Just T May I suggest you take a covid test? Cold symptoms seem to be the number one symptom lately. Giant hugs as you continue to navigate your life, dear Pea.

I posted a few minutes ago that I took one yesterday. My sister in laws adult son has covid right now, and he started out thinking it was just allergies. I have a few tests at home, so I took one, and it was negative.

I have family here in MN and also in TX that had covid recently and they were sick about a week.

Just read your update. If you are sick, you should make sure your friend doesnt mind you coming over and you definitely should not be visiting a nursing home. Illnesses spread like wildfire in those facilities due to fragile health and close quarters. Please dont take your germs to that vulnerable population. I should have said I would visit my dad on Sunday if my cold is better. I pretty much decided last night after talking to my mom that I'm not going. I am not even sure if I have a cold. I also have allergies, and they've been bad the past couple of weeks as they always are in the fall. Yesterday, I just overall wasn't feeling great, so I thought maybe it was more. I even took a Covid test as my sister in law told me her son who has covid right now just thought he had allergies at first. It was negative. My friend knows I'm sniffly. LOL We got together for drinks Wednesday night, and we were both feeling the itchy nose thing. She invited me knowing this. This morning, I am feeling great. I think I am just becoming worn out from everything life is throwing at me. For me to nap yesterday was so out of character. Now, I am just back to feeling like I'm going to sneeze a lot. Even if my dad takes a big turn for the worse and I do go visit, the nursing home is making people mask right now as there have been a couple of covid cases there. They won't let you in the door without a mask. Do another covid test before you go. The days of testing positive immediately are long gone. And if you must go, wear an N95 mask and dont remove it. My ds works at a Skilled Nursing Facility and he has seen first hand how one visitor "with a cold" can start the spread of Covid throughout the building. There is always someone who doesnt survive it.

There is always someone who doesnt survive it. As of right now, I am not planning to go. But if something happens and I need to, I will definitely take another test just to be sure. I have 3 tests left. I just took another one this morning, just to be sure before I go to my friend's house, even though I am feeling much better today. Unfortunately, i think I may be taking lots of covid tests. Because if I stay home every time I have the sniffles, I will never leave. LOL I need to go have some allergy testing done, but I don't have health insurance right now, so I just muddle through.
