Day 8 from the Negative Test

It is a relief to be tested negative. Now they say that I’ll have natural antibody protection for at least an year.
One thing I did not mention is that I had lost my smell and taste since Day 5. I noticed it on Day 7 though. I have not got it back yet. It feels funny not to have any taste and smell. They say that average time to return both is 31 days. Everything is ‘they say’ now, because this is a novel experience.

I have started my workouts. I took it very slow on Monday. I was lifting at 30% of my capacity, it felt like I am working at 60% of my capacity. But boy, it felt good. It felt really really good. I was craving for that animalistic energy, and it tasted the best.
On Wednesday, I increased my lifting to 50% of my capacity. It felt more and more good. But I found out that I am not yet recovered on par. Those 50% felt like 75%. Rehabilitation will take time and I need to take it slowly. Muscles are there, and they are pushing and pumping, but I am more concerned about the heart rate. I am not letting it go beyond 160bpms currently. I can still lift a 150kg Deadlift with my muscles, but I do not want to risk it with my lungs till rehabilitation. If an ‘Asymptomatic and mild’ case feels these effects, I am more concerned about hospitalized and serious cases. I salute to the human race for being so resilient and so powerful.
