Covid update:

Yesterday was day 11 for hubby. All the indicators were fine. He was taking it easy, at my insistence. And then, last night, a possible relapse. There was very little coughing in those eleven days, but he said that last night he coughed up a lung and he has a very, very mild fever. And by mild, I mean his temp fluctuates from 97.5 to 98.5, which to me, is normal..

He did take a Covid test two days ago, and the indicator was weak, suggesting he was getting over it.

What I hope is happening is that his body is doing one big push to get rid of the virus, and he's feeling crappy from the lack of sleep. His temp suggests he's in the normal range.

Update: Got more info. It's possible that the Fourth of July burger from Chili's was too much for him. That and ice cream and fries. He tossed his cookies, so probably not Covid related, other than his system isn't up to heavy, greasy Fourth of July meals because of the diet he had been on in the last couple weeks. As soon as he wakes up he'll take another Covid test to confirm.

My best wishes to you all. I just found out that the wife of one of my most favorite persons (my AC/heater guy) passed from COVID.

I'm dismayed and shocked, and profoundly sorry for my friend. They have an altruistic son so this is another burden without the wife there anymore, but they do have lots of friends helping out. So, if there is some out there harping that COVID is not around any longer, it's still out there. Be safe.

I do think it was the food. He is up and watching t.v. so that's a good sign.
