Update

 Still not well.  Better but don’t feel like I have fully recovered.  Haven’t retested yet, don’t expect it to be negative — it feels like it has been weeks yet it has only been days.  Haven’t run fever for several days, never went to bed, got up and dressed each day and functioned to a point but this is really awful because you just dont know.

I have been doing research about when it is safe to resume activities regardless of how you feel and all I find are articles on how to keep from spreading it which is fine — I get the five day thing and the ten day thing but when I don’t get is if you can still test positive for up to 90 days after an infection when is it safe for YOU to resume normal life?  Seems a bit one sided to me.

We needed groceries.  I ordered groceries for delivery.  I have ordered for pickup before but never for delivery.  It is an adventure. I am trying to adapt to these new normal situations we find ourselves in and I am fairly flexible especially when it allows me to have somebody else grocery shop for me — not my favorite activity.  So, groceries should arrive at my door between now and 3:02 pm.  I have high hopes — maybe foolishly.

I have also been doing a lot of reading and tv bingeing while I am “resting” and “taking it easy” aka losing my mind and I have stumbled across a Netflix series with Jack Whitehall called Travels with My Father.  He and his father, Michael, are having traveling adventures and it is hilarious.  Check it out if you find yourself resting and taking it easy for any reason at all.

Ok, so the weather here has turned nasty — cold and wet — so I am off to entertain myself somehow.  I think today I might be able to focus enough to do some cross stitch.  Has anybody got any idea how absolutely bloody boring “resting” and “taking it easy” is?  

Sorry, just a bit grumpy.

Information on when you can resume your normal activities must surely depend on how much energy you have. Don't push yourself. Good thing you're finding interesting things to keep you occupied on the internet. Hope you feel better soon.

 Yes, it has been a month — and what a month it has been.  Long story short all the grafts from my husbands bypass surgery have disappeared ...
