[Polly Hennessey]

Let the doctor tell you you are ok. Take care of yourself or let your husband. He seems to be doing a good job.

[TygrBright]

12. debm55 stay strong! You are not alone. n/t

[Goddessartist]

16. Go to the hospital! Your heart and body is telling you!

[True Blue American]

59. Thanks!

[Alliepoo]

17. Sending good thoughts your way!

I’m also thinking a trip to the hospital wouldn’t be a bad idee- just for them to give you a quick check. That oxygen level seems a little low so let them help you get it em where it needs to be!! Your DU family want you to be feeling tiptop and good!

[raising2moredems]

18. Do go..

and may you not get treated like dirt. Hope the staff talks to you, not your husband in an area outside of your earshot. Women get treated like dirt by most of the healthcare "industry". Speak up for yourself, ask questions. Sending good vibes.

[70sEraVet]

19. Remember -- you can't help others if you dont take care of YOURSELF!

Please keep us posted.

[Maraya1969]

20. Sending you good wishes for your health.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Best wishes. A chest x-ray would show if it's pneumonia (had it in 1/2020) couldn't stop coughing

[orangecrush]

22. GO

[Jilly_in_VA]

23. Ugh and yuk

Sending light and love (and prayer, if you don't mind those) in your direction. I've been in allergy hell for about 3.5 weeks myself, waking up coughing at night, so I feel your pain.

[vlyons]

24. Get to the ER

and please let us know what the Dr says

[Hope22]

25. Home tests are not reliable for negative results.

Heed the warning about the low oxygen. Please take care and get checked out! Love to you!💗💗

[highplainsdem]

26. Debbie, an oxygen level.in the 80s needs to be checked out. Now. So do that. Please.

[tblue37]

27. I see it's at 86 now. That's still too low. Go to the ER!

[Phoenix61]

28. Please, go to the hospital. Low O2 and temp are nothing to play around with. nt

[fierywoman]

29. Sending you good vibes, light and love.

[Prairie_Seagull]

30. Get your keister to the ER. Here is something to inform and promote this decision.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/hypoxemia/basics/causes/sym-20050930

This is just the low O2 level.

[multigraincracker]

31. Any fever?

I had just a little fever a couple years ago. Now my wife, the RN drags me to the ER at the drop of a hat. 3 test and it wasn’t Covid. Turned out it was sepsis. Getting it early might have saved my life.

Now my family doctor has a clinic in her office for those that aren’t sure if the need to go to the ER. No appointment needed. Went there last year and they sent me straight to the ER. I was dehydrated and going into kidney failure. Test said “unknown virus”..

GO TO the ER now.
And good luck.

[MiHale]

32. Get better, debm

[iluvtennis]

33. Sending positive vibes your way. Please update DU on what ER doctor says. n/t

[live love laugh]

[femmedem]

37. It sounds like you're going to the ER even though you don't want to. Good.

Your DU family is sending you lots of love while they're figuring out what's wrong and how to treat it.

Please keep us posted when you can. You have a lot of people here that care about you.

[barbtries]

38. 85 oxygen is go to the doctor time,

even though you don't want to. Normal is I believe 95-100, below 90 you should be seen.

Hope whatever it is passes quickly and you recover fully!

[yardwork]

39. You're right to go in. I hope you feel better!

[niyad]

40. Holding you in light and love. Your DU family is here for you. Lean as hard as

you need. Please keep us posted.

42. Hi Deb...

Please check this out...Hope covid is not it. Please keep us posted!

[MLAA]

43. So glad your husband is taking you to ER, always and I mean always better safe than sorry.

47. Is your breathing better? I'm sorry you're going through this

[Niagara]

53. Sending healing vibes and best wishes, Debbie!

Please keep us up to date when you're able to. We're worried about you!

[Ford_Prefect]

45. Hope you got in smoothly at the ER. On your own feet is better than the ambulance, I know.

[usonian]

46. Yikes. Take care. I hope you got paxlovid or whatever the MD's recommend.

A friend called, and my ex called saying they tested positive.
I said to ask for paxlovid., and their MD"s agreed.

(not that I do diagnoses. I just wanted them to get checked out and drugs prescribed.)

[debm55]

48. I did. thank you. I have been sweaty and cold last couple of days. They gave me a shot

[PlutosHeart]

60. Can you help us with information?

Did you have recent shots or a booster? Did you mask? THX.

[debm55]

65. I had all the shots and boosters, I have plans to get the new Covid shot in mid-September. For the

last two months I have been taking my sister to UPMC/Magee in Pittsburgh. I did not mask except for the day of surgery when I was there for 12 hours.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

49. Take care

[calimary]

50. Glad at least you have a better idea of what ails you.

Please keep us posted, debm55!

[malaise]

51. Sending good vibes

[Prairie_Seagull]

52. I am not expecting a reply to this any time soon. Take care of yourself.

Have you figured out where you got it? Would be good for us all to hear and remind us what we are up against. Is it really time for us all to start re-masking. I have not started yet except for purposes of wildfire smoke. Some may be waiting for some perceived tipping point. Pointing the finger at myself only but assuming others are thinking the same way.

What you went through sounds scary as hell. Take good care. We can all wait for a good deb thread.

[AlterAltar]

54. Thanks for checking in! Visualizing your rapid recovery and thriving! n/t

[gopiscrap]

68. welcome to DU

[murielm99]

55. Don't take chances!

Go to the hospital pronto! We need you around here. I bet your family feels the same way.

Keep us posted.

[pandr32]

56. Always head to the ER with low oxygen levels.

I went to the ER with low oxygen once and they said I had to stay. Good thing. An hour later I had a code blue and wound up in intensive care. Good thing I was already at the ER.

[True Blue American]

57. Get yourself to the hospital now!

I just spent a week in the hospital because I IGNORED THOSE SYMPTOMS. Cardiologists saved me, but it was not fun. Today I feel better than I have in years. But low sodium caused it.
Get an EKG.

ONE OF MY cardiologists just gave me an EKG, that was perfect. Said he would see me in a year.

[twodogsbarking]

61. What they all said. Get well.

[thatcrowwoman]

62. Thank you for getting checked out, Debbie. Sorry it's Covid!

Rest up as best as you can, and follow your doctor’s advice.
Sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery, love and hugs and sweet Shalom.
