Mom, uncle and aunt have no symptoms. They'll tests again on Wednesday.

This time is MUCH MUCH easier than last time. This feels like a minor cold right now. Last time I was *very* sick for 8 days and had emergency chest x-rays due to low blood oxygen.

ChatpGPT took my notes and made this long post:
---

### **Day 1: September 9, 2023**
* **Morning:** Thomas noticed a minor tickle in his throat accompanied by some phlegm.

### **Day 2: September 10, 2023**
* **Morning:**
* 9:20 AM: Fever hit 100.0°F
* 12:00 PM: The fever decreased to 98.4°F.
* **Afternoon:**
* 4:31 PM: Fever jumped to 100.8°F. Thomas experienced chills, though no cough or sore throat. But forcing a cough out felt slightly scratchy. He opted for a Tylenol to combat the temperature.
* **Midnight and Beyond:**
* 2:06 AM: Fever increased to 101.3°F, and chills began.
* 4:12 AM: Fever slightly decreased to 100.2°F. However, symptoms of runny nose and fatigue started showing.
* 6:09 AM: The fever went back up to 101.3°F.
* 8:00 AM: A slight decrease as fever registered at 100.6°F.

### **Day 3: September 11, 2023**
* **Early Morning:**
* 4:15 AM: Thomas's temperature read 98.4°F. He had slept for about five hours but woke up with minor chills, a headache, and a faint feeling of wooziness. Thankfully, no cough or sore throat, though a forced cough had a hint of a tickle.
* 5:43 AM: No fever, but a runny nose and postnasal drip set in. Headache was minor, but overall, he didn’t feel great.
* 6:08 AM: After taking a Tylenol and showering, Thomas felt crummy. The absence of a cough was a relief, though his voice was notably deeper.
* **Midday:**
* 12:14 PM: No return of the fever. However, nasal congestion became more prominent, and Thomas's voice deepened. Over a call, someone remarked about his congested tone.
* **Afternoon:**
* 3:37 PM: Fever stayed away, but a headache persisted. Thomas's voice seemed affected and he felt the presence of more phlegm in his throat, though without a cough. Fatigue was evident.
* 7:08 PM: The temperature was stable at 98.3°F, blood oxygen at 97%. Sneezing became frequent, but thankfully, the headache intensity decreased.
* 9:55 PM: Thomas mentioned "Paxlovid mouth" being evident but not overwhelming.

### **Day 4: September 12, 2023**
* **Early Morning:**
* 3:21 AM: No fever, and oxygen levels were good. No cough either. However, a sore throat was creeping in. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, it felt like a 2 or 3. Moreover, his voice was heavily affected and had a much lower tone than usual.
* **Current Day:**
* Thomas couldn't shake off the tiredness, finding it hard to sleep for more than 4 hours at a stretch. His tinnitus worsened, becoming exceptionally loud from the previous night. A fresh concern arose when trying to cough up phlegm – it hurt, even if the pain was just a 2 or 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.
