Covid

I'm just finishing day 6 with Covid. It really is a relentless beast. People keep asking me about my symptoms, and I suppose they are different for everyone. I have not had trouble breathing or coughing or sore throat. I honestly thought I was getting a sinus infection, but then the fevers came and never went away. It felt like the fevers and body aches located the weakest areas of my body and took hold of them. At one point I texted a few of the friends I knew still prayed and begged them to pray for me. I went 5 hours one day without a break in the fever; I just stayed in my bed and cried. It hurt really bad, and I have a fairy high pain tolerance. 

I understand why people have died from this, especially if their lungs aren't strong. It weakens your body, ,and then your mind. 

And it just lingers until it doesn't. I haven't had a fever all day. I still have crazy pressure over my eyes so I'm always rubbing my forehead and pushing on it to find any release. I started having nausea yesterday, so even though I can't taste or smell food, eating it makes me nauseated. I told Tim it's reminding me of the early days of pregnancy. 

So I guess we'll see what the next few days bring. I am so tired and wish I could say I've been reading a lot, but I haven't. For three days I couldn't do anything but rotate in bed, and then when I started feeling better Tim started feeling worse. 

The one thing I keep telling myself daily is to be so grateful for this body that is able to fight something that has truly changed the world. The human body is a marvel. I am grateful for mine and am reminded to be ever vigilant as a steward over it.
