Day 2 of Covid in the hospital

[Jane Austin]

36. I am so sorry you are suffering.

Are you in a city or in a small town?

If a city, there should be services you can use.

If not, for goodness sake, drink lots of fluids and try to eat well.

If you can't go to the doctor, at least call his or her office and let them know what's going on.

Just don't tell them about the city councilman you saw on tv, because they may think you are "just copying" what you saw. I know you're not, but sometimes busy doctors will just grab onto a convenient excuse and hang on. They like to get an answer, too.

Ask for a home health visit and a flu test. You need to eliminate the flu.

I think I've read that Advil and Aleve aren't good in this situation, so if you can, switch to Tylenol.

You may not be sick enough to call 911, but you are certainly sick enough to call you doctor!

A week is a long time to run a temperature.

Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing;.
