  1. Midnight mom I've had some minor heart issues before but the have definitely gotten worse since I had covid
  2. 18 months ago I had covid. I purchased a pulse oximeater to keep track of my oxygen levels the first time I was released from the hospital. When my husband got covid 6 months ago he also used it when he got covid related pneumonia. Last night my heart was racing and it was so easy to track my heart rate with this little tool. After a half hour of a high heart rate my husband took me to the ER. It was packed. Most of the people waiting had been there for hours but because of my symptoms I got in as soon as possible. I was in atrial fibrillation. After a few hours of meditation they were preparing to admit me so that ment a covid test. Imagine my shock when I was told the test was positive. Just as I was trying to wrap my mind around this new development I was told they mixed up the test results. The patient in trauma room one had covid. She had walked into the wrong room but quickly realized the mistake after checking the wrist band. I was in emergency room one and was negative. After 5 hours my heart finally settled down into a normal rhythm so I could go home. Today I felt like I had been hit by a train. I am off work until Monday and I have a appointment with my cardiologist but you can bet on my carrying that little meter with me everywhere until we figure things out. I will probably get a back up one too very soon.
  3. I had it in June. I was hospitalized twice and off work for 6 weeks. It took forever for the fatigue to lessen. My DIL's grandfather recently died from it. My husband and daughter living with me did not get it despite living with me and their coworkers having it. Son's family got it and recovered with in 2 weeks.
  4. I've been talking with another member about some of long term complication of covid. The fatigue I had with covid lasted months and I still have to watch my activities or I become very tired. Brain fog is definitely a struggle. My doctor has also encountered patients who still have not recovered from all the symptoms of long covid. https://health.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/covid-19-information/covid-19-long-haulers.html
  5. I was talking to my neighbor yesterday. She said her youngest daughter's family got covid in March and her daughter is still struggling with fatigue.
  6. I'm doing good but right now I'm fighting fatigue.
  7. Both times I was admitted to the covid unit they checked me over from head to toe for any kind of rash or skin discoloration. If they find something the recheck before you leave.
  8. My covid experience. June 20th I was tied having watched my one year old grandson while his mother, my son and my daughter got his birthday party set up. As soon as my daughter in law family showed up I passed him over to them. The next day I lost my appetite. Monday i really didn't feel good when I went to work and I still couldn't eat anything. Tuesday after work I developed a fever of 103.4. I called my doctor and she sent me to get tested. They tested me and gave me something for nausea. I waited for the results to come back fighting fevers between 100 - 103 for days. ]My daughter kept telling me to go to the hospital. I was really too sick to make a good decision about my health by that time. I called my doctor because I couldn't eat. Nothing was staying down and everything tasted off. She sent me to the ER for dehydration. They put me in isolation right away. My oxygen levels were low so I got put on oxygen. They ran another covid test as the one from the urgent care hadn't come back yet. Xray and several other test showed that I had covid related pneumonia. I got sent up to the covid unit. I had an inhaler, vitamin C ,zinc, a steroid, Potassium and a few other medicines to take. I had breathing exercises to do several times a day. In the hospital I was off oxygen within 24 hours. 1000 more test showed that I was OK to go home. At home my husband and daughter were put on leave by their employers. Both were tested and found to be negative. I struggled to get up moving and just wanted to sleep most of the time but I knew about blood clotts and started exercises to prevent them. Last Saturday I started to get a fever again. My leg was swelling and red. I had chest pain so back to the ER. I was again admitted to the covid unit with blood clotts in my leg and lung. I got out of the hospital Tuesday. I will be on " blood thinner " medicine for the next 6 months. I have an inhaler for what is left of the pneumonia in my lung. I will be on FMLA for a few more weeks until I can recover my strength. Blood clotts are more common in people with covid. I am lucky to have gotten through the complications as easily as I have. I had great medical care and a strong support system of family and friends.
  9. I'm going to be a Nana again soon so for Christmas I made up a diaper caddy for the soon to be new parents. I got a open tool bag for the caddy. It has 2 different size pockets inside and out. I put nail clippers, diaper cream, diaper wipes, pacifiers, pacifier wipes, baby lotion, Saline, nasal bulb, external battery for a phone, changing pad, hand sanitizer, boogie wipes, diaper disposal bags and a blanket in the cabby. All necessities for diaper changing in the easy to carry case.
  10. Tuesday I had my hernia fixed. Before surgery the doctor told me I'd have 1 larger incision and 2 very small incision fairly close together to fix the hernia. When I woke up I had the one larger incision and 8 small ones all over my stomach. When the started to fix me hernia they found 3 more spots starting to develop so they repaired them all leaving me with 9 incisions. I hurt but I'm slowly getting better.
  11. Two things happened this week that I made me recognize a gap in my flu box. First my youngest got the stomach flu and was sick for 2 days second I had surgery and was sick from the Anesthesia. The hospital sent me home with some barf bags. I really liked the ease of use and disposal of these bags so I found some on the internet I'm going to order. https://www.ebay.com/i/123358334595?chn=ps
  12. I'm having this problem now on my phone. If I use the laptop I can get in without a problem.
  13. They are also in Facebook ,and reenactors or living history interviews are very interesting. I'm going to try the Fried Chicken
