On Friday, 11/20/20, I started to not feel so good. At first, I thought it was allergies because it is that time of the year, but I was wrong. I let my boss and professors know that I was not going to be at any meetings that day that I had planned on being at and that I was going to be tested for Covid-19. I contacted my school's health email and got direction as to where I was to go get tested. I went to Rhea County's Health Department and after three hours, I finally got my nose swabbed.
As I was in line, I started to feel wobbly and not able to really drive for a long period of time. The health team at Bryan wanted me to go into quarantine until I at least got my results back, but with it being so close to the end of the semester, my mom and I decided it would be best for me to come home. I had to have my mom and bonus dad to come pick me up as, like I said, I was not up to drive for 3 hours.
I came home to my room where I have been for most of my time here so far. On Saturday, I got my results back and they said that I was Positive for Covid-19. My symptoms are mild and not too much to complain about. It feels like a severe sinus infection: stuffy nose, headache, and clogged ears (kinda like when they do not pop when coming off a mountain). I am noticeably more tired than I usually am and my breathing is harder as well. For right now, I have to watch what I eat lest I want to return it. I can do a lot of things like shower, write a blog, walk to the kitchen to get water, and such, but then I do need to sit down for a moment to get my bearings. (As I am writing this, I just got a call from Rhea County Health Department to ensure that the results I saw were correct: I am positive for Corona.)
So, now the Quarankingdom is populated again with people that I know. I have a couple of friends that are positive for Corona and many others that are in quarantine because of these cases. The quaranpeeps will reunite (socially distant that is) and have fun while we all await our sentences in this kingdom.
The main thing about this is, God is still in control. What makes this better than last time is that I am home and am able to have some communication with people on a day to day basis. God will still teach me things while I am in this isolation and I hope He does the same for my friends.
As always, prayers are appreciated. God bless you all!
