damn near killed me

Long story i,ll try to shorten it.wife came down with it 1st screaming headache.me fine ...24 hrs later i got it.hers ...bad cold symptoms .me got out of bed heavy feeling in chest hit the wall passed out on the floor not breathing.lynne called 911 ambulance emergency room all a blur.put me on bipap forced oxygen not intubation.started me on a remdesvir drip then alternating btwn antibiotics for covid based pneumonia.in hospital for 4.5 days.steroids made me nuts.aparently now i have some affib...liver enzymes and insulin got all out of wack....maybe still pcp will run tests in a week or so.still infectious so i told them unless you see something in the hospital papers wait i dont need to be spewing God knows what around.only thing i can say is yes for most they shake it wifes ok cough nose that crap.if you even think you are breathing issues have a pulse oxi meter handy any 02level below 90 is worrisome.the pnuemonia was what almost killed me.not looking for get wellsetc just passing on a warning ...dont screw around if you cant breathe thats what is the worst....i blame myself. Show at the bridgestone on fri 26.we were foolish.2nd round of novavax monday.the drs say the hybrid imunity is superior to just the jab or infection alone...not that i,m going anywhere soon.

WOW!! My daughter works in the emergency room at St. Mary's, and she says that Covid cases are definitely increasing very quickly. And most people have no symptoms. Definitely scary.
Try to stay healthy.

Keith, so glad you and the wife made it. Hope you don't have future problems.

Wow! Glad you lived to tell the tale. Hope you feel better, and don’t have any lingering effects.

That is a great message for all. Glad you are getting better now.

Buck .as i stated this recent post seemed timely as it is very recent not 3 mos ago.how the wife dodged the hospital and i basically stopped breathing...no clue.guesses are she has allergies seems to be a fair amount of evidence.the partial vacine may have played a role.round 2 novavax tomorrow.other evidence shows a hybrid imunity vaxed then infection confers superior efficacy over either individually.my 2 cents.

Thanks much no long covid ...pleeeaasse

Asymptomatic seems to be fairly common.at 1st around last year i thought home tests were useless.after having used them 90% acurate i get it.my whole attitude to potentially exposing others makes me think differently....call it a mental shift from avoidance to considering others 1st.home tests work.asymptomatic...? Juries still out i think.lynne tested negative yesterday nite after testing positive for 5 days.me not wasting a test i know im still infective.maybe test tuesday.btw the hospital did the quick test not the pcr on admittance ( so im told, takes under 10 minutes for results they knew i had it but that got me over the threshold requirement for the Remdesvir...life saver )

Hope you keep getting better, Keith.

Thanx mitch biggest issue for us now is the fatigue....im not going anywhere to many fish to catch to many cats to rub the wrong way still.

When you both get better and have your strength back we will all be looking forward to your next fishing report. Stay safe,

Glad you're on the mend, scary stuff.

Finally, a fishing report.check it in oosr.
