Adventures With Covid

Made on PicArts by Amy Ruth Emam

After a year in a half of being super careful so not to get the COVID-19 virus, I recently found out that I have it. How I found out was at work. We are tested weekly. I was sent home and isolating I am. For me it started out after a fit test for N95 mask was done on me. The Bitrex they spray in the head gear inflamed my lungs and kicked my asthma attacks up roaring their ugly heads. Two days later I go into work and ask to be tested since I missed it Thursday and Friday. Next thing you know I am being told I have to leave. That I am positive. The process is something. It feels like a really bad cold. The fit test didn’t give me covid 19. I just need to make this clear after revisiting and reading what I wrote. I see how it might seem like I was implying just that. People around me have what seem to be simple colds. I could have picked it up anywhere. Just after the fit test is when I started to really get sick.

I am resting. I have slept a lot. I have drank lots of orange juice. Thankful for my baby sister who bought me two jugs of orange juice because she knows how I am when I am sick. Even with my son and my siblings – Always drink your orange juice when you are trying to heal your body. The vitamin c in helps your immunity system. Allergy medication also helps dry up any runny drainage from going into the lungs. Helps dry up any extra mucus so you can breathe better. Sleep. Lots of it.

I also for myself healing and to help keep lungs strong and clear Ommm when I feel drawn to do so. Helps clear the mind as well.

I have figured it was just a matter of time before I got covid. Up to recently I was good.

I’ve been just laying here in the tiny room I rent from a generous loving family member. Pondering on what’s next?

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
