Day 5 to 8 of 10

I have been feeling well. No more coughs, clogged nose and nasal sinus pain. There are still body pains though maybe it is just because of being cooped up here inside the room for a while. Excited to go out and stretch but with still caution though as there is still surge of the Omicron variant around our area. I will try to get a schedule for my booster to get more protected.

My husband made me some leche flan as I requested one. I want to celebrate as I made it halfway of my isolation and also I want to eat something tasty. I also bought some ice cream from cloudkart. My husband put together a dessert with leche flan and ice cream. Woah! It was delicious even though my taste buds had been unreliable since getting positive COVID. I'll try to test my sense of smell tomorrow.

I can already do a 10 minute yoga and also done some stretches. I did some chores today: I did my laundry and tried to clean our room but laziness got me. One day at a time but at least I have done something and I do not want to overdo it.

Day 4 of 10

Cough is still present and still wakes me up at night. I am sleeping all the time maybe because of the medications. Body is not that heavy anymore but there is still pain mostly on cough and accessory muscles. I don’t feel that cold anymore. The “cloggy-ness” of my nose is on and off. I crave for my comfort foods as my taste buds are unreliable. Also, my hypersensitive smelling is not that hypersensitive anymore. I even experimented on it. I tried to smell this tutti fruity shampoo on each nostril. Then I found out that my left nostril has decreased smelling sensitivity. I also tried smelling the banana and my soap. The results are the same. I have decreased smelling on my left nostril. (I just don’t have anything else to do here being cooped up in my room.) I am thinking of ways to amuse myself and be entertained.

Day 3 of 10

Day 3 since getting my positive COVID Test. I am feeling much better, but my clogged left nasal sinus is still there but sometimes I can breathe freely with it. There’s no more runny nose. Dry cough is still there. Body aches and pain still there. I did some stretching and some diaphragmatic breathing exercises. The scratchy and sore throat is slightly better maybe thanks to Bactidol. (Thanks Theara Canete for giving me).

My appetite still present (thanks God) and I am always hungry maybe because of the azithro and all the vitamins. I want to thank Liyang’s Kitchen and Sisig ni Marjo for delivering food as I can’t cook because I am still isolated inside our room.

I have to be isolated here for 10 days. So, seven days more to go!! Let’s go!! Kick this COVID out of here!!
