Wednesday

on Sunday but first felt a little tickle in my throat Friday morning. Mostly a sore throat, cough and headache. The wife made go to urgent care. After a 2 1/2 wait in the parking lot, doctor gave me a prescription of Paxlovid. It must have worked as I feel 100% today.
I did miss Christmas Eve dinner with the kids and grandkids but ‘safety first. Get well
