In the hospital yet again

Can't sleep with all the noise; the staff, the machines. doors getting slammed and the uncomfortable IV in my arm.

I am here because of a 101* F fever. Been sick with a sinus infection and on my second round of antibiotics. I'd been doing all I could do to reduce the fever at home; alternated between a fever reducer and an anti-inflammatory, a few ice cold showers and had placed ice packs all over me when I was trying to take a nap.

Unfortunately, when I was admitted and finally saw the doctor, he didn't know if it was stress related (personal shit going on and unable to share it) or if it's Covid....I really doubt Covid as whenever I am out in public, I wear a mask (that has a filter), social distance as the public place allows (when I'm inside a building) and when in a crowded place outside....And yes, I was vaccinated. I know the vaccine (and the booster) will NOT prevent me from getting Covid but at least allowing it to be a less severe case. I was given a rapid test and a PCR test hours ago but no one has come to tell me the results of either.

Last time I saw the doctor (and ALL the nurses I've seen) that no matter what the answer is going to be, I will check myself out with or without their medical advice. I want to go home, sleep in my own bed and be ready to isolate if need be.
