Been a member here since the early 2000s. In that time I’ve made very few serious posts. However, this one is as serious as they come.
I was sitting home watching the OU/OSU game in my recliner. At halftime, and out of nowhere, my body began to feel like someone was taking a baseball bat to every muscle and joint I had. Then I became so fatigue I could barely get out of the chair. I knew immediately that it was Covid.
Woke up the next day feeling even worse. Went to a parking garage at OU to get tested. Tested positive. From that point on I got worse and worse each day.
Ran a 102 temp for nearly 3 consecutive days. 100-101 the other days. Fatigue. Body aches. Fever. Diarrhea. Chest pain. Wheezing. Vomiting. Deep painful coughing. All of it.
All of the “ah, you just lose you sense of smell” and “it’s no big deal, you just feel a little hungover” bullshit I have been hearing was a total lie. This has been a living fvcking nightmare.
On Thanksgiving day I ran a 103 temp all day long. I made funeral plans with my wife. I don’t even remember doing this, but it happened. My poor wife. She’s the only thing that has gotten me through this.
I haven’t seen my kids since Sunday 11/22. I miss them so much. I’m stuck upstairs alone with the cold shakes and stomach pains that feel like shards of glass are tearing me apart from the inside. It is ungodly how bad this is.
Listen, I’m only telling you my story in hopes that at least one of you assholes will read it and pay attention. I didn’t give this thing the respect it deserved and it got me. I let my guard down one fvcking time and this is the outcome. This is on me. I’m an idiot.
Please don’t be stupid like I was. Stay home. Wear a mask and social distance when you have to leave your house. Take it from me, a 38 year old healthy man with zero underlying conditions. If you get the strain I got, you will feel a fear you’ve never felt before. You will pray to God more than you’ve ever prayed before. It will change you.
I’m still alive. I’m still fighting. Please listen to what I’ve said here and be smart. Especially right now. This shit is everywhere and it does not discriminate. I hope you all stay safe and healthy and live your lives to the fullest. Love you guys. Even the douchebags on here... love you guys too.
