Covid wrecked him so hard that he ended up in a coma and when he wokeup all of his limbs ended up paralysed. Finally after 7 months of being in hospital he can almost walk again, but he still can't move his hands at all. Nurses have to spoon feed him. He still has trouble breathing and is fatigued most of the day.

He is 43.

But remember kids, the death rate point something percent or something!

The stroke ward was the only place equipped to handle him, basically. You have someone who is still of sound mind but can't move, go to the toilet independently or feed himself.

Stories like this are making me take it easy until the bug I have goes away. I may have Lambda or I may just have pneumonia or flu. My guess is that I have pneumonia+Lambda. I moved (my home) last month and it was hot so I thought my sweating was due to the heat. I caught up on my sleep and the sore muscles and the bruises have gone away but the bug remains and every so often I break into a sweat.

I am drinking hot tea and when I finish the Alishan Oolong I will look for the Big Red Robe Oolong. I was drinking Silver Tip Oolong (my fave) but the Alishan seems to be doing more for me.

I do not even have the drive to turn on my PlayStation. I am so close to getting the Verum Rex trophy.

Is your subjective experience and the meaning you took out of it supposed to be convincing me of something?

Talked to a patient yesterday who just got out of the hospital after 49 days due to COVID. It basically destroyed his lung and he now has to walk around on supplemental oxygen.

But he's like 60, so I guess that means he was basically dead anyway or something...

That would require you to have a brain and a soul.

36 year old covid survivor here. Lungs are scarred to the point I may need a transplant in the future. Cant work in my field as its too physical. Had to get an office job starting at the bottom since my work history doesnt help me there (despite literally running a business beforehand).

You know how much it sucks to have to take a job paying less than half what I made before, specifically because covid fucked my lungs?

it's always the "I'm confident nothing will happen to me" who end up being the worst whining candy asses when they catch even moderate sicknesses.

I think you mean anecdotal experience (since this is just the thing that happened to him) and its a cautionary tale to consider beyond the mortality rate of covid when you make your own risk assessment.

You had an emotionally gripping post, then you end on the equivalent of a cocky AlTeRnAtInG LeTtErs troll response. Seriously, treat it with the gravity it deserves. Not everything is an opportunity to give the other guys the middle finger. <_<

34 here, my heart was enlarged and had water around it, and as I've stated a bunch of times here it also left me with ED that so far is not responding to treatment.

Please get vaccinated for your own safety and the people around you.

Oh yeah, I've lost 30 lbs, got my blood pressure under control, went on testosterone, viagra, and cialus.

Lil guy just ain't cooperative. Thankfully my girlfriend is angelically patient with it.

Pretty done trying to reach out to the other guys to form some kind of dubious middle ground tbh, it's more fun this way

my uncle's boss is afraid of the shot (listening to republican lies aren't helping) and fear of enclosed spaces. really taking a huge risk on a daily basis just takes 1 infected person to spread it.

cant even tell who's infected.

even the shot prevents the worse of covid (enough where it's a mild-moderate cold) with the delta variant.

They haven't really offered an explanation yet. So far they've just given me prescriptions and told me to be healthier and hopefully that will fix it. I noticed that it got harder to masturbate after the covid, but didn't really think anything of it. I got into a relationship this spring after a long dry spell and that's what really showed how bad the problem was. The cardiologist said that it might be soft tissue damage, but that's the most explanation I've gotten so far. Eventually I will get a referral to urology and I'm assuming that's when we'll start addressing the fact that the chemical solutions aren't really helping.

Hot damn Viagra gives me hella heartburn though.

Barely. If I stop focusing for just a second, instant flaccid. Or if I move or stand. Takes forever to finish too. Half an hour sometimes.

This is almost the beginning to Hard to Kill.

Did he do a training montage where he relearns all of his martial arts skills?
