IN THE YEAR AFTER I HAD COVID On New Years’ Day 2021 I was taken by ambulance to Sparrow hospital. My oxygen saturation had fallen stupid low. I was admitted to the COVID ward. I’d been in the ER 36 hours earlier for IV fluids. A chest X-ray showed COVID pneumonia. I’d missed the 10-dayContinueContinue reading “My year of COVID recovery and my hope for you in 2022”

Notes from the COVID Ward
The day before Christmas Eve, Hubby started feeling like he was coming down with a cold. He stayed home from work and slept all day.

I retweet with the best on them over @snakeladylib, but not here.
