Day 29 November 17th, 2020

Yesterday, was a pretty uneventful day. Mike took me to get my test to check to see if I am still positive or negative. I should find out in a few more days. I slept off and on yesterday as I was really tired and sore. The steroids are starting to wear off so I am feeling places I normally hurt and since I am not on those meds plus the cold weather it's going to hit all at once. Though I would rather it do this than an alternative.

Today I woke up kind of sweaty, I have to say every night and morning I have done that and it's strange because there is no fever. I am a fan sleeper and I even turned it off because I didn't want to catch a chill. I also for the past two days have woken up with my oxygen off my face. At some point, it's either falling off or I am just annoyed with it all and in my sleep I remove it. I am coughing a little bit more than the previous day and the cough is a little more productive which in this situation is a good thing. The only thing I am nothing that I am not too sure I like is the fact that my heart rate is higher than it has been. The only thing though that I can say is not good is the fact that 1. I have not had near as much water the past two days as I need and I've had coffee or tea daily. So I am pulling back on the coffee and tea and going back to my water throughout the day.

I had my phone appointment with my primary doctor and it went well. My doctor said to put the o2 down to 2L now. This week is to rest and recover. When I am ready to go back to virtually he said to call him but at this point, I won't go back in person till January. My next follow-up is December 30th and I need to make the appt with his dad who is my pulmonologist. He said my stats seem to be good that there is an improvement if I can walk around without the oxygen on. As long as my o2 stats recover quickly. He did say that my test may come back positive because it does take months for your body to rid the virus but that after 10 days you are not positive if you are not showing symptoms. If I want to be on the safe side to just wear a mask and of course the cleaning surfaces hands etc. If I start to show symptoms again then I will go back to isolation. He said that it doesn't hurt to have Mike and the kids test every so often either as if they were to be positive it keeps it away from me.

Now to chill out for a bit some-more and let this Ibprofuion work to get rid of my headache.
