“So many similar stories. The unpredictability of this virus is scary. My husband’s uncle died from covid. He was sick for a number of days before going to the doc and died 3 weeks later. His wife stayed negative.”
I feel that I got this crud in mid/late November 2019 before we knew anything about it. Our PPO had me take about every test known to mankind. I had blood in my urine besides what are now known common side effects from loss of my sense of smell and taste. The feeling that I got ran over by an all pro defensive tackle. My sense of balance was basically gone.
Then, I probably passed it on, at or before Christmas to our younger adult son and freshman year college student/grand kid. The grand kid was over it in less than a week and went back to college.
That son lost about 30 pounds, which he didn’t need to lose. He felt miserable after Christmas to the end of January.
It took me a few weeks into February to feel like I was in basic recovery with sense of smell and taste back and feeling balanced when I walked.
That son and I have the same family doc at the PPO, whom we have known for over a decade. When our son asked this doctor if he had the same crud that I had, that doctor said maybe.
Meanwhile in those episodes, our bed partners, our wives may have had the sniffles. With our older son, neither his wife or adult son even had the sniffles.
My wife and her DIL’s tell us that they are superior sex in our lives. :)
