serindeLast Paxlovid dose this morning; now is waiting 2-4 days to see if there is a rebound. I'm expecting not? but who knows?
Also took a LFT (negative), and figure I should test at least daily for the next five days. S remains negative as well. This is going to wipe out our strategic reserve of rapid tests.
Physically about the same: sinus of doom, fatigue, occasional coughing bouts. Happily(?) the headache is only sinus headache, lacking the additional skull cap of woe I had yesterday. Since I seem to be expressing the disease in the same way I do colds nowadays, I'm adding neti pot into the morning rituals; can't hurt, might help.
I felt very whiny and sorry for myself last night; today, I seem to be more resigned. I wish the weather wasn't so heavy; I think I'd do better if I could sit out in the garden, but it's just not very pleasant. (At least it's not quite as hot at the moment, so I'm airing out my isolation chamber again - it was starting to get that funk.)
ETA: Actually I think my bronchial tubes are a bit improved. Although as noted above I am still having some coughing fits, that lurking feeling of You Might Be Horking Your Lungs Out At Any Moment has faded.
