lizbee: A sketch of myself (Default)

So first of all, if you have a choice about getting covid while already dealing with a broken ankle, I recommend not doing that.

But if you're going to ignore step one, I suggest not going from "I feel a bit tired and rundown" to "I am highly symptomatic and dying" overnight while interstate on a work trip.

For the record, I did a test before I flew home and it was negative, and I was fully be-masked at all times. I thought I just had a mild cold until I re-tested a few hours later when I arrived home. (New conspiracy theory: airport covid tests always come up negative to prevent panic.)

This all happened a month ago; I was only sick for a few days -- highly rate the XBB1.55 vaccine -- and honestly, the extra rest was probably good for my ankle, which is recovering nicely. The main effect has been a flare-up of all my arthritis and general inflammatory issues, so I'm on steroids and steadily eating my way through the universe like a Very Hungry Caterpillar. Suffice to say I've been too busy feeling sorry for myself to keep Dreamwidth updated. But! I've been working very hard on the exercises I was given in physiotherapy, and I can now stand on my bad foot for 30 seconds without falling over!

I've also been maintaining a normal baseline level of obsession with Star Trek: Discovery in its final season, and thinking about Callum Keith Rennie's character like it's my full-time job. If you are in fandom long enough, a CKR character will be assigned to you. I'm not quite ready to start a BSG rewatch, but that's in part because I started watching SVU when I was sick, and I've got, like, 25 seasons of that ahead of me.
