And are you sure he is still even planniing on going after what he just went through? sending positive vibes on all this.
As a lifelong big-time seasonal allergy guy, I have rarely if ever had a truly productive cough due only to allergic processes. Perhaps this is different for you, BirdDancer, but please stay all over this. I am a few years older than you but, basically, we are in the same general age group. We are at increased COVID risk, despite not yet being the 'official' age of warning of 60. Chest pain and/or side pain can be associated with lung infections, among other things, as you know. I had a ton of chest pain with my big community-acquired pneumonia in '94. So, anyhoo, please stay on this. If you become confused or disoriented or spacy or feel high at all, this could be a sign of a low O2 sat. My initial self-noted symptom wiht my pneumonia was confusion beccause my sats fell into the mid-80s before I noticed anything was wrong. Bad patient, as usual. My parents had to come over to take me to the ER because I wasn't making any sense on the phone. I had a huuuuuge RLL infiltrate on my film. Nasty.
So, these things have a habit of sneaking up on us, is all I am saying. We are not 26 anymore. Even though I am sure you are extremely robust and witty and charming and hilarious at the ripe old age of 27.
Be well!!!! Hugs and health!!!!!!1

Love your last two paragraphs!
I am slightly worried about covid 19, but not having a fever makes me less worried...or confused. I am also getting a slight headache, fatigue, and mild spaciness, which I hadn't had during the daytime through evening until now (with just a brief exception yesterday). In fact, I've been pretty ramped up. lately. I've decided that if I do become ramped up later today that I will strongly force myself to keep physical activity limited. I actually did more exercise these past few days than I had for ages.
Of course it went through my mind that my psychiatrist may be sick again. Gosh, I hope not! As for his vacation, on Friday he clearly stated he still planned to go to the Vineyard. I don't know exactly when, but I assume within a day or two. He said I could contact him for meds, or the like, while he's on vacation, but I don't need to. My supplies are sufficient.
