A horrible not covid virus

 Wednesday: Someone came to visit with a heavy cold, I kept my distance. The next day, Thursday, my energy levels crashed and I felt aches and pains randomly throughout the body and thought out day. I did what had to be done, went to bed in between essential tasks and picking up grandson from school, caring for animals. Waiting outside grandsons school, I wanted to get out of the car, head into tescos and get a bottle of water, I couldn’t muster up the energy. As soon as I got home, he headed up to his mum, they live above us, and I went to bed. 

Later that evening, my husband checked on me, an lot, I had no appetite but drank water. I had no energy and stayed in bed. 

Friday: In the early hours, I started being sick, copious amount on the floor because I couldn’t stand up. Eventually I got to the loo, tidied up and put towels on the floor to soak up the sick, I was too weak to deal with it otherwise. Husband checked to see if I was okay and he it was who cleaned up the next morning. He took day off work. I stayed in bed, no appetite and drank water, others did my essential animal care jobs. Had horrendous runs. Extremely runny cold and cough. Covid test negative.

Woke up Saturday, with enough energy to do basic must do jobs. Kept activities to a minimum and rested between. No more sickness but stomach still not recovered. Ate a little. Still plenty of nose blowing and coughing. 

Sunday, feeling better but with cough and still dodgy stomach.
