Thanks, EM. You're right that I wouldn't be feeling shame if this was the cold or flu. I just keep thinking how I brought this on myself. But at the same time, I mean, I went over 3 years without getting it (to my knowledge--may have had a false negative before). That's a long time!
I'm a little worried Dr. T (and/or his wife) will be spooked now. And change his in-person policy (or at least not do in-person for a week before his vacation). He said at one point that I was probably the (in-person) client he was least worried about getting it from. Then again, I should have immunity for a good stretch here. And I was careful--I didn't come in when I thought I could possibly be a risk (if I had chosen to go in, I'd have tested first).
And thanks for the well wishes, too! I'm feeling more tired and achy this morning, but right now, it's more like a cold than the flu. H said he'd try to keep D outside much of the day. I'm going to seriously owe him after this!
I'm also thinking, in terms of timing, if D gets it, all she'll miss is random end-of-the-year stuff (she already had Field Day and some sort of simulated Congressional hearing that was very painful to watch on video!) She likely wouldn't miss much actual learning (school ends June 14). And wouldn't miss either of our beach trips.
