Summary

Crocus 22000 suspected COVID about two weeks before writing, with extreme fatigue, throat swelling that made swallowing hard, daytime naps, palpitations and a resting heart rate of 41-45. About ten days later a painful, swollen, purple big toe appeared; an urgent care doctor treated it as a skin infection with 500mg of Keflex and it was unchanged on day three. No other treatment or recovery is described.
