30. Thanks for thinking of me. I slept all day.

I have taking acetaminophen and am afebrile. I haven't been coughing but I do have an audible wheeze and oddly feel dizzy. I was able to find my pulse oximeter packed away from my old home health work kit and incredibly the battery is still working. My O2 has been registering from low of 88 to high of 95 so that may explain the dizziness.

I will see how I'm doing Monday and call the doctor then. I am usually hesitant about going to the doctor in good times because of an autoimmune disease and I really don't want to go now. I did speak with a friend who told me about a telemedicine opportunity and am strongly considering that as my best option.

It means so much for you to check on me. Thank you. I hope you are doing well and stay that way. These are scary times, there is no doubt.
