PERSONAL COVID-19 EDITION Good morning from Quarantine Day 5! This past Thursday at 11:30 p.m., I received a phone call with the results of what I thought was a routine PCR test for COVID that would yield the usual uneventful result. Imagine my shock when I heard the words “unfortunately, you tested positive.” Once I shook the delirium of being awakened from a deep sleep, I was more than a little surprised. I had only gone in for the test because I was asked to do a reading at an indoor church service this past weekend in honor of two of our dearest friends. I had toyed with not attending—after all, it was to be indoors in a crowd. But on the advice of doctors I consulted, the risk would be minimal for the relatively brief time I would be indoors. Yet, because I had been in a crowded area earlier in the week and would be in a closed indoor space, I felt it prudent to be tested “just to be sure” that I wouldn’t be a carrier in a large group. Needless to say, as a result of this news, I had to attend the service via a “live stream.” While I was glad I spared others from getting sick, I began contemplating what the test results might mean for me.
Glenn, thanks for the reminder about maintaining vigilance. I freely admit I have let mine slide of late to a large degree. That is definitely going to change, thanks to your post. Since the “musings” are no doubt going to be quite long during your confinement I will have less time to go out anyway 🤣. Stay well pal.
Wow, thank you for sharing. Sending good thoughts for your full recovery, Glenn.
