Well crap.
Our youngest daughter was notified by her work at the end of July that she was exposed to Coronavirus and had to stay home. We were tested on August 3rd (earliest we could get in) and she came back positive and I came back negative. But since she lives with us we all had to quarantine.
The quarantine was scheduled to end on August 19th, just to be safe I got another test on the 17th. I'd noticed I lost my sense of smell about the 12th and I've had headaches and chest congestion all summer long (I think from allergies).
Well on the 19th my test came back positive. Which meant the household didn't get to leave quarantine and we're all locked down until September 1st. My poor wife is going to have been locked down for a month (assuming we don't infect her).
I was supposed to go back to work at 6 PM, got the test results at 11:00 AM, called the boss at 11:15. He was not happy to hear from me. I've burned all my sick time at this point so I'm going to have go on short term disability.
So far the disease has been relatively mild in the house. Youngest daughter still has a cough. I have a chronic headache, chest congestion, low level fatigue, and a mild cough. Haven't felt too bad until today. Right now I feel like I've been run over. Very achy and run down. Blood oxygen levels are fine (bought a pulse oximeter early on in case we did get infected).
Been pretty busy talking to the County and the State Health departments as well as work (Boss, HR, Company that administers our Disability claims).
