After a while he felt like he had COVID all over again, patient stated this is what it felt like. He tried to relax in the den in his chair and rest a while. He had gotten really sick then and he got scared. He tried to get up off the couch in the den and he couldn't.

He had taken his medicine for the evening. He then made instant oatmeal, put in microwave and he sat there on the counter and ate it. After a while he started to feel a little better. He guesses within the next hour or so after he got back in there he was feeling pretty good. Whatever that was it came over him and was leaving him.  His head wasn't hurting as bad and his eye socket wasn't aching as much. As the evening went on it all lifted up off of him. When he went to bed, he was feeling a whole lot better. When he woke up Thursday, he was feeling better. Thursday everything was back to normal.   No follow-up attempts are possible. No further information is expected.
