I am not someone who often feels, or actually is, sick. Aging—and San Diego’s unhealthy air (and overall) environment—means I don’t feel as consistently good as in the past. But my overall constitution and immunity are robust enough—usually.
That’s my explanation for four-day lapse posting. Something got me this week, and it wasn’t terribly debilitating either. Symptoms started strangely: Sharp pains over my left eye, which sunlight exacerbated. That passed by Day 2, when body aches and general exhaustion manifested. I also developed a low-grade fever (37.7 Celsius; 99.9 Fahrenheit)—my first since December 2017. Honestly.
The progression and symptoms, but not duration, suggest SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2)/COVID-19 variant. But who knows, or cares? Regardless, I felt crappy enough to miss all my daily health activity goals for three days. Oh, and the Samsung Health app wanted me to know, too.
