Hello Cuties, well for years now we have avoided catching Covid, until now. Last Thursday night hubby got a sore throat, cough and fever. He ran fever Friday too, me thinking it was strep throat since he said it hurt to even swallow. So I made a soup that day and hoped whatever he had I didn’t get too. However, after dark I started with the same symptoms. His fever ended Friday night but my lasted until Sunday during the night. Monday we both got up feeling better, but he wanted me to go to our doctor. I told him only if he were seen too, so we both went, still thinking it was probably strep. Dr tested us for flu and Covid and was positive for Covid. He listened to our lungs and cautioned us if we developed any shortness of breath, don’t hesitate to call back. We all were concerned about me ever getting it because of having previous pneumonia and my autoimmune disease. Our meds run out today, so I hope we will be ok once we are out. Hubby seems like he was never sick. I am a little slower bouncing back but am lots better.
I naturally haven’t done any embroidery or sewing, but I did draw up a fish pattern, for a sewing member. A few ladies found a group that needed quilts for their camp beds, so we will be quilting for those. Children are age 6-12. I have that to start on, a baby taggie for my grand-daughter-in-law’s first niece, and 3 quilts of valor to make.I need to get Lanie’s gift in the mail for her to get it in time but will wait until I have no more symptoms. I just have a cough left and it’s not all the time. Maybe another week and I will be on the up & up.
Hope all of you are well and good. Keep embroidering and sewing. If you have any ideas for quilts for these children, I’m all eyes and ears! ❤️Toogie

I’m sosorry you managed to catch covid. You are correct. It is milder now than when it first was released. And getting out in the sunshine is the best thing we can do. We need to keep up our Vit D levels to avoid any viruses. Keep resting when you need to and soon you will be catching up on all those projects on your long list.

Thanks Jan, I managed some sewing today. I finished Sibby’s taggie ( in Projects), cooked lunch, put binding on two Quilt of Valor quilts and labels,but best of all WASHED MY HAIR-lol
59631Toogie, so sorry to hear this. We were told we were exposed to it while my husband was in the hospital in January. We self-isolated, and tested negative. However, our daughter did catch it, and it is the 3rd time that she has had it. Just take it easy, and don't rush things. She has been left with issues that will probably be with her the rest of her life. She is also a critical care respiratory therapist, and has been exposed multiple times at the hospital. And, as you said, one day at a time. Cyber hugs

I think Covid was so much worse when it first hit the states than it is around here now. I know it’s been bad on your daughter and my sisters, and they got it early. Recent cases have been like a bad sinus infection or no more than a bad cold. It was so good to feel the sun even though it’s 55 degrees today. I told my husband I was opening up all the windows in the house bc the wind is 17 mph today. I told him while the house aired out we could take a leisurely drive around the country. We were gone about an hour, but even though it was cold in the house when we returned, the sunshine, while riding, felt so good.

I actually feel fairly well, thank you. I did get weak yesterday but today got outside in the sunshine and it’s amazing what the sun ( and the son) can do for you.

Thank you for the prayers for healing. We are having 70 something degrees a couple days, then in the 40’s, then back nearly 80, so no reason so many are sick with the flu or Covid. Today it’s cold again.🙄
5277Happy to hear you are both on the mend. Be sure to take it easy until you are completely over it. Hugs. Nan

I guess I’ll have to take it easy. Usually I can push on through even though I might be tired. This morning I couldn’t because I felt weak. Guess it might have hit me harder than I thought, although I’ve been doing the wash, changing the bed clothes, etc.
11927Well congratulations that you have avoided Covid for so long but sorry to hear it caught up with you. I am not sure what the procedures are with it in the UK now. Seems to affect us all differently. Glad to hear your both on the mend and I am sure you have been attempting to plan your next lot of sewing while you have been ill. Take care

It seems like you say, to affect us all differently and I think it sometimes isn’t as bad as when it first came out. My sisters got hit in the early onset and was rougher on them. Our meds ran out last night so we will see how today goes. I cut up a cabbage and put some ground meat to cook this morning and I told hubby , I didn’t know if it was my legs felt weak or I felt weak but I had to sit down. I sure don’t need another fall, especially while trying to get well.
Anyway, I am always planning a next project. I forgot to say I have 2 quilts to trim, bind and hem and also make pillowcases and labels for. When I came in from my last meeting it was raining so I left everything in the car. Hubby just brought them in a day or two ago, when I remembered about them. So that’s added to my to do list.
