Still Feeling Lousy

I'm feeling slightly better than yesterday but I still feel quite lousy.  I'm feeling lousy enough that I am dreading going outside to remove snow from the roof and driveway.  I'm still exhausted and my joints ache.  My breathing isn't bad but my head is all congested and I'm coughing up phlegm so I'm still expecting to have some breathing problems when I'm doing something physical like working outside.  We'll see how my breathing really is later today when I do head outside to move snow.  I'm definitely not looking forward to it though.  Just the thought of heading out there is making me more exhausted.

I had a fever last night before we headed to bed.  I was fever-free all day and was hoping that the fevers were finally behind me but apparently not.  So far, today, I'm fever-free so that is good.

What isn't helping any is the fact that I am still vividly remembering trying to move snow while sick with COVID in past winters.  Saying it was brutal is an understatement.



UPDATE:  Bedtime - I had to head outside around 4pm to remove snow from the roof, the driveway, the mailbox, and back to the fuel tanks...  that was painful.  My right knee is killing me.  I think that is the same knee that had me on crutches a few years ago as a result of COVID joint inflammation.  

My fever is back again.  The fever seems to return every night.  This is very much the same as my previous bouts with COVID.  One time, this continued for about five months!  That was before the vaccines were available though and we are now fully vaccinated and boosted so I hope things will be more mild this time and not last nearly as long.  

My sinuses are hurting so the sinus infection is still pretty prevalent.  I'm still blowing opaque white mucus out of my nose.  

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
