Last week I was visiting my DD and family; the little one came home from school feeling tired and was warm. Poor little fellow developed a high fever which stayed for two days, but quickly recovered in time for Halloween. Then DD fell ill and spent two days in bed. She was so upset to be ill when I was visiting, but I assured her I was glad to be of help, and was on had for soup making and cold cloth dispatch.
I came home with fingers crossed, but developed the same. DD had tested both herself and son, but were negative for covid, so I didn't bother to test myself.
My goodness, I was laid out for 3 days, High fever and tired, with achy kidneys and a bit of a heat rash on my back. Not so much nasal, but I developed a cough, but not bad. I took extra time off work plus had the weekend to recover. I did return to work Monday, but am wearing a mask to prevent spread, although I'm not sure how long I am contagious.
Luckily my DH was away at the same time, but back now. We are able to stay separate in the house for a few more days.
Be careful when you are out, and perhaps get masks handy if you are in close company of others. I have not yet had my yearly flu shot, so perhaps this was it. I realize that we may not have the same viruses going around here as in UK, but it is flu season, and Covid is still making rounds.
