Day 274
Neon Orange Soloist
I decided to get a COVID test since Julie is positive and I sort of had a cough on our way back from Myrtle Beach. Since I have not yet seen my new doctor I had to call my old doctor's office to get a test ordered. Since my doctor left the practice I had Julie's doctor order a test for me. I was able to get scheduled for 1:30pm.
The testing station was busy today and the lines were long. I was given the opportunity to have a nasal swab and give a saliva sample so I opted to do both. The girl that swabbed me said, "now, it's not 'punch the nurse day' and you seem pretty smart; I bet you could be President. Well, I guess you don't have to be too smart to be President!" I assured her that I knew what to expect (since Julie had swabbed me before) and I did what Julie suggested: rest my head against the headrest of the car, then breath in while she inserts the swab. This nurse did it much more gentle than Julie did! When that was done I had to drive over to the saliva station. I tried and tried to generate enough clear saliva for the test but I don't think I gave them enough.
Part of the literature they handed me at the test included a postcard about a clinical trial for people that test positive for COVID-19. I will see if Julie wants to participate.
