Bored To Tears

It is the second day I am home til I know if I have covid or simply something else.  I was off Sunday.  I am up and down.  Went in the bedroom last night very early...propped up with pillows enough to breathe with and without the cpap.  Now is just after 2 am and I am in the recliner. Sinuses are very congested but with effort can kinda breathe.  


It's a catch 22. I need to Lysol and wipe things down, but have to watch as the lysol will burn my sinuses and throat if not careful. I do think I will take a nice hot steamy shower for about 85 hours. (LOL That will open things up. )

Just don’t get so bored that you put the news on. Hope the shower helps. I have been using a Neti pot that clears the sinuses well. All the pharmacies have them. Hope that this passes quickly.

I gave up the news a long time ago. Lol

I am actually feeling a bit better. Thinking I am probably negative and just wound up with a nasty sinus and chest deal.

If you have any hobbies like going for walks, or reading a good book, those are the kind of things that help me avoid being bored. If the weather is decent, I take my smart phone wth me and play an audio book that I downloaded previously. It helps me out alot.

God Bless

Veggiequeen, I had COVID and was hospitalized for a week. It sucks but a few of the biggest things are laying on your stomach (my sis is a Nurse and explained that opens up lungs to drain fluid) and make sure you keep an eye on O2. Praying everything comes out okay for you!
