So anyway, we had some friends visit for 5 days over the last week for a couple of the music events in town. About 3 days after they arrived, I started to not feel great. Feverish, achy a little chest pressure. Ever since my second heart surgery, I get really scared with any kind of chest pain. But I knew immediately this wasn't heart related, it was lung by location and reminiscent of my lung pressure from last year, just much less severe. So it hasn't gotten worse over the last 3 days or anything and is very mild compared to last year, but I called the doctor and got tested this morning.

I am fully vaccinated and I believe in the science and hopefully will just have these mild symptoms for another day or two protected against severe illness, just the way it is supposed to work. But you all can do you best as far as hoping and praying for the worst.
KJ, here is wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm kind of surprised you got covid again after having it once and then being vaccinated. You should have double protection. Now you will have triple protection.

My son and his wife got the Pfizer vaccine back in March or April. However, they did not get their 13 year old kid vaccinated so about a couple of weeks ago they got a letter from the school saying his daughter was exposed at school. Sure enough, they got her tested and she tested positive for covid and then she gave covid to the entire family even though my son and wife were vaccinated. My son actually got the covid pretty bad. He actually missed work for 4 days (he works from home remotely), but didn't have to go to the hospital.

I told my son this past summer to get his daughter vaccinated. Oh no, kids to get sick from covid he said. He was so brain washed by Trump and the GOP that he didn't listen to the science. If he wasn't vaccinated he properly would of gotten it real bad. As it was I had to encourage him to get the vaccine for himself and wife.
