I Got Covid: My Personal Experience

Yes, you read it right. A few months ago, I tested positive for Covid-19 and I want to share with everyone the experience and how it changed my views on life.

Still cannot forget that day, August 9, 2021. It was a Monday morning. I woke up feverish, with no sign of fever yet. But later that day, I felt a little off but shove it away thinking it's probably just because of the weather. I took medicine for a fever and sleep for my work the following day but I called in sick and told my manager I was not feeling well. Our company allows me to be rested for 3 days. Isolated in my room, our office clinic called me to get a Covid swab test.

After a few calls, I finally got a schedule for a swab test. I already had a feeling of what would be the result because my fever was not going down.

August 14, 2021. I got an email with my swab result and came POSITIVE. I stared at my monitor for a good 2-3 minutes, reading every word to make sure I was reading it right.

I followed protocol by calling our local front liner and came that night. They did their process and cordoned off in my room. Since I am living alone here, they allow me to stay home isolated. They left me with numbers to call whenever I needed anything and most especially if my condition worsened.

That night seeing that yellow ribbon in my door, I felt alone. That was when everything sunk in. I cried so much with my dog was going crazy because she hates it when I cry. I could not believe it had happened to me.

Thankfully, my fiancée was always on Skype checking on me. My family at home in Mindanao was so worried that I needed to answer my phone right away or else they would think something would happen.

I received so many messages from my friends. They kept on checking if I was okay. It felt so much better talking to them and receiving a lot of prayers for me to get better.

I got all the symptoms from a mild covid-positive patient. I lost my taste, smell, full-body malaise and cough.

This experience made me realize how unknown tomorrow is. You will never know what will happen in the next minute. I am beginning to value my life more and be more focused on my health. I got this line from a series I got to watch, “The best gift you can give to your children is to be healthy”. This line made so much sense as I am a mother and I want to be with my daughter for every milestone she will have.

I am still lucky to only have mild symptoms. I could not even imagine the people who would have suffered more in this pandemic. We are now seeing a little light from this tunnel. Hopefully, everything will be okay and normal soon.

Thank you so much for spending time in reading this blog. Stay safe always. Love😘

OMG, that was such a horrible situation to be in. Good thing you recovered and had only mild symptoms.

Glad to hear that you're all better now. I've also tested for Covid for quite some time now, and I have to say that the worst enemy there is definitely loneliness. Glad to hear that your dog was there to keep you company.
