Avoid this covid crap at all costs, especially if you have comorbidities like being fat, high blood pressure, borderline sugar problems. They won't be borderline problems when you're in ICU, but major hurdles to getting better. This is the most important posting i've ever seen TBS. Thank you so much for telling us your status. I'm certain when you get your legs back under you...you'll be an even better medical professional based on your experiences. You have an amazing journey ahead of you. God bless you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt 127 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Nothing but best wishes. My landscaper got it, hit by a train, but over it. A big, soft, elderly Security guy I know got it, felt a little like poop for as few days and walked it off. There appears to be no rhyme or reason. What treatments did you get, what do you think helped. Did you do any prophylactic stuff? Vitamin D, Zinc, Black elderberry, vitamin C, Quercetin? Im curious if it did, would, have done any good. Either way, great job beating the WuFlu. You get the T shirt! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a couple days in ICU (not recommended), a few more down in a step-down critical care unit, and have landed in a progressive care unit for discharge planning. Supposed to get out tomorrow, and they're working in that direction. Lung function improves daily. They really opened my eyes as to some bad health stuff, and gave me guidance to get right. So, lots of work when I get out, that hopefully sees me happier, healthier, and more focused on a long future. I made the mistake of turning on the news. These idiots have continued to break the country. I half expected the party to be over by now. I think I'll turn it back off and just keep working on saving for remote land. Again, thank you all for being there. Avoid this covid crap at all costs, especially if you have comorbidities like being fat, high blood pressure, borderline sugar problems. They won't be borderline problems when you're in ICU, but major hurdles to getting better. Awesome! Glad to hear you are on your way out. Can you share any details on the other problems you had? Did you go into ketosis? What caused the blood in the pee? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie-pete Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Glad you are about ready to get kicked out. Next trip to my neck of the woods and beers are on me. Any idea where/how you got it ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go into ketosis? What caused the blood in the pee? Hey man. That was a rough week- not one i want to repeat! Not sure about ketosis, but I hit some lactic acidosis with a LA of 3.6 at one point. They flushed that out with a few liters of IV fluids and fever control. No clue on the blood in the pee- next urine was clear. Dumb incidental thing? small stone? Who knows- Renal function is at baseline, so I'm not freaking out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
