Been too long since last I posted. Couldn't really help it, though. First I tripped and injured my wrist, making typing extremely limited. Followed about a week later with me catching covid. For various reasons, I was not vaccinated. Thankfully, having had it, I now have the natural immunities (though stupid OSHA only allows for unnatural antibodies in order to not wear a mask at work?). I remember back when I caught the swine flu years ago. That hit harder, but covid seemed to last longer. I had body aches and a headache for over a week, along with the occasional chill, and eventually lost taste and smell for about a week. I cannot tell you how relieved I was to get those back so rapidly. I know people who went like 3 months to get it back. I think I got back like 80% or so within a week and it's at least back to 95% now. Only having textures when you eat is bizarre.
Thankfully, breathing issues were minimal. I would be short of breath on occasion, and had a few days of coughing, but otherwise everything was fine there. I'm fairly certain I caught a mild case of covid last year and this was the delta, which basically hit me like a nasty flu. And nasty flu seems to be what it's turning into for those who have the antibodies going forward. I'm grateful that it wasn't worse.
Sadly, though my covid is all better, my injured wrist is still an issue, though mildly so. Some days it will be almost back to normal, then I'll do something, or will go to sleep, and it'll go back to being painful and difficult to do much with. I've taken to wearing the wrist thing they gave me intermittently. It seems to help sometimes, but not always. I think it depends on how tightly I strap it, but even after weeks can't figure out the exact right amount. Ah well.
