Whoa doggy this is a raging sinus infection! Fever, chills, aches…all the fun stuff! Probably moving down in my chest now. This is one of the worst I have ever had. It’s kicking my butt! I am staying in bed, quarantined in my room and miserable.
Not hungry, still no taste or smell, but eating what I can. BF made me chicken soup last night and sausage and eggs this morning. Drinking as much as I can and taking my meds.

@DJill68 - Have you done a recent covid test?

@micaroo4 I took one Thursday, it was negative.

@shaunarlr83 Haha that’s too funny, that’s what I do with flare-ups too, forget how bad it was and push it again a couple months later. Sounds like your next boyfriend should be an auto mechanic with all the car issues going on with your family! Honestly your before and afters just of your smile are incredible then there’s the obvious physical difference, you’ve worked hard for where you are now so don’t forget it!

@tammymccrady6278 What an awesome loss, congratulations! You lost an average 2 year old child! OK that sounds bad, how about a 30 pack of beer?! Or a car tire or 5 bags of sugar! According to an arthritis website 10lbs = 30-40lbs less pressure per knee, that’s 75lbs less pressure on your knees minimum, how cool!

@DJill68 Oh no, that doesn’t sound good at all! Points to the boyfriend for cooking for you, I hope the meds start kicking in soon! I know it always seems to take a few days, if we felt good quarantining it would be like a vacation but the rest time is usually when we feel lousy. Good idea on the test @micaroo4 as I’m hearing a lot of people recently are sick with it and don’t test positive until near the end.

@gemwolf110 Great job with the exercise! If you’re still doing some of it the rest will fall into place, you got this.

Hi team! Been real tired all day, I’m trying to get the right balance of my new medication and sleeping pill. I take what equals 6 Benadryl to knock me out at night so that with a med that makes me tired is too much. I’ll only admit this to you all but I’m kind of grumpy. I went to the farm and am doing no leaning forward and only doing stuff right next to me gently then left early, I’d invited the neighbor who is volunteering at the farm over to take home extra plants and she stopped by and was real excited and asked me to come check out her garden, she has two beautiful cats as well. She just came by a few minutes ago and brought me the pots after she planted everything and roses from her yard in a vase and they smell amazing. I keep feeling like I'm back where I was when I was bedridden and isolated but I'm not really and I'm very grateful for my friends in this group and MFP and the new friends I've made around here as I don't think I could've handled this without all of you. I got the cats in for nail trims, they carried on loudly and another man came in after me (Petco where the rescue group shows cats) and his cat starting wailing in unison with mine, kind of embarrassing. I’m going on an adventure tomorrow about 35 miles away for a support group meeting. Can’t really complain about trouble driving when we all have severe pain right? We’re meeting at an ice cream shop so that should cheer us all up until the sugar kicks in and makes our pain worse. Hope you all have a great Sunday!

No Zero Days
- Healthy food under calories aside of one thing
- Did gentle weights and stretching plus some weed pulling.

@DJill68 - The reason I asked about the covid test is because my boyfriend didn't test positive until he'd been sick for a week. I didn't test positive until my 4th day of symptoms.

@txcritter69 Great job with the walks with Diesel! I have a Samsung watch and love it. I hope you like it.

@DJill68 Congrats on the loss! I'm sorry you are still sick and sorry that you are getting attacked for feeding FIL healthy food. That's a shame.

@AmbersWay Thank you! I'm sorry you haven't been feeling your best. I love jewelry and would have loved that exhibition! Awww, the doggies!

@shaunarlr83 That's too bad about Mother's Day and the stress. I hope things get better.

@Katmary71 I'm getting more caught up, thanks. That's good news about your micro current machine. Sorry about Bill. I hope you can get the meds worked out so you aren't sleepy. It doesn't sound to me like you are back to where you were bedridden but it does sound like you are struggling a lot. I hope things get better for you. I think about you often. Good luck with the meeting. Hugs.

@tammymccrady6278 Congrats on the loss!

Hi all. I had such a busy day yesterday but it was awesome. Lots of steps in. I went for groceries, went to an art museum, the movies to see "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret?" (the book was a favorite when I was 12. I loved the movie, too!). Today, I am going to the zoo this morning with a friend that is moving.

My phrase for the year: "Every choice is another chance to change my health for the better."
