So over the last week or so I have been fighting a pretty nasty dry cough, bouts of a fever and really scary breathlessness. On day 7 of self-isolation now.
I first started showing when I felt a bit strange at the end of last week, and as soon as I developed a cough this past weekend I holed up. My boss was sick from work with the same symptoms but more severe. She's in her mid-30s and I am in my mid-20s. My cough started to get worse and I had a temperature on and off on Monday and Tuesday, but by Wednesday I had turned a corner. Throughout this whole time my boss was bedridden.
Through the latter half of this week the cough has gotten less persistent, but the breathlessness remains. My boss has thankfully turned a corner and her symptoms have started to clear up. My partner is starting to show signs, even though we were sleeping in separate beds and rooms. Just got to hole up and be good to each other through it. It can affect everyone differently, so please be careful everyone!
