I’m so sad.
So I went to Las Vegas this past weekend to see the Silk Sonic show which was the best show ever. Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak and the Hooligans (Bruno’s band) are phenomenal. My friend and I ate good food, we got massages, we gambled a little and then flew back home. But on the flight home, I felt a tickle in my throat. I thought it was just my allergies because I was dealing with that all weekend in Vegas. I went from humid Hawaii air to very dry Nevada air and my body was dealing with it but way better than my friend who was congested all weekend in the dry air.
Anyway, an hour prior to landing my nose started running. Again, I thought it was just the dry airplane air. There were lots of people coughing and sneezing but I wore my mask on both flights, and in Vegas (my friend and I were the rare ones that wore masks lol) – of course we removed it to eat and that was it, covid got me! I came home Sunday night, took a test real quick and it said it was negative 15 minutes later. So I thought it was okay to hug my daughter and she wanted me to sleep next to her so I did. I woke up at 3am coughing and went to the bathroom and the test that said I was negative had a strange crooked line 2nd line. I was like oh no….so I quickly took another test and that showed up positive right away. I felt horrible for exposing my daughter.
And I feel even WORSE because it was my husband’s birthday yesterday and he had to take care of me. I can’t hug my kids and my daughter was acting up because she wanted to be next to me. And to top if off…we were supposed to fly to NYC today and drive down to Philadelphia. But I can’t fly and I’ve exposed my family. I know my hubby is upset – he was supposed to be in his friend’s wedding on Sunday, he had plans to go to a Phillies baseball game, we had so many plans. He was so looking forward to this trip, the kids too. 🥺 They haven’t been showing symptoms yet and I hope they never do. But I feel like this is all my fault. Of course we could have flown to NYC and caught covid and spent the time in Philadelphia recovering also…but still, I feel SO bad. 😭
As for me – I slept the whole day on Monday. I was exhausted from flying and my symptoms and just couldn’t do much. I had no fever, but I had chills and some body ache (I couldn’t tell because I was already achy from flying!). Tuesday my head felt clearer and now I’m just coughing up stuff but I have more energy. Many people told me their worse day was day 3 and yesterday was day 3 for me so I hope this means I’ll be good soon. 🙏🏼 I think I caught it on the plane ride from Hawaii to Vegas. Hawaii has a covid surge right now and half the people on the plane wasn’t wearing masks. My symptoms showed up 2 days later.
I think my hubby said he will be rescheduling the trip – I just don’t know when. But I wish Covid would just go away already. I managed not to catch it for 2 years. I’m glad my symptoms are mild though. So that’s my update – I’m bummed, but I had such a good time in Vegas…it was the mental break I needed!! It just came at the cost of catching covid and ruining the big family trip though. SIGH.
