Saturday morning 2 AM ambulance ride

Saturday morning about 1 AM I had been asleep since about 8PM when I had shortening of the breath and could not sleep. I got up and drank some ice water. No good. I call 911. Zoom to the hospital first thing they do is swab my nose. They tell me I have Covid. They put me in an oxygen mask for 6 hours. Then about 9 I have breakfast. Fast forward to now, I am logging the experience and will post the experience when I get hope hopefully this weekend. I am much better. Until I get home I will only be on here sporadically. Please don't politicize this blog. I won't.

Hope you recover quickly!wine
Did you get a Covid vaccine earlier in the year? Get well!
How, who, or what, do you think you contracted Covid from? Have you gotten a vaccine shot or 2? Have you been out and about mixing with people? I'm living like a hermit these days fortunately I'm retired so I don't have a job to go to every day. My youngest son Steven organized getting us both vaccinated 2 shots in April & May. I'm still really careful about avoiding people as though they have the plague and they very well may. One more thing, I've made it a personal rule, I don't buy anything made in China nor eat at a Chinese restaurant anymore.
So the weekend is here ....
hope your recovery continued well enough to of allowed you home as you had hoped.

Either way, well wishes for you Will".. wave

Let me answer your questions Oob.
1. How, who, or what ........
I got too close to somebody with it. I don't know how else to answer that.
2. Have you gotten a vaccination shot?
According to my Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card, 01-19-21 I had Pfizer EL3248 dose #1
According to my Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card, 02-09-21 I had Pfizer EL9265 dose #2
3. Have I been out mixing with people?
My only time away from home is to grocery shop, take out the trash and check my mail box. 10 days prior to my hospitalization I was grocery shopping once, having lunch at restaurant once, and that is all. Since I am missing my right leg, I am not away from home without a driver to transport me. I have 4 or 5 regular drivers and to date none of them have come down with Covid.

You don't eat Chinese restaurants. Interesting, most Chinese restaurants east of California are of the American variety, you know the buffet style? Not much Chinese there except maybe the Americanized Chinese looking waitress or cook that entertains you with their garments and fortune cookies.
You're in my prayers...just relax and get better.bouquet
