I can recall her being sick maybe twice in the 20 year they’ve been married and works 70 hours a week, so if she’s complaining, it’s nasty.
Odds are it’s still something else She’s 60, dad is early seventies. More concerned about him as far as worst case. I was, of course, there the day before she got sick when it’s most viral if she happens to have it. If she happens to have it, we’ll get sick likely before she gets any definite test results. Im curious to hear what doctors think. She’s still waiting to be seen.
Crap, I wrote it out and lost it. She’s negative. They actually have tests that take hours now, not days.
She had a severe UTI that she had no traditional UTI symptoms of. It had caused her lactic acid to go real high, so then they had to run a battery of tests to rule out serious shit as that’s a serious thing. That’s what kicked her ass so badly. It’s kind of a mini sepsis situation. They got it back down before discharged. They had her six hours. Thankfully it’s an urgent care with an ER attached, because they ended up needing to do ct scans and heart tests and other shit.
That’s 0/3 on people I know who have been tested when really sick. In retrospect, with what we know, the young girl I know with the 104 temp I wouldn’t suspect now, that’s almost too sick for a very young woman.
Glad for my dads sake. Glad for her they caught that lactic acid thing. She’d have rather had Covid if it got worse.
I can keep my weekend golf plans with friends and not quarantine, so happy for hours result rather than days.
