*IMPORTANT*

Do I have it? Don’t I have it?

3rd April - I woke with a cough, no temp just a cough

4th April - coughing coughing coughing no temp, cracked on but walking about made me cough and talking didn’t help! Kept me quiet for a bit mind

5th April - totally fine, no cough, chest felt better so had a normal day. Did some exercises like I would normally. Cracked on

6th April - on the floor! Awful tummy ache, shivery, achy, no energy, tried to homeschool girls and decided on film studies!! 😂 cough cough cough - no real temp, not like I’ve had before and I’ve had temperatures a lot. Just totally exhausted

So this was the start...If you know me I’m someone who doesn’t tend to stop. Tends to be holding a piece of furniture balancing on my head whilst painting a wall. I keep busy. I’m not great at sitting still. I talk too fast too loud and break things when trying to do too much at once. 😂😂

Anyway I’m not painting the best picture of myself but trying to say I didn’t see this coming. I read all about covid like I’m sure you all have. All the symptoms. And I didn’t believe I had them. No fever. Am I breathless?? Not really sure. Can I still taste and smell? I think so.

So I did what I always do and tried to keep going. Some days I’d struggling talking for coughing and other days I’d feel totally fine but tired. I called the docs a couple times and rest was the advice. Did I listen?? Not at much as I should. I don’t think I truly believed and still not sure if I have or had it. Homeschooling needs to be done. Work needs to be done. So I put my head in the sand and kept going.

I’m saying all this because it’s now 26th April.

I’m writing this in my bed, Chris has gone for a run. Oh man all I want to do is whack my exercise video on. But I’m sat. Because as I lie in bed my heart rate is beating like I’ve just run up the stairs and I’m still coughing. My chest is done. My body says please stop. When I breath in my chest is screaming to me please just stay still.

Do I have it? I still have no idea.

Am I very well? I don’t think so

Am I tired? Utterly exhausted

We are all at home. We are all having to self diagnose. But I wanted to write this because
