I was sedated and strapped in while on the ventilator. Standard procedure. I almost succeeded in pulling the thing out. I have a very high tolerance to pain meds and sedatives. I was not all the way under. I can say for absolute certain that ICU delirium is a very real thing. I was fortunate that I was too far into the covid infection that remdesivir was not administered. Otherwise, I would have probably died. Also, I contracted a staph infection from the ventilator insertion that got into my lungs, resulting in bacterial pneumonia. Viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, and sepsis from bed sores. The hospital I was at did everything they could to keep me alive. For that, I am grateful to them. Oh, and out of 27 people on my covid ward, I am the only one that survived. I was also the only one that was not vaccinated at least once. The respiratory doctor at the rehab hospital told my wife and I to NOT get the shot. There are good people out there.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. What an ordeal! God bless you.
Thank you. It was a very horrific experience. And God did bless me, of that I believe wholeheartedly.
