I'm praying ? for the both of you , family, and friends. It's really a rough thing to go through. Even though it didn't seem to be the sickest I've ever been, the effects lingered. I did get vaccinated but I'm still being cautious. I was really careful and actually am pretty sure I got it from the grocery store. It's the only place I could have. It's a very weird virus.Yikes. My best friend/kayaking partner & his wife both tested positive for COVID this week. Both have been vaccinated.
➡️ “I think my wife has had it for ten days now and I started symptoms this past Tuesday. My wife had mild symptoms and getting over it now. I’m in rough shape and my doctor has prescribed a transfusion of antibodies at the hospital. Unfortunately they are very busy with Covid and I may not be able to get the procedure until Monday. I’m not yet bad enough to be admitted to the hospital. My oxygen levels and heart rate are very good, better than normal. Of course we are fully vaccinated, but that does not seem to help much. No idea where we caught it.
I asked him what their “symptoms” were like that caused them to get tested.
➡️ I’m feeling okay this morning but about the same. It feels like a very bad cold with bad fatigue. I’m more fatigue feeling than after a long hike or 14 mile paddle. No fever, oxygen level readings of 95 to 97 percent, which is good. But this morning I felt dizzy and had a oxygen level reading on 89% but then went back up. Doctor said below 90% for any period of time to go to emergency room.
➡️ At first, My wife got a cough and nasal type pain and she thought it was a sinus infection. She called doctor who prescribed an antibiotic. A few days later I got stuffy nose and a dry cough and feeling tired. I decided to get the virus test the next day, which was this past Tuesday. Things went downhill from there. Wife then got the test too which came back positive.
✅ Stay safe everyone - don’t let your guard down. COVID is still among us.
