Sorry guys, I just need to ramble and get it out and you bunch of unknown people with a common interest seems as good a place as any.
My wife and I both tested positive for Covid last week, her on Tuesday, me on Wednesday. I am vaccinated due to work requirements, she is not.
I basically had a nasty cold for 5 days. My wife is one of the unlucky ones. She is currently in an ICU at a local hospital. When I called for an ambulance Tuesday morning I thought I would never see her alive again. She was gasping for breath and unresponsive, her blood O2 was dangerously low. They took her to ER where she spent 13 hours on a BiPap machine and getting various meds. She was taken off the BiPap, put on just oxygen, and taken to her ICU room.
This is all major improvements versus her condition when admitted.
She spent most of yesterday sitting in a chair instead of the bed, still getting oxygen through a nasal tube. She was able to talk on the phone and be her normal self. We both were optimistic that this might be a short visit and she'd be able to come home this weekend.
Last night her blood O2 dropped again and she had to go back on a BiPap machine. Major step backwards. They have had to give her various other meds to fight what this fucking virus does to the body after it gets a toehold. The nurse I've spoken with says her blood O2 numbers come up while on the BiPap, but start to drop off as they try to wean her off of it. She says they are ahead of the other problems that are popping up, but it can go backwards fast.
So, thanks for letting me getting it out, I apologize for being a downer. Hard to stay positive when just about everywhere lies about all the information just so they can push their agenda.
