Covid knocked on my door but I've beaten it

in GEMS4 years ago (edited)

This is my first blog in 19 days. I came out of hospital on Thursday evening and believed I would start blogging straight away. Turns out I lacked enthusiasm.

Sitting here with my peppermint tea and some cream crackers just to fill the gap - is a great achievement for me.

Let's start at the beginning. It was Eden's 29th Birthday and we went to Les and Jack for dinner.

Les, in her usual hospitable way had made the table so festive. I was a bit out of sorts and feeling guilty for it.

Went home earliesh and the next day Eden took me to the pharmacy where our pharmacist did a rapid test for me. It really was a shock that I tested positive and we bought one of the little devices that measure your oxygen. If it tested below 89, I would need to go to hospital.

I'm afraid to say that I was not a "believer" in Covid, seeing it more as a type of flu. In my case I never experienced breathing problems. Worst part was this very dry feeling in the mouth and throat.

Eden was constantly feeding me little bits of water and checking on my condition all the time.

As it turned out - that evening I had a real out of experience feeling of having passed on and then being summoned back to this world by my daughter.

Thank you for the encouragement after not having blogged for 19 days. We had no wifi in the hospital so it was very frustrating

I am very glad to hear from you again, my dear friend! I am happy you are well now but please do not forget to keep being careful. Covid is unpredictable, I know that from my own experience, unfortunately.

Yes, I am being very careful - and I'm extremely well - albeit a little tired

I am glad to hear you are alright, my dear. I am still weak and going to sanatorium for better recovery for 2 weeks, my GP is sending me there. Will make a post from there 😁

I'm certainly blessed to have recovered so quickly
