So Today I Tested Positive For Covid 19

How are you doing, CantonDawg?
Well, day 5 in the Stalag and here’s what’s happening.
My fever is now non-existent, along with body aches. Congestion is improving, along with my appetite.
However, shortness of breath is still a major issue. The doctors seem to think I have tiny blood clots in clusters inside my lungs. They are giving me huge doses of blood thinners via injection through my stomach.
The hardest part of this ordeal, is lack of human interaction. I’m glad I have you guys around to hear me bitch! ?

Glad to hear it, hopefully it's turning the corner and you'll be able to bitch to everybody soon!

Canton Dawg - you're probably pretty busy laying around in the hospital - but have you any idea how you contracted It?
(Note to myself - sure, it feels goofy to wear a mask when going out - using bleach wipes on packages we pick up from the grocery carry out, and spraying my shoes when I get home etc...
but more people were wearing masks to go into this popular grocery than I thought would be.
The people working in them aren't though.

Sure do, got it from the 'ol lady.
She works in healthcare, and she was down with this stuff for 7 days.
Unfortunately, I’m a diabetic and an asthmatic so my immune system is already compromised.

Good to hear you're on the mend.
But I think you missed your only opportunity to make the wife sleep on the couch and it cost you. Dearly.

Oh no, my good sir. Old boy is going to be able to milk this one for quite some time to come. Trust me, he's chipping at eagle right now.

You can bitch around as much as you want, if that's what you need!
Take care, thank you for keeping us informed. Stay strong

Ask them if they could try this on you. Shows some initial promise.

Day 9 in the Stalag, and I can honestly say I’m feeling much better. If I can only get one of the doctors to sign my discharge papers. No, I won’t do Corporal Klinger for a discharge paper either.

I was discharged on day 14, the last 6 days I had no fever.
They were taking X-rays of my lungs every other day, as my pulse/ox was still low.
They wouldn’t send me home until I had several bottles of oxygen delivered first.
I’m still hitting the oxygen several times a day, but my shortness of breath is gradually improving.
What makes everything more frustrating, halfway through my hospital stay the moving company moved me from Middleburg Heights to Medina.
So now it’s like camping, if I want to find something...it’s in a damned box somewhere!
