Don_C Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 It looks like my wife and I will be spending Christmas and New Years alone this year, as well our boys, some friends and the boys’ in-laws. - Last Wednesday our youngest had a gender reveal party at our place, ITS A BOY!!! Yeah!!! - Saturday he was diagnosed with the COVID. Can’t make this crap up any more. Today my wife and I both became ill (not seriously), as well as my daughter in law, not the pregnant one. We are all getting tested tomorrow, but positive or not we will all be quarantined through the holidays. We were planning a trip to Pittsburgh to visit my family but two brothers in law tested positive yesterday. Crazy.My son and wife who are having the baby just closed on their first house last week and not only won’t they be together but now can’t even make the move before Christmas. What was going to be the best holiday season ever for our family is now a mess. We are all vaccinated, we are all responsible when out in public, and still it has hit us. My wife and I plan on cooking our traditional Christmas Eve and Day meals and somehow delivering to everyone, drop off gifts and face time with our Granddaughter. I just don’t know what to even think of all this BS anymore, but it all became real really fast for us. I was also hoping to get out for the new late season after missing all of bow and most of gun season with a multitude of illnesses. I guess that’s up in the air now too. As long as I’m. Not “sick, sick” I’ll quarantine in my truck and tree I guess. Anyway, I’m. Not really complaining, many have things much more difficult and painful to deal with, I guess I’m just venting a little, but I know I’m blessed in many ways and we will certainly find a way to laugh, share and have some fun over the holidays. Wishing all of you a happy, healthy and Merry Christmas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Sorry to hear Don. I think we are setting up to a nasty few weeks with all the holiday gatherings. I really hope you, your wife and other family members blast through this crap PDQ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone is going to get this at some point. You seem to have a lot going on which makes it tougher. Getting everyone healthy is the most important thing. After that everything will fall into place. Any there is nothing wrong with quarantining in the woods. Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Thoughts and prayers sent to you and your family Don. Hopefully it will all pass quickly, with no long term effects. Merry Christmas to you too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp_bucks Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Feel better. We are seeing an uptick in it at the hospital hoping it doesn't get to bad after the holidays. Some of the nurses who have worked the entire time during covid are dreading a repeat of last January. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitear Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 That's too bad. Hopefully, since you're vaxxed, your symptoms stay mild. That's what I've seen from my friends who have had it, the only one's who have gotten really sick weren't vaccinated. Regardless, I hope you guys recover quickly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moho81 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Oh man Don stinks that it's happening around the holiday. I hope you all come out of this with no problems. Take care of yourselves and the holiday can always be celebrated later with family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_C Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Thanks everyone. I am feeling OK, I can still work from home and can deal with the relatively mild symptoms. My wife got pretty sick overnight. We weren’t able to get tested yesterday so we came back this morning and we’re told to wait in our vehicle for up to 2 hours and they will get us in. It’s all so crazy, but there’s really nothing you can do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytracker Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hope you feel better. Our Christmas get together was canceled by MIL. As wifes nephew and in-law refuse to get the shot . MIL says we shouldn't have a party if everyone doesn't feel safe . Yet she won't tell them to stay home because they won't get the shot ... go figure . I keep telling her to change the TV channel from msnbc.. she won't listen . Wife has to work Christmas day ... no party at MIL.. kids are all going to there inlaws... looks like I'm going fishing . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corydd7 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Well my wife has covid, she is vaxxed as her job requires. She is a special education principal so we kinda new she would get it at some point. So far she is fine but we had to cancel numerous plans along with family and friends staying at our house. For me I'm cool with it, life is life make lemonade out of lemons but wife is sad to miss people around Christmas. I'm not vaxxed feeling good so far also tested negative. Tried to convince my wife I needed to stay at a hotel near a local gentleman club but she said I might catch a worse disease. So here I sit waiting for my wife to get me sick. I have a big meeting tomorrow biggest in my life, so not sure how to handle it but I really could care less lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robhuntandfish Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Gonna be a long winter of this mess. Looking like lots of things are gonna be closed for periods of time due to positive tests. Hoping for a silver lining of better herd immunity and possibly a less impactful dominant variant. Hope the best to all that have it.
