Rebound

I started feeling symptoms come back last night and this morning I tested. I’m a mess. I’m so mad. I feel like this is all because I called the doctor. If I hadn’t I wouldn’t have taken paxlovid, wouldn’t have had the horrible side effects, and I wouldn’t be having rebound right now. What should be ending in a few days just started over. I read that if you get a rebound after paxlovid, you have to start the isolation over. Which means I won’t be done with the 10 days until after school has started. I should be past the 5 days of isolation and be allowed to leave with a mask on, so I still plan to go to Meet the Teacher, but I won’t be able to take my daughter to the zoo on Saturday and I won’t be able to take her to get her nails done or get their hair cuts.

I’m having a pity party. I’ve cried a lot today and mostly just binge watched Hot in Cleveland. I just finished the whole series, so I don’t know what I’m going to do for the next week. I need to cancel my lunch plans with the friend I haven’t seen in 3 years. I already rescheduled my surgery follow up appointment. Now I need to figure out what I’m going to do about work.

There’s not much more to report. I’m so ready to be done with this.
