Go Kitz, somehow I missed that - very scary. Did you feel very rough?
I got it last Nov when I was in hospital for a month. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned somewhere that being on a covid ward was damn scary - especially back then when we had no vaccine and little idea how to fight it. It certainly wasn't one of the most pleasant experiences to watch at least one person per day die. You almost got a feeling who was doing to die next by the way they were breathing. It was also weird how some of them could seem to 'come round' then go back downhill. Don't ask me why some of them were on PAP machines and not ventilators.
As I say, it was an utterly horrid place to be. I was fortunate that my daughter helped get me moved to a private side ward where I spent the remainder of the 2 weeks. I was originally admitted into hospital for something else and then caught covid from another patient. Even though I had covid, it was the other symptoms that were the maide me too ill to go home, and why I was moved to a side room. I am not exaggerating when I say I was dying - its why I wasn't around much for a few months - several spells actually - covering Sept 2020 to Jan 2021.
I am still quite ill.... and only just got out after being in for another 3 weeks, which is why Roseway and Alan have been running the shop.
Incidentally although I have recovered from covid, a CT scan a couple of weeks ago and xrays a couple of weeks ago showed I had GGO on my lung - something the doctors said is usually seen with pneumonia, but they are seeing an increasing amount of covid patients who have GGO. I wouldn't have known if I hadnt been admitted for something else and it showed up on those x-rays. That is something not being counted in statistics and something the covid deniers dont recognise.... the number of covid patients being left with other conditions they didnt have before and have no idea they do now. One of my friends has a heart condition caused by covid she got about the same time as me last year as me. Shes someone who was never ill, got over covid lightly, then later found out its left her with heart damage.
Dont get me started on masks and people saying covid doesn't exist.
