It's not goodbye, it's I'll see you later.

My husband passed away yesterday in ICU after six nights of hospitalization due to complications of COVID-19. He spent 5 nights in ICU alone while COVID ravished his body. I was called Sunday morning when his STATS began to crash so I could spend his last 24 hours on this earth by his bedside, holding his hand, talking to him, letting him know how much we all loved him and willing him to fight and come back to us. 

This amazing, funny, loving, strong, healthy man who loved life, who walked 5-6 miles each and every day with his little buddy Kody, this man who would give you the shirt of his back if you needed it, this man who did everything to help anyone in need, This man who loved his family and friends, this man who did everything right to protect himself and his family from this horrible disease was wiped out in SEVEN days. 

To all you conspiracy theorist, non-believers, the government is trying to control us, I am young and healthy and I won't get it, it is my right not to wear a mask, it is too inconvenient, it is not a real thing people. . . FUCK YOU!! You are the reason I am a widow and we all are mourning the loss of our LOVED ONE!!

Covid-19 Positive - Day Eleven

I am feeling 95% better today.  So far no symptoms besides fatigue and some body aches which I am sure I will experience for a while.  I even caught a whiff of my body wash when showering so I do believe my sense of smell is finally returning.

Covid-19 Positive - Day Eight

This is what Day 8 Positive Covid-19 looks like for me (No Filters, No Editing). I am very fatigued, have intestinal distress, and have body aches all over. I have lost 16 pounds. Not once have I experienced shortness of breath and for that I am thankful. I have experienced a long list of symptoms some you would not think of when you hear Covid-19 which is categorized as an infectious respiratory virus.  They include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, headache, pressure in ears, sinus pressure, congestion, runny nose, burning sensation in nostrils, loss of smell, burning sensation in eyes, body aches, diarrhea, fatigue, lack of appetite, brain fog, feeling like going to pass out, and high blood pressure.

Covid-19 Positive - Day Four

Woke up today with a sore throat, most likely from coughing and a burning sensation in my left nostril.  The fever has been unrelenting for the last three days we will see what today brings.  I continue to use Tylenol every six hours to try and stay ahead of it.  Anything I eat or drinks seems to run immediately through my body.

I had to walk the dog today because my husband's symptoms finally caught up with mine, he has been in the bed all day sleeping with body aches, a cough, and a fever.  I felt lightheaded and felt very nauseous each time I went out. My body is still desperately fighting this thing.
