Final Tested Positive to COVID-19

This was my fourth day of quarantining for Covid.  I qualified for taking Paxlovid for five days.  One more day to go.  During these days I have stayed separately to not re-infect Linda.

Linda spent last week quarantined and I wore a mask.  I was not surprised to test positive.  She had mentioned a sore throat, body aches, and chills.  On Saturday, my throat felt a little different.  During the night I woke up with chills and in the morning tested.  The University  of Michigan Medicine contacted my primary care doctor.  Later in the day I received my prescription.

My biggest symptom has been the fatigue.  I have spent a lot of time in bed and not doing much activity.  No biking on Sunday, day 1.  On Monday I started  with a 20 minute session on the exercise bike.  After dinner I got on for another 20 minutes.  Each day  of the next two days I added 20 minutes.  I was pleased to be able to do this and hope that I can continue to add more each day.

Our May weather has been wet and cold.  I would not have gone outside to ride anyway.
