Thanks all for the advice! I tested positive today. It feels like a bad cold. I'm only seven days out from surgery, but my recovery has gone very well so far. Just focused on staying hydrated, which hasn't been a problem.

It's definitely a mental test because food has always been comfort for me. I guess it's a lesson I have to learn anyway.

Thank you both! I reached out to my PCP who is going to call in a prescription for Paxlovid for me just in case I get sick. Between the vaccine/booster and the antiviral, she's confident things will be okay.

Luckily my daughter just has cold symptoms, so her illness isn't severe at this point.

Fingers crossed.

Hi all,

I just had my surgery on Tuesday. Recovery is going very well for me--except that my daughter just tested positive for Covid. She's young, so she needs me to care for her. I can't quarantine her inside her bedroom. It seems pretty likely I'm going to get Covid. Anyone have this experience so soon after surgery? I'm really nervous.
