About a year ago, I posted Wow! ...or, Should I Say, "OWWW!"... Today, I m adding to the Wow! of my life experiences.
What I have done all of my life was/is to wake up (at some point of my day), eat my breakfast, and then brush my teeth and other morning routines like shower, shave, etc.
Well, today, my current routine has changed for various reasons.

Well, today, my current routine has changed for various reasons.
- I have a test planned for Covid-19 to makes sure that I am "clean" for tomorrow's surgery.
- Given my 'planned' surgery for tomorrow, I need to stop eating before 8 pm, tonight.
- I have stopped taking my supplements due to the surgery (supposed to be clean for 7 days, prior to surgery).
As I type this, we are in the car and heading to the location for the virus test.
Prior to this, I brushed my teeth. Moments after brushing my teeth, I thought about the fact that if I didn't eat breakfast, that would effect my hunger through the rest of the day and tomorrow due to the necessary fasting for surgery.
...excuse my absence for a bit... It's pretty difficult to type this out while on the road (using my phone) to the test...
Well, I'm back home and back on the laptop and running Conan the Barbarian in the background...
Now, according to the note they handed me, the test results will show up on MyChart is 5 days...
From my personal experience, without the ability to confirm or deny any viral infection, I can only compare my physical condition to those that may appear if I am infected. According to CDC:
So far, I have been clear of all of those symptoms! As well, with my experience this morning, I am even more sure of it.
Over the last couple of months, I have been intermittently fasting through the day(s). Generally, my intake of food has happened between noon and 8 pm. As a result, waking up and brushing my teeth/mouthwash happened 4-5 hours before eating anything.
Today, with my upcoming fasting due to surgery, I decided to shift my intermittent fasting from 12 pm-8 pm to 8 am-4 pm. Of course, I decided to make the shift after I brushed my teeth. That meant that I made and ate my breakfast with a relatively clean mouth. Let me tell ya... while I grew up with the mindset that it made more sense to clean my teeth/mouth after eating my breakfast (as opposed to going through the day with the remnants of the crumbs from my breakfast) and going through the rest of the day with a clean(er) mouth, I'm turning to the idea of brushing my teeth first.
Not a big factor in the survival with life, but..
At any rate, there has been NO loss of taste or smell!
