We had the symptoms but overall we’re fine alhamdulillah. We had been doing our days as usual, eat well and slept all through the night.
Fully vaxxed and boosted for the adults and completely vaccinated for the little girl, the cough has been the hardest and longest symptom stayed.
Other than having coughing choir few times in a day, no other significant symptoms.
Mild fever only lasted for one day.
No specific medicines consumed other than panadol and drug store vitamins. Also, liters of honey lemon water.
Literally.
Ah, the other symptom that looked significant on me : anxiety.
That was why I brushed the balcony, decluttered the kitchen, cleaned the bathroom and the fridge, and many more.
Few things we have been doing slightly different. Curfew is usually at 8 pm, now it has been 7.30. Short afternoon nap time inserted to the schedule. Gallon water usually lasted for 9 days, now it goes down to 3-4 days.
Got the virus is not something that we could be grateful for, but, if there are some silver linings, here they are. I am grateful we got it after booster for the adults and complete doses for the little girl.
Since we have it together, no separating this and that hassles. Even if we don’t, there’s no way to escape in this small space we live in.
Being regularly exposed with the virus as our part of daily life since two years ago, it made me quite vigilant.
Been doing and planning weekly groceries with the thought of the risk getting it just anytime in mind.
Basic things must be fully stocked to certain amount. Donc, we got it while we were fully equipped with food, vitamin, and medecine, even cooking oil that I stock regularly.
We also covered by covid insurance purchased once we returned from London (there’s one).
As usual, His timing is always on time.Just like many things before, this one too, we got it when we are as most ready as we could, and to consider the doctor strange request, it came right when he needed the most.
All the test cameback (almost) with one stripe (very very thin line on L’s) as for today.
I truly don’t and won’t take this for granted.
So, let’s close it with Alhamdulillah and another quote from my reading on July 2020 which is still so much applicable for now :
“For now, our social behaviours and personal hygiene are our best vaccine”.
So, I hope everyone out there is safe and healthy and if you haven’t, get the booster asap.
The pandemic is getting better but, it’s too early to say we’re completely done with it.
No matter what, stay negative is still the best option.
