Day three was scary

I know this sounds dramatic, but on day three of my symptoms, I felt so terrible that I kept saying to my husband, “I don’t know how I’m alive. I don’t know how the human body can feel like this and still be alive.” Every ounce of energy had left my body. It had gotten to the point where brushing my teeth twice a day and showering was out of the question. At that point, simply turning over in bed would take every ounce of energy I had. No exaggeration: rolling over to sleep on my right side instead of my left would leave me panting. I really felt that if I were one ounce sicker, or lost one more ounce of energy, I wasn’t going to make it. I didn’t understand how my body could go on like that.
