Been with gf overnight for the last few nights since I found out I could use my phone's hotspot for my work connection (probably to AT&T's chagrin, but that's what the unlimited plan is for, and if they're throttling it doesn't seem to be hurting anything). Been taking care of her for the simple stuff to reduce workload on the already pretty strained nurses - cold compresses, bringing drinks, rubbing feet, comforting after nightmares, the basics.
Today while swapping out one of her cold compresses I noticed she was burning up. Morning vitals confirmed she had a fever of 100.8.
After checking her, checked me. Noticed my forehead's a little warm as well, headache is slowly encroaching, and nose is acting like it's almost about to run. Haven't been able to take my own temp yet, gonna be a few hours yet till I can. And none of it feels terribly off - I'm barely below normal here, never would've noticed me without noticing her.
I'm really worried I just gave my horrifically-immunocompromised girlfriend something I've been unknowingly shrugging off.
I'm supposed to be caring for her. This ain't how it's supposed to go down.
