The quarantine diaries — Day 12

Hello dear reader,

Three sleeps to go!

I woke up this morning feeling quite unwell — my sinus symptoms had worsened overnight.

Of course, waking up with symptoms in quarantine means notifying health authorities and the hotel. The hotel also notified health authorities separately, so I spoke to the health department twice today!

Waking up with symptoms also meant slowing down, and calling my doctor instead of having to drag myself anywhere when feeling unwell. I was able to have a prescription I needed emailed to a pharmacy, then picked up by the hotel concierge. I was looked after whilst keeping others safe.

I didn’t take my fresh air break today so that I didn’t pose a risk to anyone; I also didn’t work so that I could rest.

And here is today’s best news:

My suspicions that my symptoms were sinus-related were right, and I’m very grateful.

‘See’ you tomorrow.
