UTI's, Flu, and Covid Oh My!!

 I knew I would get Covid eventually. I didn't think I would get Covid, the flu, and a UTI all at once...... BUT I will be honest I have one major medical issue a year, wether its stitches, concussions, kicks to the face, mumps, you name it I have probably dealt with it. This year was no different. 10 days. That's what I was told I need to quarantine for 10 days. 

Tuesday, 2 days before I got tested I woke up with some strange symptoms. That could be Covid, or the flu but because I have kidney issues and my fair share of issues with them, some of those symptoms also how I present for UTI's. though i wasn't sure until I took antibiotics for it that I happened to have and felt better that I went in the next day to get checked. While the doctor was a little baffled by my symptoms and thought it might be something else, day 3 on antibiotics and those symptoms are basically gone so I like to think one of 3 problems are on the way out the door. 

Covid v the flu. who knows what's what. Yes I have a bit of a fever though I am sweating ball sacks and think its not quite right. Ok I have a cough I do anytime I get sick of any kind. Body aches ok yes but some of that was from the UTI and the lower half of my body is feeling better the top half of my body on the other hand..... not so much. My head hurts, my eyes are KILLING me. gah. 

The worst part..... My mom was supposed to come see me this weekend. We where going to have our first girls weekend since I was in college...... She was supposed to drive up on Thursday, the day I got tested..... She thought I would be fine and be negative.... Hell I thought I would be negative..... Nope positive, well she left early in the am before I got my results or even got tested as she thought I would be fine. Bless her. She came anyways to get me groceries, bring me meds. When I tell you I almost cried when she pulled up in the yard. I almost cried.

Have you ever missed seeing someone so much and then be able to see them but not be able to hug them or be close to them? It is heart wrenching. Man I have missed her. And I definitely over did it. We  sat in the yard for a while and chatted and it was so nice to see my mom and talk to her face to face, but by the time I got back inside I was done for. My fever spiked, cold sweats, couldn't move for a solid 30 minutes afterwards so my body could recover..... That was a terrible feeling. 

She leaves tomorrow..... I am going to miss her so much, but I can't wait for her to come back and we can try again.... though maybe once cases have dropped a little bit. 

Bright side at least my medical issues for the year have been taken care of in one go.
