I’m no CovidBall, ok- maybe I am.
I tested positive and I believe I’m out of the woods finally. Thankfully.
I am the beasts’ favorite dish:
Male
Northern Italian genetics
Type A blood
Chunky
50
HBP
Delicious
I spontaneously lost all sense of smell & taste about 2.5 weeks ago, before it was even a recognized symptom. I couldn’t get a test without another telltale symptom of fever or coughing. After reading up, I thought I was one of those asymptomatic cases (possibly). This went on, and on.
Then Friday. Was working from home around 3, got a chill - then an immediate fever spike to 103°, heart rate up to 150, chills. Went to ER, swollen glands... tested, IV bagged and isolated. Lactic acid bangin, white blood cell count over 18000 couldn’t control fever with Tylenol drip.
Chest X-ray and CT w/contrast negative for pneumonia. < as soon as my temps and levels came down, I requested to be discharged before results of Covid test came in. I didn’t want further exposure. They started me on the Hydroxychloroquine/Zpack cocktail on Saturday.
Fevers persisted - weird chest pains and pressures.
results came in yesterday that I am positive. Wife kids and I are under strict lockdown quarantine.
Personally, and it may be a panacea, but I felt like I was being feasted upon until I took the fish tank cleaner... If this **** entered my lungs, I was toast.
I feel ok, albeit beaten up. Don’t get it.
Bourbon and cooking is about all I got, and I still can’t smell or taste anything
