Title: Found out I have covid-19 yesterday
Post by MMRanch on 02/19/21 at 19:19:50

Yea

I was having a medical drug reaction and was expecting to get a coradozon shot and go back home.
Dr.said it was Stevens-Johnson Syndrome , and while  checkking in for a hospital stay, they did a covid-19 test ... It was positive... I had no idea!  :-?

'Bout 4 years ago you got a case of red leg, which all is beginning to sound about like the same same in the way that it affects you.    Onset timing is similar, too.   Very early spring .....

I suspect we all have some amount of Covid 19 running around in each of our airways ----- it is an airborne virus for crying out loud, very similar to flu or common cold virus.   You can get it from a cough micro droplet that landed on a hard surface two hours ago (ergo the hourly hand washing thing they try to get you to do).

Your wife will make sure you try to take care of yourself ........    let her, she will be unhappy else-wise.

I will get my second Covid shot next week, and after I get over the reactions it will bring I will then join the 10's of thousands who carry the Covid virus around in me while getting more and more careless about masks and hand washing and all that other stuff that slowed the spread earlier.

:P

I would get a few more tests ! You take care MM.

Get another test, the CDC test that takes a few days, not the quick test.

Title: Re: Found out I have covid-19 yesterday
Post by Dave on 02/20/21 at 09:32:18

I saw a report that said there is a 40% error rate in the tests - both positive and negative results.

Get better MM.....multe-day riding weather is only a couple months away!

Hope you have a mild case and get back to normal ASAP.

My wife & and I have been participating in a Covid19 study for almost a year now.  The survey always asks if I want to share the app with friends, but I always get flubbed up and can never figure out how to send the thing off on my iPad.  What can I say, it's an old guy thing.

The study is tracking participants trying to learn more about spread in the community, age groups, underlying conditions, etc.  It takes like 30 seconds to complete the survey each day.  It should help put an end to this scourge and prove the effectiveness of the vaccine & treatments.

If any of yoozguys are interested, you can download the app from your app store.  It's free.  You can search "Covid Symptom Study" from Massachusetts General Hospital.

Get well soon MM.

Mask up, wash up, stay safe, stay well.

MM sorry to hear you are not well. Please take car of yourself, listen to the doctors and listen to your wife. Both of those diseases can be pretty bad. Please keep us posted. Will be praying for you.

Hi guys

So , I spent Thursday through Saturday afternoon in the hospital for  with the Stevens-Johnson stuff .    
At the on-set I started taking 50 mg of Benadryl every 6 hours , that was 6 days before I decided it was a loosing battle and went to the ER on Thursday.
Come to find out the hospital gave me 50 mgs of Benadryl every 8 hours plus anti-biotics in the I V .
I'm still loosing skin on my hands and face in the form of little blisters but the swelling has gone down and the deep redness has faded to just new skin red.    It itches like "Wake me when its over" !  :-[

I still haven't had any Corvid 19 systems  and next Tuesday when the health clinic opens up me and Marcia are both going to be tested.   I'm not fully convinced I've got it .  
On Feb. 1st I got my first Merina vaccine and to get the second one on March 1st.  

Mean-while we're quarantined

At lunch Saturday the Dr. came by and I got him to agree that I could dress the blisters just as well at home as I could in my hospital room.   So he said come back if it starts getting worse again.    I said " sounds good to me "  ;).

Thanks for the Prayers guys !   :)

Mike:

Let me know if you want me to come down and do anything.   I know Marcia can take care of the dogs and cats - but setting out hay for the cattle may not be something that either of you can do right now.


Title: Re: Found out I have covid-19 yesterday
Post by MMRanch on 02/21/21 at 06:37:50

That's mighty nice of ya to offer Dave.    

We have had six parts of my down-payment on my next bike pop-up in the herd in the last three weeks.   There should be about 6 more parts pop out in the next month too .   All them bike payments running around in the field tends to make the moma cows extra hungary.  

The hard part of dealing with the Steven-Johnsons stuff is dealing with the itching .    I've seen pictures of other folks with it all over their body's.   Its only on my hands , arms , and a little on my face.    The only cure I've found so far is "Dis-traction" and Oral-Gel.    I'm going through a lot of Oral-gel !  ::)

.......................

OldFeller , that was fifteen years ago when I retired from work after the first round with "The Red Legg" .
Time flies for sure !

I can't help but wonder if "winter depression" has anything to do with a lot of illnesses this time of year ?    :-?

Maybe a lack of Vitamin D as well........it is supposed to help with you immunity.  They are finding that folks who have a proper amount of Vitamin D are more resistant to Covid - and those with a deficiency have more severe cases of Covid.

  I m out of the loop regarding the inside jokes but if you all need anything to help MM, or any of you out for that matter let me know.

It was a for real offer with just a little tease at MM. He knows between the pokes we are sincere. Marcia is also the sweetest host when we visit and we’d do anything for them both.

Thanks Guys ,

I'd leave all of you something in my will if I knew what ya wanted ?  .  ;)

but

Ya might have to wait a while , because I'm, feeling fine !   :)

I'm going for the second Madera vaccine on March 1st , plus have the virus now ... so ... I should be safe to be around by time warm weather gets here.
...................

Yea Stew , I did marry well didn't I !  8-)
........................

I never had a temp over 98.? , or had a cough , or any other symptom of the virus ...

Except maybe feeling laze ... not sure I could blame that on a virus
anyway ?  ;D  

................

If it works out for us to have a Dragon run this year , then remember my  place is only 5 hours west of the Dragon itself .   I've got one full bed , two twin beds , a couch , and four recliners to sleep in/on .    
Then there is a local country store that has the best breakfast prices that can be found .
Plus
There is enough back-roads here to keep us rolling for a day or two if we wanted to .

............................

Springman and Lancer ,   for you fellers (and others west of the Mississippi)  my house is a natural stopping point on the way toward the Dragon/Pig-pen-Gap area.
My AF Son is coming home on leave from the middle of March till the 2th of April .    
By then the nights in North Ga. should be warm enough for a nice long visit .
Then on toward the last of April-first of May I'd like to go visit YouzGuyz and see the Hill-Country Bloom again.
I hope that staying home last year has everybody ready to jump on any ride possible this year.  :)

Remember when you were up here MM....and I showed you I had added an electric outlet and heater in my little trailer?

Last year it as a bit cold in my trailer when the overnight temperature dropped to 37 and I had to crawl out of my sleeping bag - but this year I will be ready!  The camp sites over by the bridge at Two Wheels of Suches have electric outlets and I can power up my little heater!

I'm with MM, I'm ready for more riding. This unusual weather has me waiting for nearly 2 weeks now for the petcock I ordered for the Honda. Been doing a bit of riding on the S40 but it needs some wrenching also once we have a nice warm weekend. I've come to the conclusion that prefer the S40 in the slow to medium speed drives. But you just cannot beat having the extra power of the Honda when on the highway. It really doesn't matter though, I just love riding.

It looks like March is just too darn early to go to Suches.....the month looks reliably wet with only a few warm and sunny days.  Mid to late April looks to be far more agreeable with daytime temps in the 60-70 range - the night time temps can still drop down into the 40's or high 30's.


One winter night a few years ago I challenged myself to sleep in the trailer on a 10 degree night.  With lots of blankets and warm pajamas I was able to stay comfortable all night - the windows and walls were covered with frost from my breath.  The little heater and a slightly open window could sure help to keep the humidity from building up inside.


The new wiring scheme has a 350 watt heater, 110 outlet....and 2 USB charging ports!

JOG ask :   What are the symptoms?

...........................

JOG , I haven't had any symptoms of Covid-19 , I was at the hospital with what I thought was a rash/allergy .   Turns out it was Steven's Johnson Syndrome , and I'm still dealing with it.
Part of getting admitted into the Hospital involved getting a Covid test.   It came back positive !  (to my surprise ). ???

You known anybody else who has dealt with it ?

My neighbors got it.  He had flu-like symptoms and a fever that kept jumping between 98 -102 and he just felt weak and tired, and it was over in 4 days.  When he got tested it came back positive so his wife got tested - she showed antibodies....which shows she brought it home but never had any symptoms and never knew she had it.  Neither of their 2 boys (10 and 19) never had any symptoms and they have not been tested.

A fellow at work got it and had a fever, lost his sense of smell/taste, and he was tired.  It lasted 3 days for him.

Although most of the folks we know had similarly minor issues - we had 2 church members die after contracting Covid.  Both of them were older (mid 70's) who had other serious health problems that made them inherently weak before the Covid.

So for now, we can all hope it's a false positive.

Well ,
.I went to the health dept. on the 23rd and got tested .   Today I found the results :    

I'm still positive
Marcia is Negative

We've been socially distancing since the Stevens Johnson syndrome for two weeks now ... so we'll continue with the social distancing for a while ...

But

That just goes to show that two people in the same house can test different ???   :-?

Title: Re: Found out I have covid-19 yesterday
Post by MMRanch on 03/01/21 at 18:49:39

Thanks for asking Springman .

The blisters on my hands and arms are just about gone .  

I'm going to my reg Dr. in the morning to see if we can make sure it don't happen again .

Today , I got the SECOND VACCINATION (yey  :) )   , while chatting with the  nurse , she said :
     The Moderna Vaccine and regular Aspirin can cause Steven's Johnson Syndrome.   She pulled it up on her computer for me on the spot , said she wanted to double check it so she did.  
Well , I did take a couple of aspirin at bed time that night so I could get sleep instead of the Old Bones keeping me awake .     I'll ask the Dr. about it in the morning ???  

Either way , this mess is just about behind me and I'm virus proof now.
