I like this picture.  It makes my smile.

So I have put in my first 40 hours of work.  It was a grueling week - I will explain in a second.  Other than learning complex computer systems and complicated legal documents that I will need to understand...all learning from computer only.  Tiny screen on my laptop the government agency sent me...I got through it.  I officially finished my first week!

Now back to the week I have had...Week before last, DH was complaining about headache and muscle soreness.  No other pain or symptoms.  But he was getting more and more fatigued.  By the end of last week he was sleeping a LOT.  Then Sat he started having problems focusing and mild fever on and off and was sort of acting weird, like he was not understanding...Sun was worse.  By Monday he was having really shallow breathing but no throat soreness, no coughing...no chest pain.  By Tuesday he was having chest pain and higher fever - we went for Covid19 test (I took a long lunch).  Nurse listened to DH lungs - said they sounded "good".  She did point out low oxygen saturation - 89.  Said we might want to buy one of the finger monitors if we could find one (good luck with that - I can't even find a thermometer).  We get a call next day - negative for Covid.  By Wed he was sleeping all day and really declining.  He was out of it and fever got up to 102 despite Tylenol.  So to the ER we went.

As we know from first hand or have heard - we cannot go into hospital with our loved ones.  So, he is in and out delirious.  I take him to entrance and I have to go wait in my car.  Nurse calls and I go through all his medications with her.  By now it is 9pm.  She tells me that DH has pneumonia and they are keeping him all night.  I was sort of relieved.

Next morning another nurse tells me that DH had received IV antibiotics.  I asked her if they tested for Covid 19 again?  She said no.  I ask if they cultured to see what type of pneumonia - she said no.  Since his white blood count (13?) was high - they assume bacteria.  So gave antibiotics.  He responded favorably (was down to 10 now) - so by deduction - they go with bacterial in origin.  No idea why he was delirious, but I guess that could be fever or low oxygen?

Crazy.  He was in hospital 2 nights.  I picked him up Friday.  He seems better, but still very tired, no appetite and sort of flat in affect.  Sort of slow and shaky.  

What a week.  I spent Sat mowing and food shopping.  Today I had to go to furniture store to see if I could find a good office chair.  After sitting in my dining room chair for 40 hours last week I had sciatic pain so bad in was going down both legs and around front of my left knee and my back was on fire.  I can't keep doing that.  The furniture salesman sort of laughed and said "we were not planning on the entire country working at home!"  Well that makes sense I guess.  LOL

Anyway.  I hope DH continues to be well.  And I hope all you out there stay well.  Sitting here watching a movie with DH relaxing before back to work tomorrow!
