(rw, adult convo, illness) So I WAS going to post about how good we did at Maine Renn Faire. But then Bear caught covid. & yesterday I tested pos for covid.
& then last night I had coughing fits so severe I couldn't catch my breath - it was like a membrane across my breathing tube, not allowing me to breathe. So after a sucktastic night I called my pcp

trying to get a same day or Tele appt. However with my history of heart issues and multiple PE's (pulmonary embolisms) they wanted me to go to the ED.
So guess where I am now, my fine peeps? With a headache to kill for. or die for. take your pick.

Oh yes. And the ED is full! It's gonna be a long-ass day I can tell.

I have felt that membrane-thing, it is TERRIFYING
/puts you in a gentle o2 BUBBLE/
Am home. Am on paxlovid and steroids, & cough meds. My IV took forever!
How are you feeling?????
Like hell. Took everything am allowed to take (benzonatate, delsym. cough drops and inhaler and am STILL having some coughing fits.
But I think I am doing better than Bear who is having dizzy spells.
padlocks is supposed to be pretty effective, fingers crossed!
I have noticed that while Bear is dizzy still, I am very unsteady on my feet. And I don't have brain fog so to speak, but I sure as hell have short term memory loss. Entire blocks of time, just gone. Ugh. ok, back to sleep for me. Night all!
