Caught Covid. I thought it was a bad cold. Kept going to work. Was drinking those 5 hour energy shots to get through the day. Finally got to sick. Tested positive. Got pneumonia in one lung. (didnt know that was a thing) CAT scan said no blood clots. Antibiotics are working. I can breathe. Appetite and taste are back. Stuff kicked my butt.

Did you get the antibodies or just being treated with antibiotics?

Its a tough one and nothing to be minimized. Glad you're on your way to better health again.

Those 5 hour energies really work?

Antibiotic was for pneumonia. Took a couple days but I can breathe again. Did not get antibodies. I waited to long to go to the dr. I bet I was asked 50 times why I waited so long to go in. I guess DRs have more confidence in their ability than I do.

They dont like it when you tell them its pretty rare to not heal up without a Dr.

All I wanted to do was sleep. Yes they took the edge off. Drank them two at a time. Not my best idea. Should have just stayed home and slept

Jab? Yes or no?

Best guess......where or how were you exposed? Still active and going out like Pre-Covid days? Or being careful?

Sorry......prior to catching the K-rona.......you were active and going out? And where do you think you might have been exposed?

My mother turns 90 tomorrow. Sisters think its OK to have another birthday party (first one was yesterday with one of her social groups......about 15 people). One tomorrow about the same with her aged siblings and their kids (our cousins) as drivers. They think no risk. I say no risk, unless any one of those is sick and shedding, in which case they may all get sick and perish. If that happens, was it worth it?

Not saying there is a right or wrong.....but no easy answers.

glad you're on the mend, danny.

I thought covid pneumonia was viral in nature, and not cured with antibiotics...

guess you can get non-covid pneumonia, even if you have covid?

Pneumonia is a secondary infection from Covid. Glad you are on the mend.

Glad you are better Danny, it's been almost 3 mos for me and my taste and smell still aren't right.

I'll be down your way most likely next month. Any recommendations on a good hole in the wall barbeque

Yep, steroids (not the muscle building type) are great stuff for temporary use in fighting back various illnesses but they have the complication of messing with a diabetic blood sugars. Danny, did your "med" people tell you that ahead of time that the prednisone was going to shoot your blood sugars high or did you have to find that out on your own...?
