So the flu bug turned out to be full blown Covid, and very scary it was too. All the symptoms – headache, fever, razor-wire throat, fluid on the lungs, no appetite.. thankfully he’s through that now and well on the mend.
I’m counting our blessings.
When a loved one gets sick it’s a real worry. I get anxious as well as trying my best to care for them. And then I came down with it too. Inevitable, I guess.
We’re now on the long, slow road to recovery. Covid leaves you drained of energy after it’s done it’s worst, feeling sadly depleted of resources and fatigued at the slightest exertion.
We’ve been eating out of the pantry and the freezer for the last week, and luckily we’re still pretty well stocked. Today was the first day that I felt I could do some scratch cooking and I made a simple vegetable soup from leeks, carrots and celery needing to be used from the fridge, and some cheese scones for morale boosting purposes.
Everything else on the to-do list will just have to wait.

Oh No! Be careful with the Covid recovery, it hits you in the energy centres long after you feel recovered. My youngest daughter has it at the moment and is really under the weather. Give Hugh our best and tell him to get all the rest he can, maybe re-read some of those books?

I haven’t had Covid thank goodness but even flu has to be taken seriously. I know only too well how hard it is to rest and look after oneself and that asking for help doesn’t come easily to us independent types but in the long run it is better to stop and recover than to battle on and be ill for ages. Take care and I am sending big hugs.

Thank you. And yes, you’re right. With this there’s no option to battle through it anyway – when the fatigue hits, it floors you 🙈
