Getting covid 19 before it was covid 19
Description (Dublin Core)
In the beginning of January 2020. I got really sick so sick I was throwing up in my bed and defecating in my bed. This went on for 3 months I went to so many doctors and specialist and no one knew what was wrong with me. In April finally my PCP doctor he tested me for covid and I was positive I I end up going into kidney failure the levels of my kidneys was 28,900 if my fiance didn't call 911 the doctor said I would have died that day I was in the hospital for 12 days. And now I am suffering from short-term memory and that year when I was in 2020 I was at my post office that I go to a couple times a week and I had to call my fiance to ask how how to get home because I couldn't remember. Covid-19 ruin my life I got rhabdomyolysis my my left leg my skeleton muscles are deteriorating and I cannot get it back. I just turned 40 in May I was always in good shape and now I feel like I'm 80 years old if I'm walking far I have to walk with a walker. I hope people take this into consideration about how how covid could affect people because even if it doesn't affect you badly it can affect someone else badly it can kill someone. It's not that hard to put on a mask when you're in crowded places. I hope someone got something from this and thank you for letting me do this and thank you for reading.
