My condolences to you and your family.
Condolences @ChoatieMom . Be extra kind to yourself. Death is always hard, but even more so during these times.
@ChoatieMom Sending hugs and condolences from here too. Absolutely no one goes on a cruise expecting to catch something, live in hell from it, and then die from it. I can only imagine the “what ifs” that have gone on in your family since then.
May you all have some sense of peace from knowing it wasn’t bad decisions. No one could have foreseen it then. What we know now wasn’t even thought about at that time.
Still… sending hugs for the sadness and wishing the result could have been different. The fact that no one could have foreseen it doesn’t ease the pain of loss. IME nothing can. Time can dull it eventually, but it never erases it. My heart goes out to you and your family.
@ChoatieMom so sorry for your loss.
@ChoatieMom — so sorry for your loss. Please be kind to yourself.
It’s literally close to home for me. More like in my neighbourhood. Kind of worried I might catch the coof.
So sorry for your loss, @ChoatieMom.
So sorry for your loss, @ChoatieMom. Deepest condolences.
And your DS is stationed at Ft. Gordon, yes? Or was it Ft. Benning?
So, sorry for your loss, @ChoatieMom
So very sorry, @ChoatieMom. What a tough loss to go through. Peace to you and your family.
He’s at Ft. Gordon, @jym626. And thanks again, everyone, for your kind wishes.
So sorry for your loss ChoatieMom. That is just terrible and sad.
Interesting, @ChoatieMom. I was in Augusta in January and February, and I think I contracted the virus there. I have no proof that I had it or that I got it there … but my gut says yes to both. I was visiting my in laws, and I went to a lot of stores, running errands.
Got some good news today : My BIL’s brother (late 50s,lives in France and suffers with leukemia) , who has been on a ventilator since April 2, was finally removed from the vent yesterday; he is breathing on his own, with the assistance of oxygen
One of my lads told us about a tribute a college peer in his major posted today. Her father just passed away from Covid. I relayed my sympathy to him, but inside it gave me the shivers. It could just as easily been him posting the tribute which would have meant H had passed away.
Who lives and who doesn’t has a big luck of the draw factor.
The older brother of one of my close friends is disabled and lives in a nursing home in our area. He’s around 60. He tested positive earlier this week and was hospitalized Tuesday. He’s out now and doing OK. Scary, because he has a lot of other medical issues.
Its so interesting to see (wish we could understand why) some people have a comparatively “lighter” case, or are even asymptomatic and others are ravaged by it. My friend’s BIL, who was symptomatic dor 2 weeks before being hospitalized March 15 as one of the first COVID+ in his area and is still in ICU tested positive AGAIN (second positive after a negative about a week and a half ago). So either the negative was a false negative, or he has gotten it again, or it is still in his system almost 2 mos after he first got sick.
I am on Day 19 of a daily temperature that peaks around 3 pm of 99.6 or .7 - pressure in the chest is less, no nausea after the first week, and I only cough a little. In my county I cannot get tested even with expanded testing. I may drive over one county where Mayo has an outpost because they will test anyone.
My daughter is still trying to get an actual visit with a health care provider rather than a virtual visit. I’m sorry but no virtual visit is going to be able to listen to her lower lungs and figure out why she still has pain there all day five weeks after she got sick. She is finally feeling as frustrated as I am and is ready to start pushing. She prides herself on being tough but her dad helped her realize that her career is at risk if her lungs are permanently damaged.
I’m all for more testing, for epidemiological reasons, but I’m not always sure how it helps an individual. @“Snowball City” if you did get tested and discovered you were positive for COVID-19, what would you do that you’re not doing now?
It’s more that if I test negative, I could be in the same room with my husband. I miss him.
