Yes, Covid is a real sneaky little so and so, I had it full on before the 1st lockdown. Caught it from work, was like a nagging cold for a week or so and then BANG! Full on, lungs bubbling and rattling, hardest coughing fits imaginable, fatigue and fevers. I still have nightmares about it every now and then. Like being buried alive. It was before they said it was an issue here in the UK, I didn't think it was the cove, but I still almost called 999 as it felt like pneumonia. But I turned a corner and didn't call .. I was at a point where I was scared to sleep. Got back to work to find a colleague's son had had same symptoms, poor thing didn't survive. A few weeks later, they said it was here and that we should all work from home. But it had been here for a while down in London, it just hadn't got into big numbers yet. People weren't recognising the first few cases for what they were and there were no tests. My lungs didn't fully recover for a year. I realised afterwards .. holy poop that was probably Covid!
Glad you're resting and that your BGs are good. The vaccine and boosters at least give us a lot less chance of severe symptoms if we do get it. My daughter and I still wear our masks everywhere, just to be on the safe side.
My BGs are going up a bit. I think it may be due to being put on statins, the low carb diet had sent my LDL levels up, and statins can raise the BGs. Will see how it goes after a month and then see if they can be switched to a different statin if the BGs are too high, or if I mix up the macro ratios a little to get a better all around result. Never easy and straightforward, but I'll do whatever can be done to get the optimal result. It is still better than where I was last year. So I'm going to focus on that and making it better.
Yes I miss the old club, it was a bit more sociable and had more of a mix of people. This one is a bit more serious, more MMA. It is OK though. But I'll wait for my knee to heal before going back.
Hope your daughter had fun at the run in Dudley! .. just up the road from us here.
Take care .. have a great, restful weekend!
