I like riding my bike and going to the gym. I got a virus in 2019 that went to a Strep infection and the Nurse Practitioner I had at the time said she heard something in the lower lobe of my left lung, so she gave me an antibiotic which took care of it. Then years later I got Covid in the gym even though I was vaccinated for it. It was after the big mask enforcement, and they just told me to stay home for a few days after I tested positive for it, so I did. Then for about four years I never got sick at all. I rode my bike for huge miles and went to the gym for upper body and bone mass.
Then this year I got a nasty virus that ran its course, sore throat, upper respiratory tract infection, and felt better. But then, about a month later I got another virus in the gym, and I could not believe it. I just spent the last four nights coughing all night. I even went to the Urgent Care Center to get tested for Strep again, and it was negative. That means I am exposed to many germs in the gym, and it is impossible to protect myself from all of them. I need to reevaluate my plan.
There are certain times of the year when I will avoid the gym now. I will look for other ways to keep my muscles strong and bones thick. Maybe a home gym? I need to think about this.
