sister has very faint COVID test line

[tielan]

This is the sister who's already had COVID back in May. She discovered it tonight when she took a RAT with the intention of attending a potluck dinner...and found a very faint COVID line.

Oh dear.

I've been feeling a little under the weather in the last week - headaches and tiredness - which I mostly attributed to the 4th shot. However, this afternoon on the way home from a permaculture course...I decided to go for a PCR instead of going to church.

One problem is that we had dinner with the parentals last night. I spent the first third of the night making dumplings for everyone, and the last half of the night chatting with mum one on one in close quarters. I do NOT want to have given her COVID - she's still in recovery from a number of surgeries in the last year (they're all happening at once, and her body is barely coping) and I'm scared for her. Also, of having to deal with my stepfather if anything happens to her. Last night's sudden bout of insomnia was brought to you by all the negativity he stirred up.

Another problem is that I attended a course today, indoors, I was masked for most of the course, but I took it off to eat and drink.

Additionally, this afternoon someone scammed my mother into sending money to an account. She got a whatsapp message that said I'd dropped my phone in water and needed money for a new one. Luckily for her, the bank spotted the behaviour and froze her account (maybe it has had warnings about this kind of behaviour before). She didn't think about trying to call my phone to check, or of calling the sisters (why would I call her first?), or of the fact that if I was going to ask for money I would call her not just message her. So now she's also feeling sad and stupid because she got scammed, even if they didn't get the money.

I have hockey tomorrow, two games, and I have done one single exercise session in the last month at most. Obviously I won't be playing if I test positive. UGH.

I also have work in the middle of the day. With a high chance of something going wrong. DOUBLE UGH.

Just needed somewhere to vent, and now I'm going to try to write. High emphasis on try.

oh no what a nightmare!!! crossing fingers for your PCR :|

[tielan]

Negative. Somewhat unbelievably seeing as my throat feels like half the Nullarbor is in there. *sigh*

Either I am immune to COVID, or I am the deceiver of all PCRs ever.

[velithya]

good news!! I hope you can isolate enough from Sister that you can continue to be negative *crosses fingers*

Negative for both of us! But masking up will definitely be happening at tonight's meeting.

SO glad that your mom's bank caught that transaction! My friend's parents got scammed out of a LOT of money a couple of years ago - and it was NOT money that they could afford to lose :(

Hopefully you are feeling more the thing soon!

[tielan]

Oh, no!

Yeah, the banks are fairly cluey here. Which is definitely a good thing.

I'm feeling better yesterday and today. We'll see how I feel for the rest of the week when the weather is set to turn wet again. *sigh*

Negative! Could definitely do with some extra sleep, though...

[eggsbenedict]

Oh no on all counts :( Hope your test results come back quickly.

We have a really fast local PCR place: 4.5 hours, I was negative. Sister went 8am Sunday and had results by 3pm: negative.

Still, it's all a headache and a half right now.
