Mother's Day 2020

Happy Mother's Day to Reverend Mother.

The Wife is not having such a wonderful one.

Wednesday evening, The Wife mentioned she was having an issue. Her sense of smell had disappeared. I asked if she was sure, as having allergies, mine kind of comes and goes. She mentioned she wasn't able to smell the pork chops cooking, a freshly peeled orange, or air freshener. She is a tad worried, as this is one of the early possible symptoms of Covid. She was having no other issues, just the lose of smell, which to went on to test, cleaning the cat litter box to be sure she couldn't smell it.

The Wife is a Physical Therapist at a rehab center. they have some Long Term Care there, as well as respiratory, and other patients in different stages. Many of the one she directly work with are elderly , on their way home, but haven't had enough PT to handle being back home yet. Either way, Some cases have popped up there, and now she is starting symptoms.

Thursday she informed her boss (obviously) and that evening, she started spiking a low grade fever (99.3). By Friday, she was feeling achy, similar to flu, but was not worse off. We were able to find a place to get her in for a test Friday, and by Saturday Morning, had the result that her test was positive.

So, now our house is on lockdown for the next couple weeks, depending in any others here show symptoms. So far it is just the Wife, but with her being home for at least the next week, who knows. She is able to return to work once she has had three days with no symptoms.

We contacted family members that need to know. I let a couple friends know as I had been over there a couple days ago. Now it is a minimum of 7 days together...with one of us sick. Joy.

Playing the waiting game now. Does anyone else get it? Does the Wife get it worse? She hasn't had breathing issues as of right now... Will it just be a mild case? Sounds like something to keep me wondering and guessing about like an old television serial.
