Improving

 

Well, we are still here. :).  My Husband is improving, his cough especially is getting better but he still has a bit to go.  I don't know about me.  I've had some sore/swollen throat and sinus headache but I can get either for other reasons and, since the doctor said not to test me when my Husband was tested (he had 2 positives) as I was not showing symptoms, we did not do that until today and it was.... negative.

But is it really? Sigh.  Or is it and I should still be careful in case my Husband can still give it to me (it's a miracle if I don't have it, we were in the rented SUV for HOURS over two days, one of those he was sick already).  

Anyway, I am definetely drinking lots of tea, resting a lot (I have been a bit tired), taking extra vitimins and lots of blessed monastic honey! 

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.  At least 5 familes from our church have at least one person with C-viD so there will be a lot of us praying together from our homes, watching the service online etc.  Even our Christmas church party was postponed! Such strange times we are in.

Thanking God that so far we are not that sick.  

I am thanking God for every good thing....

So sorry that you are both under the weather (although glad to hear your husband is improving!). The reason your test might be negative is if you are vaccinated, a rapid test will be negative for up to 3 days after symptoms start, because your body's immune system kicks in because of the vaccine, which makes symptoms, but the virus will eventually overwhelm the response temporarily, which will give you a positive test. S had a negative test 48 hours after E got sick, but definitely had it, and tested positive again much later (even after he was well again, as the virus continues to shed for a while after you are well and no longer contagious).

Thank you for the update. Continue to take care of yourself and your dear husband. It will get better.

Sounds like you probably have Omicron, which is the better one to have! I hope you’ll both be better soon. Merry Christmas!!

That honey is from the beautiful monastery we attend regularly! It's 9 minutes from our home. I hope you both feel better soon.
