Last pre-op to do this week: COVID test
We arrived at a pre-procedure Covid screening area and got taken to the screening room after a few minutes.
Nurse: “This is the kind of Covid test where I have to go far up the nose. It’ll only take a few seconds. Good news is that if I get a good specimen on one nostril, then I don’t have to do the other one.”
Ellis: slowly nods in agreement, tearing up.
After swabbing one nostril, nurse says that was good enough.
On our way out, Ellis tells me in a mischievous voice, “When the nurse told me about getting a good specimen, I thought, you’ll only need one side.”
Me: “Why only one?”
Ellis: “You’ll definitely get a good specimen for whichever side. You don’t have to worry. Mmwahahahaha. My nose is very s…n…ah—teee!”
Have a great weekend and stay well! -Esther

I hope the results were negative.
Braver than some adults with that nostrils test!
