The Effects Of Covid At Home


source
The doctor mentioned the H- word which is not pleasant to visit under normal circumstances and now is the local hot spot for anything Corona related.

Another trip to the doctors today as things are just not quite right. The Covid seems to have gone finally as the doctor reckons we are now dealing with the damage it has left behind. Continuous head aches are not normal and ones that are still there even with powerful pain killers that numb everything else into submission.

My wife has been booked into hospital with Encephalitis which is the inflammation of the brain. It can be serious if not treated yet it just goes to show you what Covid is and it is real. Many pass it off as nothing, me included as it didn't affect me, but others are not so fortunate. This time it has attacked the nervous system and the brain which I could have guessed as her brain must be a weak link. Sick joke I know lol as this is no laughing matter ,but it bought a smile at least in the doctors room.

Luckily she has had Covid so going to the place that has it is not so bad I suppose even though they say you can get it more than once. The immune system has been shot to pieces and there is no choice knowing how serious this could become. Just to add the latest is the hospital is doing an MRI and have completed blood tests again for Covid and Meningitis of all things to be on the safe side. I don't think it will be either as I hope not as that would either be a 14 day or 21 day guaranteed stay in the hospital. The most I have done is 7 and couldn't imagine twice or three times that long.

Like an idiot I Googled it and it isn't overly pleasant with many various outcomes if not treated. I just find it weird that I thought we were out of the woods two weeks ago yet it has had the last laugh again this week. We are over 4 weeks now and it hasn't been the best ride we have been on, but a slow lingering process with many false hopes.

What baffles me is the doctors say it is the after affects of Covid yet in the same words they are saying they are learning as they go. Obviously they have had a few cases like this already and it is not something I even knew was happening. What are we being told as what other side effects are there?

Many around the World still brush it off as a hoax or fake news and I can assure you it is very real. All you need is to see it first hand and trust me you will wear the mask afterwards without any complaints. I just find it strange how many of us have had it without even realising yet others seem to get the kitchen sink and everything else thrown at them.

The hospital is closed for visiting purposes as that is a hot spot right now and the epicenter in the region for any Corona patients. Luckily we have private medical and it is not such a gamble compared to the government hospitals where everything is a gamble.

This year has been a super shitty one on all fronts and would like whatever other stuff that is going to happen just happen so next year can be something to look forward to. Unfortunately this is not going away any time soon and Christmas is just around the corner.

Wow, that is horrible. I hope they are able to figure something out for her and she is able to pull through okay. I can't imagine how helpless you must feel. Good luck to all of you!

I know one person who has had covid since last April, and is still suffering with after-effects of it. She was not in the best health when she got it, so that may be a factor in why she still has after effects. Covid is a nasty virus...
Probably about half the people who get it have little to no symptoms, but for the rest of the people who get it, it can really be difficult, or even deadly.
