Covid - 19 is Personal not Political

 

The statement Covid 19 is personal not political is 100% correct. Having a longtime friend pass away recently and another coming real close to passing as well put it in perspective for me. It should for all of us. Some however would rather make fun of others for trying to safely go about their business. Many excuses are made daily as to why masks won’t be worn. Most are bullshit. I’d like to share with you a post from a dear friend that has been through and is still suffering from this so called hoax and fake virus. Many out there should be ashamed of themselves.

 

Covid Recovery Update: I have been off the vent for 12 and a 1/2 weeks now. Any improvements have been very slow coming. My oxygen still drops easily with very little exertion. I am on 4 1/2 liters 24/7. I still have what feels like carpet coating my throat and preventing me from talking above a whisper. The coughing spells have became more violent but they are not as often. I have crazy random hot flashes in my head along with the numb area on my scalp that is still holding fast. I have lost half of my hair and doesn't seem to be slowing down despite doubling up on biotin and other vitamins. If it gets any worse, I will pull a Demi or a Brittany and buzz my head! The sleep study report said that I stopped breathing 23 times an hour and my oxygen dropped to 81. They want me to come back for another study to get a cpap. I haven't heard from my ECHO test yet. My neck stays sore and the headaches are becoming more prominent. The only way I can get a good nites sleep is by soaking in a hot bath with Epson salt and taking a liquid Nyquil tablet and an ambien. Haven't been doing my breathing treatments much unless I get scared. The Dr doesn't think they are helping me. My teeth and face stays sore. Praying my teeth don't fall out like some covid survivors do. My taste is nonexistant and my smell is off and on. I smiled when I smelled a skunk today...but it stunk! I finished my home therapy this past Friday and tomorrow at 7:45am, I will start 12 weeks of pulmonary therapy at the hospital, 3 times a week. I'm still having doubts that I will ever catch back up on my life! Having to do paperwork everyday for taxes, insurance, Healthcare, and logging my exercises that I have to do twice a day. My ability to concentrate for very long has greatly diminished. The tremors in my hand have improved a little but I still can't read my own handwriting. The extreme fatigue and shortness of breath is hanging in there like a hair in a biscuit. The bladder still has a mind of its own. SS has suggested some puppy pads. Still so thankful for all the treats and goodies that friends and family have brought over and everyone still offering to help. It is so appreciated! My heart might not be working correctly but it is still smiling and so am I.

Wear a mask.

Social distance.

Wash your hands.

COVID IS EVIL!!! 

 

I am fully aware that politicians use anything and everything to further their agendas. Both sides do it. What is hard for me to fathom is normal decent people so caught up in politics that they can no longer do the right thing. Washing my hands is easy. Wearing a mask when in a crowed area is easy. Many other things we do on a daily basis are for safety and we do them, this is no different. Only you can prevent forest fires.
