10. Oh, I am recovering from my first ever Covid attack

and it has been hell! I came down with it hard - in bed for 2 weeks before finally testing negative. Another 10 days and I am still barely functional. Weird issues with walking and utterly slow motioned brain speed. Yikes, good to know that one does not need to wait the three months to get the updated vaccine.

My doctor had advised waiting for this new vaccine as I have had all of the previous ones.

Everyone claimed that this version going around was more mild. If that is true, I guess I would have been hospitalized with a previous version! I am at maybe 1/10 th normal capacity at nearly the 4 week mark. A younger neighbor who is also a farmer has had Covid three times ( up to date with vaccines), and he said this one was worse than previous ones. Maybe it is different enough to evade previous immunities?

Thanks for the useful info! Sorry to share too much information!
