The Answer

Well, well, well. 

I have the PVC answer.

I went to Urgent Care for an EKG. Told the doc all the things. She said nothing to be concerned about, but followup with cardiology if it doesn't resolve or you become symptomatic. Everything was normal.

Sat outside in the afternoon and hubby pointed out a bunch of bug bites on my arm. No itch, no pain. But there were a lot of bugs flying around. Strange it didn't itch.

Ready for bed. Took off my pants -- more "bites" and now I realize it's a rash.

Ran the combination of symptoms and non-symptoms (i.e. no fever, non-itchy rash, etc) through ChatGPT. 

Hello, COVID. 

Two tests immediately positive. 

Shit.

Exposed my grandson all weekend. 

Exposed everyone since Thursday.

No way did it even occur to me a little bit that this was COVID. Didn't occur to the doctor either. I told her I was a little bit sick -- like I was getting a chest cold that never really materialized. My voice was scratchy one day, but no sore throat. Told her about travel. Told her never had my heart react to stress this way. To be fair, no rash at that point. 

Dang.

Oura ring didn't detect anything either. All my monitored values were fine.

Now I wait for what other symptoms will join the fun tomorrow. It's been 6 days. Probably another few days to go. 

I should have considered COVID. I was looking for the reason behind the PVCs and a virus was a consideration, but since I didn't really feel sick, COVID wasn't even a little on my radar. 

Lesson learned. 

P.S. The roof just started leaking again. 

Fun week.
