I am in the E.R.

[diakonos]

Due to my symptoms I have to be seen in the tent outside. This is to prevent any potential COVID exposure to anyone inside.

Good morning from Northwest Arkansas

[coksiw]

Oh man God bless you and help you to recover quick whatever it is.

[diakonos]

Oh man God bless you and help you to recover quick whatever it is.

I don’t feel too bad. I had to come in to get a dr. to give time off until it passes or I would be released from my job.

Anyone coughing, sneezing, fever,,,, is no longer eligible for employment.

[diakonos]

They just stuck a swab up my nose. Burns oh so bad. Yuck.

[diakonos]

Was quite worse this morning. Throat was swollen and sore. Bad cough.

[diakonos]

I was just told that the 2 hbp meds I’m on are not to be prescribed together.

[jediwill83]

Geez Im really sorry man.

[Esaias]

Sorry to hear about that. Will be praying for you.

[diakonos]

Thanks

[Amanah]

Praying for fast recovery.

[Pressing-On]

Praying for you!!!

[diakonos]

P.A. doesn’t think it’s COVID. Wants me to take 2 weeks off.

X-ray shows possible pneumonia.

[n david]

Praying for you.

[mfblume]

Feel better, we pray!

[diakonos]

Pneumonia and back to work on Tuesday.

[Esaias]

Pneumonia and back to work on Tuesday.

What happened to the 2 weeks off?

Sounds like walking pneumonia.

Vitamin c and d3. Sit in bathroom with shower of full hot and steam in there as long as you can. Or boil water in a pot and breathe the steam as much as you can take it. My wife had walking pneumonia and cured it that way, years ago. :thumbsup

I've had walking pneumonia before. Took extra C and D3 like Esaias said, also did breathing exercises and made sure not to lay on my back too much.

Add some fresh eucalyptus plant to the shower if you can get some. Your lungs will sing. Otherwise, 100% pure essential oil of eucalyptus in a diffuser while you sleep will work well, too.

[diakonos]

Funny. I just stared C and d3 this week.

[diakonos]

Well... a week ago

[Michael The Disciple]

Vitamin C and D3. Continue with them. Been praying for you.

[diakonos]

Thanks

[Freeindeed]

Praying for a quick recovery.

[hometown guy]

Hope you get well soon in Jesus name!

[Esaias]

Well... a week ago

Vitamin C requires 1-2 grams every 1-3 hours until bowel tolerance, then maintain slightly less than that every couple of hours. Vit c does not stay in the system, hence the need for continuous dosing.

D3 takes a bit to build up in the system, 5-10 grams per day in single doses.

[james34]

God bless, prayers for healing.

[MawMaw]

Lifting you in prayer for a speedy recovery!

[KeptByTheWord]

Praying you feel better quickly!

[diakonos]

I am sitting at the drive thru clinic. The cough doesn’t go away. So, I have to request more time off of work.

I am not getting worse. But it doesn’t seem to be improving. Kinda just lingering.... costing me $$. :foottap

Praying. It is a good opportunity to thank him. When we do that, we are saying we completely trust that He is going to take care of us. You have that much faith.

Yes!

[diakonos]

Was swabbed for COVID. Off until results are in.

[CC1]

Funny. I just stared C and d3 this week.

Don't just stare at it man! Take it!!!!!


Praying for your healing. What you are going through sounds miserable. Plus the mental strain of lost wages on top of everything.

[diakonos]

Yes, that is worse than pneumonia.

[diakonos]

Results are in. Negative for covid. I was told that I need to continue self quarantine through Friday. *shrugs*

[mfblume]

Woohoo! Least it's not COVID.

[n david]

Woohoo! Least it's not COVID.
That hospital is now out $40K ...

His insurance is going to be billed $0 for the test and $40K for administrative fees.

I went to a federally funded clinic.

Man oh man!!!! Insanity!

(Glad I live in Canada for things like this.)

Ah, Canada. Where you have a 2 year wait for a personal doctor, and can spend an entire day in the E.R. and still not get help. Gotta love that socialized medicine.

More fake news

[Jito463]

Not according to some Canadians (and at least one former Canadian).

I’ve known Canadians who where very pleased with their healthcare. Anyway... that’s a topic for another thread.

I’m getting restless here at the apt. I want to get back to work.

[Steven Avery]

Wish you well, Diakonos, in Jesus name!

And I am surprised about how this was handled, often they look for any excuse to covid-ize the patient.

Looking ahead, if they ask for "permission" to do intubation, or ventilator, generally the recommended answer is no. There are other methods of oxygenation that are far less problemation, and far less invasive. A nurse and a doctor in the NYC area have spoken out about this problem.

How do you covid-ize a patient that doesn’t have covid?

[Esaias]

In the wuhan scandemic thread I have several posts dicumenring forged corinavirus diagnoses. It's happening quite a lot.

[KeptByTheWord]

Glad it wasn't the covid... thankful for that, and will pray that you get better soon, and able to get back to work!

[diakonos]

Final update: I return to work tomorrow
