Here I sit on Day 8 since my positive test result.
Last Monday evening at work, I began getting a headache. This is nothing new--I'm prone to getting headaches--so I took some Advil and met with my next customer. That kept the ache mostly at bay for the rest of the evening. The next morning, the headache was stronger and now accompanied by a wicked head cold--lots of congestion and sinus pressure. I called in sick. Even thought I had none of the classic symptoms (fever, loss of taste, body aches, weakness, shortness of breath, etc), the GSM urged me to go get a Covid test anyway. At 7pm that evening, I received my positive result. Great.
I spent the rest of last week just sitting at home on the couch all day. I'll say Wednesday and Thursday were my two worst days just because the sinus pressure seemed to spike then, but I've been steadily improving since Friday. I had been taking some OTC medication each day, but Friday was the last day for that and I've still been improving without it.
I'm supposed to be able to return to work on Thursday.
