If you consider yourself at high risk for serious covid complications and/or hospitalization, now is the time to get started on Paxlovid therapy. In view of your very recent surgery I recommend that you contact both your regular physician & your surgeon for an opinion and any instructions. At the very least keep them informed about your daily status. Drink plenty of fluids, eat healthy foods,sleep
