COVID TEST

Hello Everyone!

 

I don't know how many of you have had to get a Covid test for one reason or another, but I was ordered to get one today (yes, on a Sunday!) due to a test I'm having done as an outpatient this coming week.

 

I knew it wasn't going to be comfortable by any means.  But I didn't expect to feel like a lighted blow torch was going up my nose, and I would feel that for the major way home.  UGH!  I think the guy administering it to me singed my brains!  Ha!   Owie! Owie! Owie!

      Yikes @RosemaryF433825 !!! No, have not had a test. Sending healing thoughts your way for your surgery. When you can, please let us know how you are doing please.

      @Angela   Oh!  Thanks for your concern Angela...very sweet of you!  But it's a test and not surgery.  I'm not sick.  It's just a precautionary thing.   : )

      @RosemaryF433825  You have described the nasal Covid test to a tee! I also had one and found it to be VERY uncomfortable. 😆

      Mary and I had to have 2 Covid tests when we moved into our appartment in our retirement center. We have had to have a couple of other tests. I find them a nonissue myself.  Compared to the shots and the semiannual blood tests I have to track my A1C levels for my diabetes control.

      @DaveMcK   Hi Dave!

      Wow!  Good on you that they were a nonissue for you.  

      I've had one Covid test...and one was more than enough for this girl!

      Blow torches are absolutely not my thing!!!
