And to think, I was worried about a shortage of beds...(UPDATE) [View all]

THAT was going to be the sticking point as to whether my guy was going to be able to get his surgery.

Until this morning, when I got a text from my sis telling me she had tested positive for COVID.

I was with her on Saturday when we went shopping for Dad's groceries. We shared a banana.

I suppose there's some chance that the vaccine and boosters means that I didn't get it, but right now I'm sitting here reading the test instructions and just feeling completely overwhelmed.

For the record, we've been very careful. We're all tested and boosted and we always wear masks when around people that are not part of our "bubble." Sis is pretty sure she was exposed at work, because someone she works with tested positive. Sis wears a mask at work.

I'm so anxious about a pending positive result (which I'm sure will mean that Al's surgery will have to be postponed) that I am not confident that I can follow the damned test instructions. I'm rattled.

UPDATED: I did at at home test which has come back negative. I will re-test on Friday.
