Appreciate the information. Don't know where to post this PSA so here goes.

Was positive for C19 on 9/13. Last day in the office was 9/11. Spent 7 days in hospital and 2 were in ICU. No intubation but was considered as well as inquiries about DNR status. No doubt the infusion of C19 antibodies to be the life saver. Don't believe the R medicine to have been effective.

Remain on oxygen as lungs took a whipping. 02 levels were in the 70s. Purchase one of those 02 saturation fingertip things if concerned.

Am 64 and some change. Have opted for semi-retirement beginning this Friday. Wife believes she was the source - fortunately she had a mild course.

Will be happy to try to answer questions.

P.S. Proning is helpful but sitting up and crouching over is better...opens the back and lower reaches of one's lungs

So glad to hear you're coming out on the other side. Does "remain on oxygen" mean you're still on oxygen at home? Godspeed in your recovery.

Hopefully you continue to see a continued recovery as quickly as possible. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you're on the rebound. I'm curious given the difficulty you had - do you have any comorbidities that complicated your bout with C-19?

I feel sorry for you and for anyone else who has to go through what you've been through. I pray for your full recovery.

I'm interested in COVID issues related to blood types and to vitamin D sufficiency.

Do you know your blood type?

If you know, were you vitamin D deficient before getting sick? Did your doctors give you vitamin D?
