Bro, I've had plenty of colds and this ain't no cold. And given the fact that Kaydence just tested positive, I think it's safe to say that's what I've got.

So monday my wife got sick with body aches and exhaustion. No fever or cough. Tuesday she got tested at the health department both rapid and PCR. The rapid test came back negative. On wednesday I got hit with extreme tiredness but no other symptoms. She is about 70% better, still sore and lacks all her energy, I'm about 90% today, hell yesterday I was doing calipers and rotors on the hyundai. We got her PCR results last night, that explains it.
Got 'er whipped boys. Still don't have a fully charged battery, but I'm back to being operable. Kaydence was back to normal by late afternoon yesterday. Tracie and Kenna are still asleep, so fingers crossed they wake up in good shape. I'm assuming their asymptomatic or there's truly something to a nurse's immune system being superhuman and Kenna must have inherited it!

Sure. All you guys lay low til Omicron shows up. I had to beat Delta. I fought at hamburger hill and you all went to Grenada...
Glad to see you all are getting through this! No sickness is a picnic. But this Rice a Rona can be wicked!

Awesome to hear Jesse. The boys and I are back to 100% except for the cough the boys have. My energy levels have returned to normal. Jessica is still dealing with some symptoms, scratchy throat, cough, body aches and tiredness. Shes about 70% back to normal.

It's a strange virus for sure. Delta or Omi every person is different. My wife has had all the symptoms and at day 6 is still dealing with some of them. Nothing major just flu like symptoms. The only symptom I had was extreme lack of energy for two days and that was it.

I might have said it before, but at my age that happens. My son had Rice a Rona last year. Then got it again around thanksgiving, but this time he tested positive for both the flu and Rice a Rona. Now I might have said that before but at my age that is what happens.
My name is Peter but everybody calls me re-Peter now...
This is day 6 for me and last night was the first time I felt improvement. So far it has taken my smell, my taste and most of my hearing. Haven't been able to swallow solid food since Tuesday. Bone broth and warm jello diet.
Oh, and a shitload of money. It sure has been a cash cow for some...me, not so much. After this holiday break I took, I'm looking at at least 4 weeks off unpaid. Plus 2 trips to urgent care, (triple covered insurance) $163 antibiotic, plus all the other meds...looking good for one side!

The randomness of how this virus and the variants affects people differently on such a wide range if differences still baffles me.

How long was your wait at the MASH Drive in?
Friend's wife had to wait in her car outside the place for 2.5 hours before she could be seen. Finally got in. She is a bleeding heart liberal, he has an FFL.
You talk about the Odd Couple!?!? Anyways, she goes up to the front desk and promptly announces she has splinters in her heal and her husband won't pull them out because he says they are planters' warts... The people just stare at her with their jaw on the floor! She says, well are you going to help me or not?! So they take her in and the doctor comes in smiling and wants to know what her problem is. She tells him and he can't find a thing wrong with her (though he isn't a psychiatrist...) So she goes home upset that nobody will help her and they hurt! The waiting room backing up even more...
Now she is home with a cold but not going back there to be tested as she is triple vaxxed and will just be tested at the public school she works for as they test every Wednesday anyways... SMH
I didn't want my health in the hands of the government. Not in this case anyways. I went civilian side. To the place I trust with my wife and kids.
So I've been thinking about this a little more. Think about your average family around the US. Now think about their bank account. Compound the timing of Christmas and your average family provider would be asking for government handouts. That is the part of the puzzle I didn't understand before. Now I get it. If we lived paycheck to paycheck, I would be shitting bricks. So happy to be away from that college lifestyle, lol. I might take an extra week since I'm getting screwed out of my favorite deer season!

You mean you have money you haven't even spent yet? LOL
Easy now, lol. Been saving to finish my barn and put a roof on the house. So it's spent, lol.
Over break the wide and I were actually trying to decide what project was getting finished first. Barn/roof/pond, as of this morning, roof wins.

You might want to correct the spelling of wife up above before she sees it. Otherwise you get hot tongue and cold shoulder for dinner all week!
Lol the wide? Call your wife that and it will cure whatever ails you permanently. Lol

Not the first time I've seen auto-correct turn "wife" into "wide". It's funny every time.
