Went for a walk with my mate. 5.5 miles. Something wasn’t *quite* right, was slightly breathless going up the hills. Put it down to having a large breakfast and not having a decent walk for a couple of weeks. Got home and decided not to have a roast as I 1/10
felt a little queasy. Mild nausea passed after an hour or two.

Woke up with what felt like the start of a cold. Sore throat, slight cough. Went away by mid-morning. Slight productive cough for the rest of the day. Maybe once or twice for the day.

Sardines for breakfast. Tasted nice but didn’t notice at the time that the taste of them was slightly reduced. Coughed once or twice throughout the day. Productive. 3/10

Spoke to my manager about my mild, very infrequent, productive cough and asked if I was being paranoid. She said to get a test just as a precaution. Booked a test online for 11:00. Test wasn’t too bad. Did it myself. Worst part was brushing my tonsils. 4/10

Woke up at half five and checked my phone. Positive. Was extremely surprised. Still felt fine. Was worried about the Mrs but she’s been vaccinated. Offered to stay at the in-laws (empty) but she said not to be so stupid.
Productive cough once or twice. 5/10

Sense of smell reduced but not gone. Can still smell all the spices. Cough still productive. Sore head . Taking paracetamol but can just feel it under the medicine. Still feeling optimistic. 6/10

Uh-oh. Cough just went dry and unproductive. Can feel it going into my lungs. Breathing not so good. Called NHS24 who put my mind at rest. Can still feel it in my lungs but think I might’ve had a panic attack. More symptoms, ringing in ears. 7/10

Cough now productive again and I feel like I’m ‘bringing it up’. Actually feel like there’s something wrong with me today. Still no temperature or fever. Never did have one. Feel like I’ve got a virus. Really bad viral conjunctivitis. Eyes very red, vessels 8/10
engorged like I’ve never seen and eyes glazed. Zombie eyes.

Feeling better. Still chesty but cough is productive. Cautiously relieved that I won’t get pneumonia but aware many covid patients relapse at this time. Eyes look horrendous.

Eyes a bit better. Still red and glazed but vessels not as engorged and less redness. Still chesty but feel I can live with it ok. More optimistic I’m over it. 10/10
