When I first registered the positive test on Wed, I got a few texts and emails telling me what to do next. One of which was from my GP, asking me if I would like to complete a self assessment with an online doctor. Doctaly Assist. This was to be done via Whatsapp.
Replying to questions to a bot, I was asked about symptoms, for a SATS and temperature reading, and some other general questions. Today I receieved a message from a doctor on the chat, as a follow-up.
Asking about how things had progressed in the last 24 hours, and enquiring about my cough, I told him I had been bringing up green stuff when coughing. So as a precaution he has prescribed me anti-biotics so my chest doesn't get any worse.
The one main concern I had, addressed over a Whatsapp chat, what a wonderful service.
Paula my sister is kindly picking them up for me, so hopefully I can stop it getting too bad on my chest.
In the meantime, my temperature continues to rise, 37.1c now, and my body battery has started nose diving, just as my actual physical energy is fading too.
I asked the doctor if I was OK to keep exercising in moderation, and he feels it is fine, so long as I don't over do it. Which right now, anything more than a walk would be over doing it.
The other things I have noticed today are concentration is really an effort now, and my eyes are sore, like someone squished my eyeballs.
Nope, no suspense this time, straight up positive still. My gentle morning walk was a bit more of an effort than expected to begin with, coughing almost immediately, but settled in OK in the end. Temperature is down to 36.6c now which is nice. I can feel the difference as its starting to drop. 4 days of isolation left now inc today, so the clock is ticking down nicely now. Can't wait to get out for some gentle exercise. Cue the shite weather!
