Day five of housebound Hell.

Covid is the gift that keeps on giving.

Today?

Brain fog.

I put the scissors in the refrigerator and my reading glasses in the cutlery drawer.

I poured cereal in the cat’s dry food bowl.

I’m not concentrating well and can’t seem to focus.

WTH!

Anyone else experience similar Covid weirdness?

  3. Holy cow, not everyone gets the brain fog. I didn’t get it, but my son who lives with me got COVID because he was taking care of me while self isolated in my room. He got brain fog, he put something to heat in the microwave and forgot about it for four hours, he got sore throat, I didn’t. I got fever and chills, he didn’t, he got body aches, I didn’t. It’s a toss of the coin with this horrible virus. I hope you and the hubs get well soon.

  4. I’m so so sorry to hear all of this. I know it helps not one bit for me to say this has been me, several times now. And Tracy, too, when he also thought he might be immune, somehow. It’s a sick sicker than I’ve ever been. I’m glad you’re at least out of bed for a bit at this point. Keep up the good work of breathing and sleeping.

  5. Thankfully I have no personal experience with Covid but I am very familiar with brain fog – one must regard it as comic relief – at least in the examples you gave. The inability to concentrate tho is annoying and frustrating – this I still have (bereavement brain as I call it) I have to make a concerted effort to, well, concentrate,

  6. At the time, I described “emotional stew”. “Another aspect of the emotional roller coaster is that when I saw this ‘Ode to Joy’ video Sunday morning, tears were streaming down my face the whole time, though I’ve seen it before. I guess this experience isn’t all bad.” “Yeah, I feel sorry for myself. Yeah, I’ll survive this…at least I plan to.”

    As for brain fog, I wrote “I asked what time dinner was last night, though I know that the tour does not provide dinner on Saturdays.” Martha may have something to say about th efog.

    So one solace is that, having this blog, you’ll be able to look back and remember what it was like even if you forget.

  12. I hope you get well soon. I had covid in early August and I was vaccinated. The ‘new milder form’ of covid still knew I had lung issues and went straight for the lungs. It put me in the hospital for several days. Anyway you look at it not a fun experience.
