So Mr P tested positive for covid today, but via some miracle or misadventure all the rest of us have tested negative. Thank goodness, as Miniest was at a party earlier and if she'd tested positive I'd have had to contact the parents π¬Now he is quarantined in his room moaning and demanding things lol.
Oh that's no fun β poor thing ππ·
I remember a couple of months back when my partner had covid, it was a logistical nightmare.
She got the bedroom, I got the living room and slept on the couch.
We both wore masks if we had to be in the same room for any reason.
And then one day I gave her a bowl of soup and she managed to spill it all over the bed. (Thank heaven for mattress protectors!)
Making the bed while wearing gloves and a mask is not an experience I'm keen to repeat anytime soon!
The good news is she started getting better after a week or so. And had completely recovered after a month.
She first noticed her sense of smell was returning while walking past some smokers in front of Woolies.
"Do you smell that? Wait β I can smell that! I can smell the smokers!" I don't think I've ever seen a nonsmoker so overjoyed at the smell of cigarette smoke! π
Anyway wishing Mr Peeler a speedy recovery. Yeah, it'll be tough, but hopefully he'll be feeling better in a week or two. Take care ππ«
Hubs lost his sense of smell and taste both times with covid - the one time I caught it i didn't. He's still scuntch about it.
My partner seriously freaked out when she lost her sense of taste and smell. But thankfully it returned (allbeit slowly) over the following weeks.
