Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 7, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2022 The Wednesday before Christmas, I caught it. Retested yesterday, still positive. WTF, over. Anyone else fighting it now? My entire street seems to have caught it and my neighbor across the street is in ICU with double pneumonia. Shaking my head. I had two employees test positive last Wednesday and out of an abundance of caution, shuttered my shop till Monday. Everyone now is COVID free but me. I must be special. Well, back to the bench, I even dragged out HMS Speedy for some build time. Finish Buffalo, finish Mustangs, get back to Speedy. 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Coworker came back from our Christmas break and didn’t know he was positive. He just had mild sinus congestion. We went to lunch together Tuesday and now I’m waiting on my test results and work has me on quarantine until next Tuesday unless my results come back hot. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'm just happy you're up and about. Went and got my booster yesterday, and that knocked me on my behind for the day, but can be anything like what you've been through twice. Get well soon! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 7, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2022 The odd thing is, I never popped a temp at all. 97.7 - 98.2 on the IR reader. Harald, I’m glad to be semi up and running as well. I’ve been deathly ill at times through my life, and for me, this was nothing. But it just seems to linger on and on and on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Well there's enough tragedy around the planet, don't need it striking here! I'll have a "cough syrup" for you in a few days when I go off shift, new rules are too stingent at the moment so can't have any between shifts! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Ernie, I know you were hoping for bench time but that's not the way to get it. Glad to hear you're mostly on the mend. My niece caught it at New Year's. She's eight and had only gotten her first shot so there's a bit of concern. She's having to isolate at home which is making things challenging for her parents as they've got to keep two young kids occupied and interested. Meantime my sister-in-law is quadruple vaxxed as she's not only an organ transplant recipient but an ER doc. She is so burned out, she skipped Christmas.

Winnie Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 12 hours now, after some idiots at Sunwing could't show up sober after 8 hours... And with 12 hour shifts, no time for "cough syrup" lol. And NO Confetti!! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daywalker Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hope you're on the mend soon! I woke up last night at 2am with the stomach flu, wretched my guts out till 4am. Have pretty slept nonstop since 4am this morning. Just typing this has made me so tired I'm going back to bed lol. Hope you get your negative soon! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Oh man Frank. I hate puking. Even if it's supposed to be good for you. Alright folks my turn to hit the sack. Got a puppy I suspect will be waking me up in four or five hours' time for a bathroom break. Carl 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Ernie, that sucks, apparently this “long” covid is a pain as is just debilitates you for awhile. Try and get some bench time at least… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Sorry to hear you're still battling the covid. Wife and I got our "booster" yesterday and arms sore as Hell! Get well soon! Barry 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 First test results are back negative. I have to take another on Tuesday when I return to work (as long as I have no symptoms) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hope you feel better soon Ernie. Thankfully I've avoided it so far, as have all the family other than my daughters boyfriend, but my department at our hospital is running with a 45% vacancy rate between testing positive and isolating as close contacts. Basically at the moment here if you have school age kids you're screwed! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 9, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2022 FINALLY! 10 minutes ago I did a rapid test and am COVID negative. Still feel like a blob of gelatin, but I’m COVID free. Thanks for the prayers and positive waves. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Great news there Ernie. Being Covid free, not the gelatin part. Hope that passes soon too and you're back to normal.

Even if it’s produced the way Ernie described, a glass of Jack Daniels still beats hands down its equivalent in bleach to fight Covid … Just my Hubert PS: great news to read that you’ve overcome the worst of the virus, buddy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
