Hmmm There’s no reason to argue here, but Steve wasn’t in attendance at the plow day. Some may call me an idiot and I’m ok with that, but not in this thread please. Let’s keep positive prayers and vibes for the ones in need 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,711 #27 Posted October 27, 2020 Thank you guys for the prayers...I know they work. I, Chris and Stacy have been avid mask wearers. We also keep a bottle of the soap in the vehicles. Somehow, that nasty stuff got us, but I still believe in wearing a mask and separation. We all have the same symptoms at this point...headache, raspy throat and cough, slight fever 100-101, shortness of breath, ache all over and chills. The raspy throat and shortness of breath is what scares me. Just getting out of bed and you are trying to breath deep. No taste and no smell and nothing sounds good to eat, but that's OK...not hungry anyway. Hot tea with honey and lemon are very soothing. Getting pressure behind the eyes. Sleep one of two hours at a time. I pray none of you catch this. 3 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sleep one of two hours at a time. I pray none of you catch this. I was very concerned at first but now that I know you can at least crawl out of bed and type a bit I feel much better. I wish you the same, to "feel much better" real soon! But don't be a tough guy and do this on your own! You two should get to a doctor, especially if your hot tea and honey ain't doing the job! Don't do this on your own if you get worse! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,312 #29 Posted October 27, 2020 Good grief! I don’t visit RS for a few days and when I get on I see this news. I hope the three of you get over it as soon as possible. Your symptoms sound exactly like the ones I had....no fun at all. Get well and keep your Red Square family informed on how you all are doing. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh500special 2,162 #30 Posted October 28, 2020 Well shoot, Steve. This sucks. Best wishes on getting through it for you and yours. So far, we've been personally lucky at my end of the state but we still aren't taking anything for granted. I know that you were taking this seriously and following the protocols so it's a good reminder to the rest of us not to let our impatience trump our vigilance. Rest up!

There is something else going on here that nobody understands yet. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,711 #37 Posted November 2, 2020 Chris and Stacy seem to be doing great. Me...I am still like no change. I had a sliced apple and some tea for dinner last night. I finished what was left for breakfast this morning. I've been bundled up under the covers day and night since last Monday just trying to get rid of the chills. Sleeping 20+ hours a day is no problem. Still flirting with fever and cough. I felt better this morning, so I came down to the Man Cave, but I can see I'm going to go back to bed. BTW, the whole family voted. Take care you guys. 4 7 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
