COVID Finally Got Me
Happy New Year to me?
After 3 years of dodging it, covid finally got me. A couple days before I was to return to work from Christmas holidays, I thought I had a sinus infection, a cold, maybe a flu. I work in health & wellness, so I decided I better take a rapid test before I went back to the office.
It was positive.
Last year, everyone I live with and hang out with regularly caught covid, and I somehow didn’t. I wondered if maybe I was immune.
Spoiler: I’m not.
I got a relatively mild case: stuffed up sinuses, slight headache, coughing. I can still taste and smell. I’m lucky.
