I had COVID19 in October and the internet is right, the second time around is worse.
On Tuesday I went to get tested before seeing my mom and that morning my roommate had a fever. She tested positive and I negative for COVID19. The ODU COVID Cares team started calling us and was so sad when my 90 day period ended in January.
Despite suddenly starting self isolation, Wednesday night my symptoms started and by Thursday they were in full swing. On Friday my fever was so high I could hardly move. I tested positive at student health and passed out twice while in the office. They let me go home and not to the hospital since my originally positive roommate could monitor me physically.
On Wednesday when I knew I was going to have to quarantine for 14 days I was brainstorming how to do any photography work. My project, like most of ours, requires leaving the house to be in public places. I wanted to keep working on my photography and came up with the idea of taking pictures about the quarantine life. I quickly realized that this would really just be me laying in different places in my room- the floor, the bed, the bathroom.
Since Thursday photography has no longer been possible because of how sick I have been. Even sitting up or moving from laying in one place to another has been difficult. Here are the images from those first two days and then the thermometer from Thursday.
It's been hard to read or focus so the chapter reflection will come later this week.
Last time symptoms day 5 was a turning point so I'm hoping it will be this time as well.
I am so sorry about this. You have had a very tough year. I like your covid photo's. Hang in there and what gets done will get done.
