End of Day 5

Phew, really ran out of energy by this evening, but have my appetite back a bit. Probably partially the extra food I took on that sapped the energy from my reserves. Nice to actually feel like I'm fueling myself again now. Maybe tomorrow I will be sensible enough to take it a little bit easier physically, and save some energy for existing.

Cough a little more productive this evening, but a lot less frequent, so throat feels like it's getting a bit of break.

Resting HR has been nicely back down at 43bpm today, while temperature has remained at 36.8c

Still feeling positive that things are on the up, but also more than aware that I am still a bit poorly, and just don't want to accept it. 

Will tomorrow bring a negative test? I doubt it right now.

Day 8 - Test time.

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!

Covid Isolation - Day 7 - Strength returning.

Today I decided was a ride day, on Zwift of course. So jumped on the TdZ for Stage 5, a nice flat fast route. Decided against the slightly tougher Richmond course, as I don't want to push too hard too soon. Starting out I felt a bit urrgh, but as the first few miles passed, I settled in and found my flow.  45 mins or so at 225w, with a max HR hitting 160s. Haven't done that for a while! And thankfully it didn't feel too dramatic either.  Gentle spin after to let everything settle down. End result, feeling good, but cough has increased a bit post ride. Which is pretty normal for post effort recently. A little bit productive, but not painful, and most importantly, no stress on the trachea this time. So things ARE improving. On the flip side, today's test was..... POSITIVE! Oh well, they are coming up positive almost immediately, so any chance of early release is out the window. But that's OK, I am actually alright with that. Take it easy, (yeah yeah I know I'm not...

Day 3 - Afternoon Update

 Phew, what a morning it has been. Finally managed to get back to sleep for an hour or so, filled the battery up a little. By the time I got up again, Ann had confirmed she has now tested positive also, so now at least that's out of the way so to speak. So far her symptoms are mild, with a cough and slight weakness.  As for me, I would love to say I am feeling better, but I now have an ache through to my bones, I am sure you know the feeling. My chest is getting a lot sorer now from coughing, which in turn affects my breathing a little. But nothing major. Sniffle is getting worse now though, and I am doing my best to keep all that crap off my chest. That is the last thing I need right now.  Other than that, all else is about the same. Most symptoms fit that of flu (much to the delight of deniers I am sure). I did have a little walk on the treadmill earlier, still trying to keep my aching body moving, rather than completely seizing up. Started out slow and gently increased...
