A Turn of Events

This past weekend, I realized that we only have about two weeks left in the first semester here at UK. It made me upset because a lot of the friends I have met since I came to UK live quite far away from me. My friends' hometowns range from Louisville all the way to Chicago. After thinking about this, I made sure to remind my friends that we need to make the best of these last two weeks and spend some time together before we are away for two months.

Then comes Sunday, which is the day I began to feel ill. I have an ongoing problem with sinus infections, and they have worsened since I have arrived at UK. Every other week I deal with a new one. I decided that I should call my doctor because I was starting to become tired of these sinus infections and genuinely concerned about my health.

When I called my doctor today, I expected her nurse to tell me that I needed to come in and get looked at or that she would just order me an antibiotic since she had seen me so recently. Instead, she told me that my symptoms were too similar to Covid for them to let me come in without a test and that she felt the need to actually see me because of the severity and repetitiveness of these infections. Now I am scheduled for a Covid test tomorrow and have made the trip to Owensboro to receive it. 

I am hoping that this is just another sinus infection and not Covid, but I will keep you guys updated on my test results.
