I've been sick

[00goddess]

I've been super-sick. Saturday afternoon I started feeling really run down; saturday night my throat started hurting. My temp started rising. By midnight I had lost my voice.  I tested for Covid on Saturday night and Monday afternoon, both negative.

My symptoms have been: very painful sore throat, cough, fever, exhaustion, headache. A little bit of mucus/congestion but not much. Keeping my head elevated helps with that.

I've mostly been sleeping. B doses me with cough syrup when I start coughing again. Yesterday I was able to be up for a few hours but was very weak. A few minutes ago I woke up feeling better than I had since Friday. Cough is less intense and I feel like my voice may come back.

The new moon was Saturday. I did my new moon ritual before I lost my voice, but since then I haven't done the rest of the week. I've had no voice and been exhausted. I know the gods are understanding and have seen my dedication. As soon as my voice is back I will resume this month's activities.

I haven't been this sick in years, it's pretty brutal.

Unfortunately I am still sick! 8 days now. The sore throat is gone, but the cough is terrible and I am draining tons of mucus. And sleeping a lot. My voice is kind of back but not much. I took another Covid test this morning and it was negative. I read that RSV is really bad this year, I am wondering if it's that.

Love back at you forever <3
