My Covid-19 experience. [View all]
In late March, I went to the care clinic doctor with what I assumed was a sinus infection. No fever, but a heavy feeling in the sinus area. The doctor did not suggest, nor did I ask for, a Covid19 test.
In early April, I was still dealing with the issue. Until I fainted at home, and the care clinic suggested going to the hospital.
Covid19 positive. 12 days in the hospital, receiving antibody plasma, various drugs for infection, and oxygen for my pneumonia. After 9 days on what they call high flow oxygen, I was really and truly ready to go home. The doctor said that they could not send me home until/unless I was on low flow.
3 days later, after gradually reducing to low flow, I had a talk with the doctor. She said that I was her first patient to go from high flow to release in 3 days, and we talked about lifestyle and general health. She started by saying that it was obvious from my overall condition that I exercise regularly. And I do, running and lifting every week. 45 years of working out and running. The doctor said that, and my attitude, was the reason I was walking out at all.
The thing is, I never had a temperature, and I became infected between the first and second shot, when I assumed that I had partial immunity.
Please everyone, get the shots. And if you can, exercise.
Finally, what would really make me feel better right now would be seeing Trump in court.
Stay safe.
