Covid Update

Added 2025-09-21 20:15:25 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone, keeping you all in the loop on the state of my condition.

I've been mainly sleeping this off, as has Dad. I'm feeling a little better today, but not vastly so.

Did you know that Covid can cause stomach failure? I didn't either. The fancy terminology for this would be 'gastrointestinal autonomic dysfunction' . Not to be too graphic but I tried to eat a meal with fresh spinach leaves, one of the only times I've eaten over the past few days, and ended up essentially bringing it back up undigested. Ever vomited up a flower? That's what it felt like and I can't really recommend it.

So we both are still feeling awful, to put it lightly. Me and Dad are away for two weeks on Friday too and I haven't gotten nearly all of the work sorted that I'd wanted due to this hiccup. I'm hoping tomorrow is a better day but symptoms seems to worsen and ease off for no discernible reason on a daily basis. We're both on flu tablets and taking multivitamin supplements mainly for vitamin D, as it's supposed to be a Covid killer. I'd sacrifice a pig to the elder gods if it meant me and Dad being free of this. It's no hyperbole to say that I honestly think this is the closest brush I've had with death due to a virus. I was seriously worried about Dad finding me dead the next morning a night ago due to the severity of the symptoms I had.

Sorry that there isn't any content just yet, but I thought I'd better tell you all about the progression of things here.
