    Rona got me on Dec 31, 2020.

    Covid-19 and 2020 just could not let me have a good year in 2021. Got a positive test on the 31st. Had to run to the ER today because my SpO2 dropped to 76. Get there and it was 96-100, they did a chest X-ray and it was clear. So they sent me home.

    76 is certainly a bad thing!

    Hope things get better from here!

    May God bless you and you have a speedy recovery!

    Hang in there, my wife and I are still on the mend. It started with my wife thanksgiving week, she still has no sense of taste or smell. It’s a slow process to get rid of the rona.

    Sheesh hope you all get well SOON!! I had radiation to my neck and throat years ago which took out my taste buds, saliva glands, thyroid, and it was years before I got back the 45% or so of my sense of taste that came back, I know what you are going through losing the ability to taste and it's horrible.

    My wife and I both had the rona back in August. I developed pnuemonia as well. The initial symptoms went away fairly quickly but the taste and fatigue lasted quite a while. Wishing you the best during your recovery.

    I hope you recover quickly!

    I had it in March. I got lung damage from it and ain't worked since March. Dr says I'm disabled cause I caint do nothing without being so winded I have to rest. I can walk around a store only for about half an hour before I'm winded so bad I need to rest. I get winded and then I can't think. Got nodules in my lungs big as my thumb. Guess we'll see if I can actually get disability, since it ain't got better like they said it would. Give it a few weeks then a few months, then give it six months they said.
