Yes, it finally happened. After not missing a day of work for two years, I caught the bug. I went two weeks without vitamins, I'd run out of Cod Liver Oil and that broke my vitamin habit each monrning. ON THE DAY I got Cod Liver Oil from Amazon, I started having symptoms of a slight cold. The next day, the boss made me get tested, I was positive. I remain convinced my vitamin supplements kept me healthy for almost two years. I was convinced I was immune, but my immunity seems conditional on my vitamin supplements.

Will I make the fall Dragon? Only if I can get a negative COVID test on Tuesday the 28th. If that test is not negative, I will cancel my flight. If I get a negative test on Wednesday the 29th, I will drive to the Dragon. Other than that, it will go on without me.

Here is my update for those curious:

I woke to so many texts and PMs asking how I am doing - it is truly comforting to know that I matter to so many people. I cannot answer them all, so for those who are on FB, here you go.
Day four of symptoms.

I slept 11 hours, CPAP reports score of 1.1, the lowest it has been in a few years, I assume this is stress causing my throat to be "taught" and allowing me to breath better -this is an advantage of the condition I
wish would last forever. I slept so well, I woke only once in that time for the bathroom.

My runny nose is almost gone. My cough is less, so far today. I'm sneezing more again. The very slight headache still comes and goes as it has since Monday.

My temperature is 98.9, given my normal is 97.7, I will call this a possible, potential 1 degree fever, as my temp is often above 98.0 but only in the afternoon.
I have no other symptoms, other than being able to sleep very easily - not an altogether bad feeling.

ONE LAST ITEM: I really thought I had just a cold and the "test" was not accurate. But fact is, I can't taste my cod liver oil (and it's RANCID) and bacon has little flavor, it tasted fine yesterday morning. My flavored water and B12 mix has only a slight taste as opposed to yesterday. My vitamin C tablet tasted strong as it always does.

Yea, I have this "COVID" bug. But I still almost feel guilty for not going to work. In fact, I have remote site PMs I can do without contact with others, and will probably work later this week and next week doing that. But I want my "Fever" and headaches gone before I stop sleeping ten hours a day, I think the sleep is GOOD for me!
