So as I mentioned I initially treated the news coming of china and some people's reactions as "Chicken Little" nonsense. I still paid attention as the virus began to pop up in the US. When the recommendation to wear masks came about I dug out an N95 from our painting supplies and wore it to work. I was told I would face disciplinary action if I continued to wear it as it might "Frighten" the patients. This went on for a week or with our administration announcing daily that there was no cause for alarm as long as we were washing our hands frequently.
Suddenly at the beginning of last week the mask mandate came down from the front. Now we were to face disciplinary action if we weren't wearing gloves and masks for patient contact.
I have done everything correctly and still two night ago I woke up with a bad cough and temp of 100.1. I went to work anyway as it's much better to be sent home than to call off especially on a weekend, They held me at the door while they supposedly notified Infection Control and cleared me to work with a mask on. They did not say anything to the weekend supervisor.
So Monday I called my primary physician and he put me on home quarantine except for a drive through test with results to come in 24 to 48 hours. In the meantime I am on home quarantine self isolated in the living room away from my husband and son. My son is a hugger and really wants to hug me but no can do. I am trying to make the best of it by doing a bit of Spring cleaning but I get fatigued easily and have to rest often.
Praying to Odin, Thor and Freya for negative results
