Once i knew i had COVID i slept 15 hrs got up for 8, slept 12, got up for 2 slept 3... I finally started to feel better about Wednesday but didn't test negative until Friday. The good news is that Sarah managed to avoid it. It sucked to be in the suite with her at last after her trip, and then my trip, but not be able to hang out. We stayed masked and moved around each … [Read more...] about Week 75: Isolation
