Breathing Update

OldBones-Larry
1 22 253

I was sent down to the larger town 36 miles away to a clinic for a covid test.

The Dr there says results should be back in 2 - 3 days.

Now on a massive antibiotic regimen for 5 days.

Must isolate in one room of the house now. 

He thinks it is an upper infection.

Oh no.  You are the first person I know and care about who may have it.  Lighting a candle right now, Larry, for you.  I bought a bunch of these candles from the store last week.  I'm not Catholic or Latino, but I love them.  They're inexpensive, safe (if I fall asleep with one lit) and they comfort me and remind me to pray.    Praying for you, Bonnie

Keeping the prayers going Larry......wow! 2-3 days? I thought the tests had faster results. Although, honestly, you are the only person I actually "know" who has gotten tested. Stay strong my dear friend.

praying for you.jpgOne thing I read about the corona virus Larry is that it's a "lower" respiratory infection that goes into the lungs. Your Dr. saying he thinks it's an "upper" respiratory infection is encouraging. Follow Colleen's advice about fluids, and stay positive. Know that we love you and are pulling for you.

Didn't want to hear that.  Heck.   Keeping you in my thoughts.  Can't image being stuck in one room right now.  

Be OK

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
