Further testing will be done in the next days. And there will be a 'talk', nurse says. Tells me they are not expecting an easy recovery and probably have a good clue already. What that might be, they are not saying. Let's wait for that talk.

Problems with limbs have been seen ever since this started - blod clots, anemia - I just hope worse can still be averted.

Just wanted to post conversation wise. Family had been really lucky so far. Really exceptionally difficult times these.

Lung cancer was detected the first days in hospital, but they've since retracted that and it is now 'could be cancer, still not sure'. Transferred to a big hospital on the 2nd day. Many tests done, and still ongoing. It is now mostly "rare disease, not seen before". The doctor is a newbie. Just graduated or not yet (not sure now, but it was something like that.) Initial pain has gone but there is also no big improvement.... [sub-edit: the condition is centered around blood abnormality, and 'red blood cells are eating white blood cells' - sounds to me like the blood / immune system is broken - and cancer would be secondary - just adding this for the record]

Not having a working immune system really sucks. Stay unvaxxed, everyone.
