My Adventure With Covid19 Part 11 (Opinion Piece)

 I don't give a lot of my opinions here.  Here goes my opinion on Covid19.

Do not live in fear.  Why do I say that?  Didn't I catch Covid 19?  Yes, I did.  The odd thing is I went out all over the place and I contacted new people every day.  It is the nature of my job and my business, What would I change if I could go back and do it all over again?  Nut much.  I do not know of any change in my behavior that would have prevented me from getting it.

Do not get me wrong.  It sucks for me.  Some folks get a little sick like the flu for a few days and get over it.  Me, I went into the hospital ( had it for 3-4 days before) on February 15, 2021. It is coming up to two months since then.  I am still on oxygen and blood thinners because of blood clots that formed in my lungs.  This sucks, as I have not really worked since then.  Thank God I decided to take out a disaster loan "just in case." This in case has turned out to be a good reason to have gotten the loan.  No income for 2 months (so far) has been rough - not just financially, but mentally.

I won't live in fear. I will be out and about as soon as practical with doctors' permission.

Stay safe!

 

My Adventure with Covid19 - Part 6

 

After the 23 days in the hospital, I felt pretty good and went home. That lasted one whole day. After I was home for the one day, I began to feel horrible.  I found out why. I had developed blood clots in my lungs.  This would be the cause of my 2^nd visit to the hospital.

I got put on blood thinners.  I now need to be on O₂ to get enough oxygen when I breathe. (as of the writing of this, I am on 2 liters of O₂ per minute).  This is something new to me.

I also have to take a blood thinner. This is something that means I have to be extra careful so as not to fall, as that can be tragic. I did fall once already, but it was not too bad. Fortunately, this stay at the hospital was only for 4 days.

More to come later.  Stay safe!
