BACK FROM THE COVID BRINK (Patreon)
Content
Well... the last 10 days have been eventful/awful... but Sanja and I seem to be through the worst of it at last.
As I said over on Twitter, Covid is far more brutal and debilitating than either of us anticipated. It's far, far from just being flu. I don't quite have the stamina right now to find the words to describe it, but suffice to say you can see quite easily how people have died from it. It feels dangerous. Like it could just take a turn, and consume you. So not only is there the physical side of it, but the psychological impact too; the worry about where it's going to end up.
...As well as all the weird fever-dream anxiety I started having in the middle of it all about the Digi Channel and Digi Live...! But that's for another time...
Right now, I'm about 24 hours on from my fever breaking after 9 relentless days, and my breathing remains difficult, if I do much more than lay on the bed. Sanja's still coughing her guts up.
We did even call an ambulance one morning, when Sanja's breathing was particularly bad, but they checked her out, and as awful as it was... nope... we just had the regular old 'mild' Covid. Which is terrifying.
So anyway... that's it for now. I'll be back with some more news later this week, but thought I'd check in and let you all know that we're still alive; battered and traumatised, but alive. Thanks for sticking with us, gang.
