My Week Battling COVID 🛌💐🎧

This week has been all about rest, recovery, and small moments of comfort while dealing with COVID. Here's what has been keeping me going:

✨ Self-Care Essentials

Lots of Sleep: Truly the best medicine.

Hydration: My trusty Stanley cup has been my constant companion, keeping me hydrated around the clock.

Medications: Mucinex and throat lozenges to soothe the symptoms.

✨ Little Joys

Audiobooks & TikTok: I finally finished Megan Quinn's How my neighbor stole Christmas and dived into Ali Hazelwood's Cruel Winter With You. And of course scrolling through TikTok when I’m too tired to focus.

Flowers from My Husband: This bouquet has brought so much cheer to my recovery space.

✨ What I’m Grateful For

Even during this tough time, I’m grateful for my support system, small comforts, and the hope of feeling better soon.

If you're recovering from COVID, take it easy on yourself and give your body the time it needs to heal. Sending love and strength to anyone else going through this!

As the world continues to battle COVID-19, understanding the importance of recovery becomes crucial. Rest is vital; it allows the body to heal and regain strength. Keeping hydrated is another key element for recovery, as dehydration can worsen symptoms. Have your go-to beverages, like water or herbal teas, ready at hand. Medications, such as Mucinex and throat lozenges, can relieve common symptoms and make the recovery process smoother. Exploring small joys, like audiobooks or light entertainment through platforms like TikTok, can help keep the spirit up during recovery. As discussed, reading engaging stories by authors like Megan Quinn and Ali Hazelwood is a productive way to distract the mind from discomfort. Additionally, the emotional uplift from receiving thoughtful gestures, such as flowers, can significantly enhance mood. Expressing gratitude for one's support system, even amidst illness, is essential. It fosters a positive mindset, which can help speed up the healing process. For those recovering from COVID, it's crucial to listen to your body and allow ample time for healing, while also embracing the support from loved ones to navigate this challenging journey.

What me and my son have been dealing with for the last week. 3rd time having it and this time was different. It was horrendous. Maybe because 2 weeks before testing positive we had the flu. Either way we tested negative today but still have cold symptoms and a horrible cough. #Covid19

I had summer covid

July was the worst… after July 4th I got covid and while I couldn’t tell you where exactly I picked it up, my bet is on a Sephora I supported as a vendor because 3 days after I was there it started. First I felt like it was allergies and I tried allergy medication but the next day my throat was

My body was shutting down…

I’ll never forget how sick I was at military camp. Head pounding, throwing up green goo, barely able to stand… and still being forced through PT. The nurse refused to test me for COVID, and I spent a week feeling invisible until I finally went home and got the right care. It made me realize how
