Sammich's Journal

I haven't updated here in a bit. I will say I got a stage one cancer diagnosis this past week and I'm kinda reeling from it still. Kinda anxious and hoping all goes well. It wasn't super unexpected, but it is still a lot to deal with.

I still plan to continue to update on that and just stuff in general on here.

Jammer has had issues with her work ending the bookkeeper position that she had previously worked as and placed her as a usual cashier. It's been a bit of anxiety dealing with that.

Anyway, not much else to report other than just the usual anxieties of the day type of thing.

So a lot of September was spent kinda prepping for a surgery that was to take place at the very start of October. I literally had some ultrasound scans done of my abdomen because I had gallstones and my doc wanted my gallbladder removed. Fast forward to October and the Monday before my surgery my throat is super scratchy and I'm all hot and have sniffles. I tested myself and I was COVID positive.
It's been my first time having Covid. So the first few days were the worst. In and out of consciousness, sweaty, sore muscle aches and a fever. It tapered off and then I started having so much mucus as my body was fighting the viral infection. I felt like I was doing a decent job of self-isolating. Then about 5 days into my illness, Jamie caught it. It's week 3 and I'm feeling like 95% normal now!! I only have a little bit of mucus when I wake up like I have allergies and no coughing or anything. I can eat normally. I'm not fatigued like I used to be.

I have heard that the first infection with COVID is the worst. I hope that's true because I really don't want to experience that again if I can help it. It's lingered so damn long.

Anyway, I've been looking forward to Halloween and watching scary movies with my friend Ollie! I've also been playing spooky games on Twitch which is always fun! I kind of want to make some Halloween foods for the day of!!
