I might have coronavirus.
I'm a health-junkie so feeling unwell or lethargic is pretty unusual for me unless I'm experiencing the joys of being a woman. Thursday though I was taken to hospital because the non-emergency health line I called to describe some symptoms to thought I was having a stroke.
After a lot of tests including an ECG and chest X-ray, they confirmed my heart is fine, even though my heart-rate was very elevated and my blood-pressure was crazy low. They confirmed I have a virus of some kind due to my white cell count in a blood test + other symptoms but the coronavirus swab was inconclusive. So they told me to self-isolate at home for 7 days regardless, which is fine, because all I want to do right now is lie down and have hot baths and drink lots of tea.
Anyway I get a message to open my door today and find ...
- A dozen roses.
- Paracetamol + medication
- Coffee
These are not all from the same person but at least one of the senders (the one I'm not related to) is someone I think I wanna marry right now, but maybe that's just the fever talking.
