I had to go to the hospital today for the dreaded COVID test. I have heard they are awful, but I was told this one would be a self-administered swab. So how bad could it be if I was doing it myself? This one must be a different kind of test, I figured.
LIES!!! ALL LIES!!!
It was not self-administered. And it was awful.
I drove up to the ER and a guy came out to my car all dressed in protective gear. He gave me the test right there through the car window.
At first it seems like it’s not so bad, but then they keep going…and going…and going. They do both nostrils, too, so you have to go through it twice. My eyes were watering, and my head and the back of neck hurt for awhile afterward.
“Sorry I made you cry!” he said.
At least the whole thing is quick. And they were quick to give me the results, too. They called me within an hour or two and let me know it came back negative.
PHEW!!!!!!!
