My sweet husband "Kaaren" asked me to post an update to his blog followers, so here you have it.
He's doing much better but my personal physician has recommended he continue bed rest for a few more days and I quite concur.
Thank
goodness the tests for COVID-19 came back as negative for the both of
us and I have been feeling well and haven't any of the symptoms "Kaaren"
has displayed.
He had a fever of 101 which later went up to 102.
He had chills that made him shiver even under blankets.
For two days he didn't eat and only drank when I forced him to.
He could barely manage the strength to get out of bed to go to the bathroom.
My
friend, call her Dr.V, a friend of mine since college, came to examine
him as soon as she could. She told me not to bring him to the hospital
under any circumstances, unless his fever continued to climb. which
thankfully it did not.
After climbing to 102 his fever declined back to a little over 100 but it was persistent.
Dr.V drew blood for testing and did swab tests on both of us, which, as I previously said, were negative.
"Kaaren" has the flu, she's already getting better. I can tell because her stubborn streak is coming out once again.
He's
insisting that he'll be fine in a couple of hours and this morning he
stumbled into my bedroom to ask me if I wanted him to prepare my
breakfast.
He had such an earnest expression on his face I almost
felt I was being cruel when I walked him back to bed and admonished him
to stay there.
So there you have it. He's sleeping right now and the worst is past.
I checked and he currently has no temperature.
He'll be back to his blogging soon.
Thank you for all the good wishes, he hasn't seen them yet but I'm sure he'll thank you all when he's able.
Mrs. K
So glad that Kaaren is doing better. I had emailed earlier in the week explaining what was going on with me, and hadn't heard a response. Now I know why!
ReplyDeleteDid Kaaren want the thermometer anally? Sorry! I just had to ask!
Very sweet of Kaaren! Can't wait to see him back!
