It caught up with us

I’m sitting in my bed
Across the room from my husband
Crying
Panic coursing through my bones
Trying to breath
We were so careful
Masks, sanitising
But the inevitable
Body aches
Fever
My husband tested positive
How were we to know
An employee never told
He came to work with COVID
It’s all a moot point now
We were together
My husband and I
Before we knew
The monster has entered our well shielded home
Now I fear for our lives
The stories
All around us
Will that be me? Will that be out home??
No where to turn
In our little Brooklyn hole
No where to run
No where to breath
But to stay home
With our dread
And daven
That my Husband , kids and I
And the little one growing in me
Stay healthy and sane....
And all along I cry.....

Take a deep breath and say ein od milvado. Just believe and trust in Hashem. IyH all should go well and even if you test positive too it should be very mild.

Most people get through just fine. I was sick for 3 days of flu-like symptoms. And once you're through, you can test and see if you have antibodies, and you'll be glad it's behind you. (yes, there are reinfections, but not so common.)
Refuah shleima!

YOU WILL NOT DIE. You might get sick but it’s something you will be able to handle. No one wants to get sick. It’s uncomfortable and inconvenient. It passes. It really does. Most people survive this virus. Especially now. If a person is feeling unwell there are medications readily available. They weren’t available 9 months ago. Be thankful there is a treatment plan now if you need it.
You have now joined the world of people who hopefully have antibodies. It will protect you for a long while so you no longer have to live in fear.

Please don't panic yet. I just had it a few weeks ago, none of my kids caught it and I was 20 weeks pregnant. BH it was nothing bad at all, just a bad cough and being extra tired and losing my sense of smell. I have had the flu while pregnant and this was incomparably better.

Talk to your ob because she/he might want you on blood thinners.

I take already baby aspirin for other reasons but I will. Thank you

You’ll be fine. Unless there some high risk that your not telling us about...
Do you panic every time you get in to a car?

The vast majority of people come through it just fine. Statistics are on your side. You may very well never even have any symptoms.

Here's to your continued good health Cheers

Be well.

Pregnancy is high risk. She said she’s pregnant in her op. She’ll probably be fine, anyway, since most high risk people are. No need for the panic.
