On her lips, taste of bitter, her hands bitten by frost

Per the doctor I saw this morning, I have the full tickybox of symptoms of a horrendous virus which is making the rounds; it comes with lung-clogging mucus, massive exhaustion, and brain fog; it is neither COVID-19 nor RSV and could last for upwards of a month. Presumably it is the source of my exacerbated asthma, but is a nasty customer in its own right. Everything I could do for it, I am already doing. Eventually I will get my normal volume of air back and the ability not to feel like someone wiped off my brain. In the meantime, whoopee.

Ugh, oh NO! I'm glad for the good parts of the diagnosis but the rest is miserable. Good luck for a swift and easy recovery.

(And let us know if we can drop anything off for you? Meds or soup or groceries or whatever might be useful?)

Good luck for a swift and easy recovery.

Thank you. What fresh hell.

(Will contemplate the offer: thank you also.)
