Guess what, the DrsC have Covid. Yep, been coughing and such so we got tested this a.m. and we both have it. The other DrC feels pretty good, I'm not so lucky. I have a dry, hacking cough that's no fun.
Our medical people prescribed Paxlovid, which turns out to be two drugs taken together: nirmatrelvir and ritonavir. What's even more weird, they just handed us the two packages, one for each of us. Normally one is sent to the pharmacy for meds, being handed them at the clinic is unusual.
We must quarantine for five days, at which point if still feeling ill, we stay in for another five days. If okay after five days, we can go out but must wear our masks for another five days.
Right now, while I'm not comfortable, my discomfort is no worse than a cold. I hope it stays like that, a life encompasses more than a few colds.
The timing of this illness could have been better. We had a bunch of tasks on our agenda for the next 9 days, many will be cancelled or postponed.
