Well shit.

Avoided it for 3 years, but one of my wife's coworkers came to work sick, got her sick, now I've got it. Feeling pretty discouraged, to think of all the precautions we have taken, only to have this happen ☹️

Wife was pretty sick for about 5 days. I just started feeling it yesterday. Not doing too bad, but damn if I'm not upset about her coworker's inconsideration.

I'm planning to still keep up the fight, still take precautions - that's the smart thing to do, right? Looking for a little reassurance/support.

@perpetualmystic So sorry to hear this. I hope you both feel better soon! Rest, rest, rest. Housework can wait. Don’t lift heavy things, don’t go up and down stairs if it can be avoided. Lie in a dark quiet place if that feels good. Close your eyes as often as possible. Don’t exert your brain if you can help it! These are all tips I’ve gathered from others, and can attest to myself. The more you can rest now, the better chances you’ll have at a good outcome later.

@perpetualmystic And don’t give up; continue to take precautions. As others have said, it’s not your fault, nor your wife’s. We’re out here trying to survive and the odds are utterly stacked against us! The fewer infections we get, the more likely we will be to continue living our lives the way we wish to. Stay strong and know you have lots of internet strangers in your corner.
