We finally got that “little cold” at my house… both of us are vaxed. Wife’s fever spiked to 104 last night, ER turned us away because her blood ox was 92 and temp had dropped to 102.4. They said to come back if blood ox is consistently under 90 for several hours or if high fever persists for an extended amount of time. Staying on top of Tylenol every 4 hours we’re able to keep her right at 100, blood ox hanging between 89 and 93.

So far other than loosing smell and taste, sinus insanity, someone sitting on my chest, and feeling like I’ve been run over by a truck it’s been manageable for me… but it’s early in the game and I’m damn sure not declaring victory yet.

I miss the days when men just took ibuprofen, dayquil,expectorant and went to work like a zombie. I sure miss those tough guys. No test,no sex,no beer just pills,work,sleep rinse and repeat until all was gone. Sometimes it lasted 2 months here during January and February.
