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!

Day 3 - Doctaly Consultation

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 no...

Running outdoors resumed today.

Wow that was lovely to get back out there on two feet and see what my body had left in it. I was a little concerned about running, but I needn't have been.  Starting out nice and gently, with a simple, flat 5k being the goal, I felt better than expected from the off. Setting out a little faster than planned, I eventually just settled into a 10.15min/mile average and kept it there. Giving things a chance to warm up a bit, inc my body as it was a bit chillier than I thought! Much to my surprise my lungs were fine, breathing wasn't a struggle in any way, and my HR remained under control, falling nicely after any inclines.  One thing I did notice throughout the day post run was a cough. Not bad, nothing serious, but more frequent that it has been for the past few days. That said, its productive, so that's a good thing. Clearing that chest up nicely now. Oh and sore legs! Still achy this evening, after such a short run, haha!  So that's me, let's see how I feel in the mo...
