Take care and make sure to get your electrolytes! Powerade is friend! Even just some light sips, I know it can be troublesome to try to ingest things when the bug makes it all seem bleh.
From the sounds of it though, having done everything right, you should be on the up-and-up before you know it. Keep being lovely and know that we all love you!
Hearing about Covid reminds me of the time I had to stand out in the cold with a slow-moving line of folks, my thoughts being "oh this is totally not a super spreader incident about to happen." I go and get tested: Positive. I waited in the room for longer than expected while waiting to hear that result, they come in with a hazmat suit and escort me out the back. That was quite an experience.
That sounds like a strange experience! Im feeling loads better today, precisely because i kept up on fluids, which ive not always been the best about lol
It was certainly a case of people not knowing what to do about everything. Me and some of the folks commented on it too, being like "oh this is real safe."
Never before seen someone in a hazmat suit face to face, and that was the last time I had.
And very good! Yay fluids!
