Just needing a bit of solidarity as the anxiety of waiting takes hold.
I had a sore throat Thursday evening and a headache Friday. By Friday night I had a bit of a tickle in my throat, and had occasionally coughed. By Saturday night it was clear that the cough was persistant. So first thing Sunday I tried to arrange a test through the new site for key workers. Useless. I could get all the way through the process, getting a verification code so I could go and select an available time and date but it would crash when you clicked confirm. So I rang my employer. Within an hour I'd been tested. Super efficiency!
Test takes 2-5 days to come back, although those colleagues who have had them done previously got their results on the 2nd morning. So for me, that is looking like tomorrow morning.
I live in a small house with 3 kids. It has been impossible to isolate here. I'm so stressed. I don't feel particularly ill, but I do have a persistant dry cough.
Anyone care to share their feelings through this process? Anyone else waiting for a result? Anyone got a negative result with symptoms? I just flail between thinking it will definitely be fine, to what if it isn't? I had over 30 contacts last Thursday alone. That is typical of a day for me at the moment when working. Three days in work last week, and three days the week before. That's around 180 people to have caught something from. Plus having to do food shopping.
