    Thanks, Sly...and everyone!

    Kind of a rough night last night. My temp went up to 102.5, so my wife said, that's it and took me to the hospital. They took all my vitals, etc. Following that, the really nice ER doc told us that the #1 most significant determiner they go by is the blood oxygen test. You know, that little device that clips on the end of your index finger. Mine read a constant 95-96, so he was pleased with that. We have one of those devices here at home. He told us if the reading ever dips into the 80's and stays that way, then get my butt back in there and I'd be admitted and put on oxygen. Anyway, I was in there for all of about an hour. No harm, no foul. They said the high temperature was not to worry and to treat that with alternating Advil and Tylenol. That was around midnight. Came home and went to bed. Cold sweats all night, but it appears the fever broke. I'm down to 97.9 this morning. Feeling MUCH better, which is a little weird because they really didn't don anything at the hospital other than give us some reassurances. Anyway, just gonna take care here over the coming weeks. My wife got tested yesterday, and we should know her results sometime today. Meanwhile, we're practicing the distancing in our home as much as possible, and masks are being worn.

    Again, thanks so much, everyone! You guys are the best! I don't care WHAT MARIS says!!

    Oh, and I quit wearing a gaiter weeks ago. Those things are worthless.

    Wow. Sorry to hear this ABM. Hope you get better soon. Also hope Dame gets better soon. Maybe Dame sooner. But you definitely soon too. I just need my Dame to get better very quickly, like right now. I would like you to get better right now too, but I know it will take a little time and I hope you are feeling better in a week. That’s a good goal. Also can you please slobber all over an envelope and mail it to the Lakers? Just kidding. Don’t do that. Hang in there. We appreciate the updates. For some people, COVID lasts a short time, for others not so much. I hope you are able to recover in a short time. Go Blazers!

    I predict that you'll pull through, because you have no underlying condition other than this message board.

    The only way she'll let you is if she's weak and feverish is a strange admission.

    Can I ask are they doing a contact search at all. Where are you located?
    The reason I’m asking is I teach. I see the same students for a month at a time. If someone comes up positive we have a log and we have to show we have been taking temps every day. Part of the contact tracing protocol. Wondering how far they actually take that?

    It's Tennessee so they probably only do eyeglass searching.
