Some Schadenfreude for you. Finally reached the holiday destination we’d booked for 2020. Not had even a sniffle for years.
First day here seemed OK but overly tired. Put it down to recent poor sleep and the travel. Had 3 crappy dives due to real issues equalising then woke the next day with a range of symptoms which expanded over the next day or so to include shivers, chills, sweats, loss of senses of taste and smell, fluid in lungs, headaches. I’m going to guess COVID but it’s academic really as it seems highly unlikely I’ll be doing any more diving while I’m here as sinuses still clogged with no sign of clearing and given some of the diving can involve some significant current, trying to handle that with potentially reduced lung function is a very bad idea. Diving is pretty much the only reason I come all this way and spend this much bl**** money. I don’t much enjoy the heat but tolerate it. Now the heat is all I get to ‘enjoy’, with the added bonus of running a temperature of course. The food here is, apparently, great as always, but I can’t taste it, nor do I have any appetite.
Final cherry on top is the missus has now caught it from me and is showing some minor symptoms. Hopefully they stay minor as of course, I don’t want her to suffer it.
So, feeling any better now @SootySport?
To add, this is just Karma. I should have cancelled this trip and donated the money to support Ukraine.
