Sublime Beautiful Sunday | My Covid-19 Recovery Week

This wasn't what I was expecting to be doing this week or at least on this day but then things happened! So yeah .. I was confirmed Positive on Wednesday morning after getting my PCR test result back from the local hospital. For some reason, my instinct was already telling me that I was but I needed to wait till the 5th day before I could do my test.

You're asking how did it happened ?

Well.. it all started with a simple Lunar New Year dinner with some friends last Thursday. Unfortunately, the following day on Friday, 2 of my friends were confirmed positive due to an earlier contraction from other friends. Upon receiving this news, I immediately did a rapid test on myself (which was -ve) & self isolated myself in my apartment. Everything was fine until last Sunday night when I started to feel the symptoms of sore throat & slight chill. Then in the next few days, more symptoms came up : cough, running nose & an occasional headache.

By Monday night, I knew I had to go do a full PCR test; it's for everyone's safety & also to confirm the reasons of me being unwell. And when I got my results back, I was somewhat relieved with joy - at least I knew why was I unwell! I know it's not something one would be overjoyed with but it's better to know than to be kept in the darkness.

My colleagues & friends were very helpful - some even helped to buy medicine & food. For some reason, I think they were worried that I would faint in my apartment if they didn't checked in on me 😆 One thing for sure was, during the first few days, it was really hard to swallow because of the pain in my throat and this resulted in me just eating porridge and loosing weight which was a good sign! I also realised that my taste buds were rather bland but all is good now. I'm slowly recovering but not yet to my full 100% and whilst many people have told me that the post Covid-19 body resistance just isn't the same as before, I choose to stay positive minded about everything.

Work & Netflix is keeping me sane from boredom and also preoccupied while I'm under self-quarantine for 10 days. I am hoping to recover soon and get back on my feet. Perhaps by next week, I can share more positive news - of me being outdoors already :)

It's Sunday... And it's time for another Beautiful Sunday and Sublime Sunday. So, I'm trying something new this week. Something out of the box, something different, something wild, something odd and who knows where this Sunday will lead us.

#SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a while #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108. Both of whom share similar wonderful thoughts of how Sundays should be for all of us.
