Our COVID Story | Symptoms and Experience - Day 2

This is my COVID 19 experience so far.. I'm in quarantine away from my family waiting for my covid test results to come back. I have a lot of the Covid symptoms so this quarantine story may last another 10 days.

Sweetie, being sick doesn't mean "Oh, I can work now." Please rest and sleep. I'm hoping you have the flu and not Covid, but whatever, let your body be your guide. Glad you have the weighted blanket, those are awesome. Sending prayers and best wishes for your quick recovery.

[@septemberfullwood3782]

Cory needs to be very careful, even with a negative result. I didn't show symptoms/test positive until 5 days after my bf tested positive. Rest up and stay hydrated! We love you all and hope you'll be okay.

[@margaritaescutia5615]

Yes to this!! There are false negatives, so it’s best to wait sometimes a few days to get a more accurate test result or to get tested again

[@nicolegiauque1771]

@@margaritaescutia5615 True that!👍🏻👍🏻

[@Tina2448827]

The kids got the rapid, her and Cory got the longer test done

[@septemberfullwood3782]

@@Tina2448827 I understand that. I tested the day after my bf tested positive and came back negative on that test, started showing symptoms 4 days later and tested positive. We're saying that an initial negative doesn't mean you're in the clear, you have to monitor yourself for a few days after and retest if symptoms appear. This virus goes from family member to family member quickly, so be aware and be cautious.

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

@@septemberfullwood3782 - I would add, that if it were my family, I would test everyone again anyway, because as they are learning from tracking this virus over 10 months is that the majority of people are asymptomatic days before they show symptoms, & some Covid positive people never develop symptoms at all, but still can infect others. I’m just so sorry for Kristen, as I have developed sudden, chronic asthma in the last 4 months so I can sympathize. I’ll pray she gets through the course of this without feeling any worse than she does now, & that Cory & the kids stay healthy.

[@finecallmejane]

The bubblewrap and the socks just melted my heart.

[@mrslaceypeterson]

My husbands old job kept pressuring employees to come back into the office. My husband ended up being exposed to someone who was positive. Thankfully he tested negative..but his work ended up having 11 people test positive. Most of them went and initially had a rapid test done which told them they were negative. Then within 24-48 hours told them they were actually positive. I feel like they need to get rid of the rapid tests all together. I hope your family is safe and healthy and that you have a speedy recovery and get LOTS of rest. Take care. ❤️

[@christophermorin9036]

Exactly Kristin, Cold air is more dense and has a higher oxygen content. It's good for you, may help with your comfort if your fevers get worse, AND if you have the windows open and a fan going, it will be flushing the air through your room and not giving the virus in your breaths a chance to build up and get circulated through the rest of the house. Wishing you the best sweetie.

[@MagnakayViolet]

This reminded me of an western movie where a doctor's wife was arguing with a ranch cook about opening the windows during a flu outbreak in the winter.

[@joelstaub8950]

Please get well soon. I spent time in the hospital a few years ago with pneumonia. I know what it's like to feel like you can't breathe. Listening to you at times brought back some bad, scary memories. I hope for a speedy recovery and that everyone else in your family stays healthy! Be smart and get some rest. Work will be there when you are better.

[@gracemckenzie5485]

That house is the PERFECT quarantine house lol

[@angelarivard8326]

First just accept that you can't do anything but watch movies, color and things that are relaxing, You are healing!!!!! Juice, soup, bouillon, anything that will give you comfort. There is nothing to do but you!!! I actually took a Reiki course, that was helpful! Eating pineapple is super good for your lungs! We are all praying for you!! Loving you so much and as always thanks for sharing! We're all in this together!

[@AprilDavisPI]

My best friend has been ill with it for over 3 weeks. Been treated at the hospital twice. I’m recovering from breast cancer and have one more surgery in February. I’m hoping to stay Covid free. Please rest, stay hydrated and measure your oxygen levels. Take Tylenol if you get a fever. Praying for you and hope Cory and the kids stay healthy. Your sense of taste and smell should return at some point. Nice seeing the second kitchen. Reminds me of Cory’s picture in my kitchen video. One of my favorites!

[@water2wine1]

Wow I’m breathless and tired just watching you. Hope you are well soon.

[@Stefaniamarie88]

Feel Better!!! One thing you might want to try since you said cool air seems to help is sleeping with a cool mist vaporizer/humidifier. I’ve had asthma all my life and it has always helped me breathe whenever I’ve been sick.

[@beachhouseartinsouthwestfl6070]

We just got over it. Still tired 2 weeks out. REST as much as you can, lots of vitamins, fluids! Sure hope you feel better soon!

[@warponealaska]

Feel better soon Kristen! And you guys have the PERFECT setup for quarantining with that beautiful in-law suite! So cool. I love that you have outside access fir fresh air and in case you get a little stir crazy inside. Best wishes for mild symptoms and a quick recovery.

[@birdlovespaint]

I send you all the good vibes! I hope you are all better very soon!

[@coastalcaitlin]

Brain fog Kristen is hilarious. I hope you feel better soon!

[@mdc2296]

When my wife and I had it, we slept. A lot. It's good for you! Prayers for quick recovery!

[@k.theabsoluteheathen8224]

i feel supremely lucky that when i tested positive for covid back in december (my quarantine ended the week of christmas, which was another lucky thing!) that my symptoms were no worse than the mildest of colds in addition to the loss of smell and taste. the cough lingered for a few weeks afterward, but most of our cases up in northern new england have been about what i had. i hope you feel better!! g'bye!!!

[@EJproductionsxD]

Has your taste and sense of smell returned?

[@k.theabsoluteheathen8224]

@@EJproductionsxD yeah - my taste started to come back first and then a few days later my smell. i haven't had any of the scary recovery symptoms. the cough has FINALLY gone away.

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I love you Kristen. You are very strong and I know you will be okay. I’m still hoping that this is just a regular old upper respiratory issue. My love to Grangie and Grark. Having their baby girl feel bad must be driving them crazy. I need to check out the weighted blankets. I have always liked the heaviness of several blankets even during warm months. I’m sorry Atlas needs a weighted blanket, but I’m glad he has one to comfort him. Why the green onion in your Mac and cheese? That sounds like a Cory thing. Chell’s gifts are the best! Hang in there. ❤️

[@boxxi1126]

get a pulse ox thingy for your finger, so you can check you oxygen levels and can give you more direction on if you need more medical support. Take care

[@alexbaines2477]

We have one I check it every once in a while just to be safe plus mums vulnerable better to be safe than sorry hopefully she will be vaccinated soon send my love to u all from England xx 💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Kimera_225]

Get better Kristine! Cory and the kids need to check for symptoms that might pop-up later or get sick after. And please, get rest! Work can wait, your health cannot. Your health is priority #1 right now! Best wishes

[@mysticanimation22]

Yes, weighted blankets are great. It like getting a light hug that really helps getting a clam feeling. Some (at least the one I got) keeps in heat since it doesn't have any air flow but it can cause you to sweat. But look around. Hope you start feeling better.

[@hippygram]

Be cautious with the rapid test. My grandson tested negative on a Monday(at his place of employment) He still wasn’t feeling well on Thursday and asked to be tested again(not rapid test) he was positive! His mom also tested positive. Thankfully they didn’t have severe cases, but felt lousy for 2 weeks. So lucky you have an entire living space to quarantine. Take care, the best thing is REST.

[@MrsTrafford]

Noooo!!! Kristin!! 😭😭😭😭 Praying for you all.

[@annaortman]

Please get better! Your family needs you and so does my family and I. We are praying for you a fast recovery

[@MissSonneFisch]

Funny the way things work out. The way your house is set up is PERFECT for quarantining people, lol.

[@tappingtechie08]

Hang in there Kristen! I hope you feel better soon. Keep taking deep breaths and moving around as often as you can.

[@korinakorinakorina]

Lol dont try to work, please! Rest and relaxation. Your body is telling you this, dont go against it.

Get well soon Kristen! Rest and enjoy that cold air and weighted blanket and please don't worry about work stuff etc. You're healing and everything else can wait.

[@StormLight13]

Awww Kristen :( Feel better soon! And just remember, lack of focus when your sick is your body's way of saying, "Shhhh....settle down, we need to rest!"

[@abbyroadme]

Just have kids and Cory tested again, because some brands of rapids can give a false negative.

[@featherjean6291]

The tests can also be false positives.

[@artfartzy]

@@603bornlivefreeordie5 Idiot it's not a cold far from, it's much worse. Like Jen said people don't die from a cold or get late sequelae like you see with covid19. People are dying because of people like you who doesnt take it serious.

[@kath121]

Kristen, so sorry you're going through this, but so glad you're able to be home and fairly comfortable! And FYI, our homes are so well-sealed these days that they literally get low on oxygen inside! I bet the cold air relief you're getting is simply more oxygen from that fresh outdoor air.

[@countrybreaze3044]

Hey Kristen & family I am so sorry your sick Keisten. I am so glad that Cory & the kiddos tested negative. Thankfully you are able to safely quarantine & you have people who love you & can help bring you things you need. Your in my thoughts & prayers. I hope you feel better so on. Your a strong beautiful phenomenal woman & your a fighter you will get thru this. Sending you lots of love & prayers. Blessings from Washington State. 🥰🙏🥰🙏

[@rebeccastratton4114]

Rest, a lot, if you get the joint pain, it's aweful so rest. I lost my smell and taste 23 years ago from a head injury. Every thing became "white on rice". Hope you get yours back. Mine is never going to be fully cured, but there's always crunchy, smooth, or hot or cold!

[@TheriaultDave]

Oh nooo. I hope you feel better soon. I had it back in June and I was so sick with it. I had all your same symptoms plus a never ending pounding headache and chills. I was wearing 2 hoodies and under 2 blankets. I took very long naps(like 3-4hours) and was still tired. Feel better soon. Praying for a speedy recovery.

[@bearvalleyfibres]

Try to do some lung exercises. Deep breath in, hold for 5 seconds, let it out, do that two times and then on the 3rd time cough hard on the breath out. Do that all twice and then lay on your tummy for 5 -10 mins and cough when needed. I did this and it helped SO much!

[@heiketheangel5187]

I did this exercise a long time ago after I had a pneumonia in hospital. It really helps a lot!

Ok Kristin, I am so sorry to see you going thru this. You are now on my daily prayer list and I hope you recover fully and completely. Thank you for the effort this video must have been. Sending

Aw, Crum, Kristen. =\ The gifts are so thoughtful. So glad your house is set up the way that it is. I know you must be missing the kids and Cory something fierce...how are you feeling this evening?

I have asthma and I have to say during an attack. The most important thing is to remain calm. Getting freaked out and scared only makes it worse.

[@KellyS25]

Take it easy and feel better! I had COVID just over a month ago, and I had a new symptom every two days. After two days that symptom would go away and a new one would start. On day 5 my sense of smell went away and I agree that it is one of the weirdest things. I hope your family stays safe and that you recover quickly!

[@bcgrote]

Girrrl... please feel better soon! I'm glad your fam is caring for you so well!

[@ETylerJC]

Didn’t read through all the comments so not sure if anyone mentioned it, but information I heard from a Covid nurse is that it’s imperative you sleep on your stomach to keep your lungs from collapsing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Kristin.

[@PaganChef]

Fluids, vitamins, rest, food. That is the best advice. Also weighted blankets are amazing! One thing to note, and it good you are moving around, watch your fingernail beds- if they turn less pink( white to blue) call for help immediately. Do. Not. Wait. Love you all, be safe, and keep breathing. ❤

Oh man, Kristen, feel better soon

[@sandiemom8888]

OMG Prayers coming for you. I got short of breath listening to you. I hope you dont have it but the no smell or taste makes me think yes as one of my son's had your symptoms and he had it. So main thing plz dont worry about work. Rest..rest..rest. I know being a mom we can't just rest but that is the best thing for you. Make sure to sit up as much as you can to protect your lungs but do it resting style. If that makes sense. It's a great set up you have so you can quarantine. Love and hugs...

[@luna9878]

Kristen, you are exactly like I was back at the beginning of November. The best advice I have is DO NOT lay or sleep on your back. Lay on your tummy if possible, or your side. It will help your breathing. I totally understand everything you describe--it was identical to my experience! I also have asthma...now I have REALLY BAD asthma; still struggling over 2 months later. Praying you feel better soon, and avoid the long-term aftermath! Love and hugs to all of you in this challenging time! --Lori :)

[@SusyTH]

Awww Kristen, please get well soon, also i am happy the house makes it easier to be on yourself!

[@jamiesvoboda166]

Take it easy, Kristen! I had COVID in September and the fatigue/exhaustion only got worse over time. I couldn't focus on anything and eventually barely left my couch because going upstairs to the room left me winded and achy. Please take care of yourself, you don't need to power through with work. If your body is screaming for rest, sleep is the best thing for you. Trust me. Keeping you, Cory, and the kids in my thoughts! Also, highly recommend Pedialyte Popsicles, especially if you develop nausea!

Dang, sounds really tough, I hope you get better real soon! You're a soldier for staying so positive too!
