My Account of my time with Covid

No politics in this blog and none will be tolerated in the comments section. Time for that is another blog possibly at another time.

Last Saturday at 1 AM I was awoken with shortness of breath. after drinking a glass of ice water I called 911. I was choking. They quickly arrived and transported me to the nearest hospital where the first thing they did was swab my nostrils for covid. Soon after it was announced I was 'Covid positive'.

On went the oxygen mask blasting cool oxygen in my face for the next 6 hours. I could really feel just how cool it was when I stuck my finger to scratch my nose or side of face.

Throughout my 6 hours I was given injections and had blood drawn.

After 6 hours masked I was served breakfast.

Throughout the next 6 days every 2 hours round the clock, I received many injections, blood draws, and tests. Yes around the clock. I never got more than 2 hours sleep without being woken for something.

I received over 30 doses from a Combivent Respimat inhaler. It spews a harsh substance called Ipratropium bromide from an albuterol inhaler. It caused me to gag almost every time I used it.

Today I am home after a truly beautiful night of sleep for a change, and I can definitely tell you there is absolutely nothing about Covid-19 that I could find political.

Glad you're OK, take care.
It sounds like you got good care at the hospital. Thanks for telling your story. purple heart
Thanks for sharing your experience. Take care and stay safe.hug
Great news applause

What else to say but welcome home wine lol

People waking you up every two hours is par for the course in hospitals. Jabbing you with an IV by some incompetent vampire is par as well. Glad you are ok.
I'm glad to hear you're back home and that your convalescence is continuing more comfortably.

Sleep is a great healer.
Glad you're doing better. Just curious, what's your blood type?
My blood type? I honestly don't know. I knew back in my Air Force days but really had no need to know since and have honestly forgotten.
Happy to learn that you are home and doing great God is good .
