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.
