I can fully Empathize with your friend Native.
Many of you know that I was at deaths door myself during COVID. In hospital, on oxygen, drips all over the place, and the pain was just so bad. Multiple blood clots and severe infection.
The worst part was that I wasn't getting better in the first few days, and that's when everyone, including myself thought I was going to die.
They couldn't keep my oxygen levels up and my blood pressure kept dipping to dangerously low levels.
But I did eventually get better.
Unfortunately that is when, after all the numerous X rays and scans they found not one, but two underlying lung diseases. A condition called CPFE.
I fully believe that it was COVID that caused my hospital admittance but by the time I was actually admitted the tests were showing negative. This was before we were all given the lateral flow tests to do at home.
So from the first lockdown in march 2020 nothing much has changed for me since then.
My health continues to decline . I cannot walk and breathe. And any small virus, even the common cold will put me in hospital if it goes on my chest.
I go out probably 6 times a year.
Half of this is to go for my COVID/ flu/ pneumonia jabs or other medical appointments, and the other is to go to my son's to see my grandchildren.
The biggest outing I have had in 3 years was to see Pink in concert earlier this year.
It nearly killed me, but I did it.
So yes, it's fair to say my life has changed in every single way possible since COVID.
I look out of the window and see the same people walking up and down the street just the
same as I always did and they just look the same. Going to work, walking their dogs , posting a letter, going to the hairdresser's.....
And I can now do nothing that I used to do 3 years ago.
( Sorry for going on !!!!!!....)
