Sickness started Tuesday, runny nose headache over all icky feeling Wednesday, Thanksgiving feeling very bad, started ivermectin (prolly waited to long), Friday headache gone, congestion and coughing, but other than tiredness better, Saturday thru today still stuffy nose and tired but otherwise fine. People used to survive worst with out getting all wussified. Something amusing, hadn’t realized how much sense of smell I’d lost until I put Vicks under my nose and…..nothing. I take Zinc, C, D, Quercetin, Turmeric on a daily basis, am in my early 60s, and healthy otherwise. Grandson (12) and granddaughter (3) both went thru it too, with one really bad day. It’s just a bad flu folks.

Everyone says its just a bad flu, even my husband. But some people develop pneumonia and die, like my dad did in August this year. So for some.. its not just a bad flu.
Yeah, it hospitalized me. The only reason I went is bc my mom showed up with an oximeter and told my wife to check me, I was at 77. That explained why I had been walking around the house with my feet through the armholes of a tshirt, tied at the top and talking to myself. Wife told me I was walking around for several days and nights saying “fuck Covid fuck Covid I’ve got this I’ve got this”. I had silent hypoxia so there were no signs that my lungs were shutting down.
5 days in the hospital and they stuck me with Remdesivir😡. I remember them telling me I was going to get it, but at that point I was still really wacky and couldn’t remember anything. I can tell you no one seemed excited about me getting it. It was bad enough that my oxygen deprived brain picked up on their lack of enthusiasm about giving it to me. That moment still sticks with me.
I did manage to get one thing right! When I finally saw a doctor and he gave me his spill after he finished he asked if I had any questions.?. That’s when I managed to get out that under no circumstances am I to be hooked up to a ventilator. This is a moment I remember clearly. The look on the doctor’s face was strange at first “kinda a deadpan” and then he cracked an approving grin and said, ok.
When I got out they sent me home with oxygen. After two days I forced myself to stop using it. On day two I forced myself to start cleaning the house. The first time I did this I had to take a chair into the kitchen so I could sit down. It took me two and half hours to clean the kitchen the first time I tried.
It took at least a month before I could just walk around and not get winded. That’s pretty jacked up bc I’m an active bike rider that has a hard time sitting still. I also got depressed and that’s not something I struggle with. The depression was the only thing that got in my crawl. I took that anger and mentally placed it on the assholes I blame for Covid. I think we all know who they are, FUCK THEM! Sorry about the language 🤷🏼♂️
It’s been 6 months and I can go hard again! I get winded much quicker than before, but it’s more like being out of shape and I definitely am compared to where I was prior to catching the chynuhflu.
So yeah, it’s real, can be serious, but for most it’s a walk in the park..
But for me it was a kick squarely in the balls.
I am still in shock that you were cleaning the house….while barely breathing. I can’t get my husband to pick up his clothes around the house even when he’s 1000% healthy!!! You are a superhero as far as I’m concerned.
Naahhh, we have a somewhat new business that’s growing. There were new employees coming on and remodeling to accommodate them. It has my wife’s name on the building and I’m not about to let her down.
Plus, I’m stubborn and I refuse to be a victim. The first time I got back on the bike was waaaay too soon. I ended up getting lightheaded, hit a curb and luckily landed in my neighbors over seeded Bermuda yard🙌🏻🙂.
So yeah,, no superpowers just a lot of stubborn stupidity
Awww still a superhusband! Good for you! God bless you and your family.
