    Default I'm back ... from the brink of death Covid 19

    I went into hospital on Aug.25th, 2020 spent 4 weeks in INTENSIVE CARE on ventilator. Woke up with exploded brain, and couldn't even get out of my bed. It took me a while to remember how to use my phone or even remember where I lived/my address. I lost 60 lbs, Hospital food SUCKS!!! Spent next 3 months hopping from 4 different therapy hospitals. My wife broke me out of the last one just in time for Christmas.

    I had it in February. It’s the worst I have felt in my whole life, but I was lucky enough like you to make it through. The effects are still within my body, particularly in the lungs. Take care and be well.

    Glad to hear that you're recovering! I had it in the early part of 2020, it put me down for 5 weeks. Didn't go to the hospital but it was no fun. Rest up, don't get to working on the Spyder right away, it'll be a while before ryding season!

    Glad to hear you are on the mend, and will get back to spydering again. By the way, during your brain explosion, do you remember borrowing $500 from me?

    No, why? There are more reports from the CDC that the virus was in the country as far back as September 2019.
