I highly recommend against procuring this version of covid-19. I'm assuming it's omicron. But in any case, my body has been battling to a draw thus far.
Today my fever spiked at 103°.. but now I'm back down to 97 tolerable degrees. But every day, this is the thing. It seems like I'm getting better, but then I am not.
The nurses here insist this is common, two steps forward, then two back. But I suppose most importantly, my oxygen level has been good the past two days.
I've had every symptom thus far, besides the loss of taste and smell. And I do feel as though most symptoms are steady or improving. So, a good outlook for me, but perhaps not for others.
Based upon a partial sample size, a substantial sum of residents AREN'T vaccinated. That's right, within this most vulnerable group over half of the residents in this wing alone, may not be vaccinated. I cannot share the specific details, but WOWWWW! Right? A lot of these people just aren't going to make it.
Note: my roommate is still alive.
Anyway, it's best that I have this now, before the whole building is stricken. I am getting dedicated attention.
This is all I got at the moment. My biggest problem overall is that my GI system shutdown four days ago. Everything, everywhere, is stuck. And all of the excess pressure is exiting through my feeding tube stoma.. along with content. So I cannot feed. At all. However, I'll be okay once everything re-engages. I've just got to find a way to trigger something.
To be honest, I've been struggling a fair amount. But I've also received great support from a number of people, in here, and out there.
Take care,
Howard
