My 81 year old mom lives with us. Tough as nails. Up till Wednesday she would spend 6-7 hours in yard work digging with pick ax to improve soil [emoji2957]
Thursday night after supper she said she had a chill and went to bed early. Next morning she said she was a little dizzy. Check her temp 98.1. She said she was going to take it easy. She stayed inside reading and doing sudoku. About the same at supper time
Next morning temp is 100.2, still dizzy, body aches. Set time to go to local Duke doc in a box. They her her symptoms and say “ Can’t see you here. You need to go to Covid-19 testing site”. So 35 miles away and all they do is test for Covid-19 and tell her to take Tylenol and call normal doctor. She feels a bit better and wants to go home.
Sunday she feels better, still has aches and temp of 99 using Tylenol.
Monday test results come in - negative.. make online appointment at doctors office. We get there, they ask symptoms at desk. They said that because they are more than 2 Covid symptoms they can’t see her. Give Covid-19 hotline for us to call [emoji2955]
Call hotline, they ask 100 questions. Say they will do a virtual doctor visit. Doctor calls, ask about 10 questions, says go to ER.
So now at ER. Mom is coherent and I am not her guardian so I can’t go in with her. But they got to come to me sometime... I have all her insurance information [emoji38]
So don’t get sick or if you do hopefully it’s a broken arm or something that’s not fever and aches!
