To turn up to an appointment like this?

A couple of weeks ago I had a rather nasty cold (not covid - confirmed through tests). I’m no longer coughing, sneezing, no croaky throat or runny nose etc. but I still have a bit of sinus inflammation, so I still sound very slightly “nasally” and when I talk. DH tells me it’s barely noticeable and tbh I’m probably being hyper aware of this.

I have a nail appointment tomorrow with my usual nail lady who works from home. She’s always booked up many weeks in advance and I’m keen not to miss this appointment, or else it’ll be difficult to get booked in again. AIBU in thinking I should be fine to turn up given that I’m passed the point of being contagious?

It'll be fine. Als her if she wants you to wear a face mask as you've got a bit of a cold to be sure polite maybe

When I had a cold I checked with my nail technician in advance as I know she has an auto immune disorder. She said it was fine as long as I wore a mask which I was happy to comply with.

No harm in checking beforehand :)

Give her a call and ask

Wear a mask and let her know you are still recovering from a cold but have tested neg for covid.

Don't be ridiculous. No one else would think twice about not going. Bet she doesn't cancel on her clients for this week when she had a cold weeks ago.

Thanks everyone. I suffer from anxiety and I think I’m just over thinking it a bit, as I don’t want to upset anyone especially given that I’ll be turning up to her house. I think as suggested I will come wearing a mask for extra peace of mind.

The whole world can’t grind to a halt for a cold, I’d not give it a second thought.
