I'm a Strong Guy, But COVID-19 Nearly Took Me Out

I’m a pretty tough guy. I am 55 years old and can’t tell you the last time I got sick. I played football in high school, and I’ve worked hard to stay fit since then: I work out an hour and a half a day, bench press 350 pounds, run 10 miles at a time, and eat healthy.nearly took me out. This virus almost killed me. It took me to the brink of death, and I still can’t believe I came back.

I took it, but every day I got sicker and sicker. My fever was consistently 102 or 103 degrees. I had a headache like I’ve never had before. The pressure in my skull felt like my brain was about to explode. The body aches were horrible, and they weren’t just regular body aches. My bones, muscles, joints and even my toenails actually hurt! Literally. The pressure of the blanket on my feet hurt my toenails.

I fought with the hospital staff to lay still because it was the only way to reduce my pain. But they insisted that I needed to move so the pneumonia in my lungs wouldn’t crystallize. Just sitting up was nauseating though and took so much effort I would sweat through my sheets. I’m a tough guy, but I was alone and sick, and I just didn’t feel like I could battle this virus.

I’m home now, recovering and feeling a lot better, although I still don’t have much energy and the cough is lingering. But my last coronavirus test, about 10 days ago, was still positive, and it’s not easy to get tests here where I live. So I’m just saying home and continuing to self isolate. I’ll do that for at least 14 days after my symptoms go away.

🙏🙏🙏 Please HIGHEST STANDARDS OF SAFETY controls Fir everyone's HEALTH N LIFE Pray 4 All Help All Many millions families would need kind support, long-term health issues of survivors Your out of self control acts, disregard of safety will help spread the KILLER VIRUS

😘

Sorry brother wish you speedy recovery.may our good Lord extend his healing powers to you and be healed in thy name Amen

People don't believe the virus exists in my area, hence they don't follow the simple safety protocols - hand washing, wear a mask, but mock those who do. They think it's a hoax invented by the government to hoodwink the people. Even in the face of the second wave, they don't care

Cuộc sống ơi! Mày chán tao chưa? CÒn tao chán mày lắm rồi đấyx

Praise god ❤️🙏🏽

ERshitmagnet Hey Kevin! Way to go!👏😷😁

joram_alvin Follow me and turn on my post notification I will follow back and do same🔵

Totally staged, you should know better!

Was becca smoker?

Kevin will regret coming back after getting the bill.

This article is from April 6th. I’m so glad this gentleman came out alive. But why scare so many others with this?

What was wrong with him in the first place

Yep, this thing is real.

This is from April. Why is this even here? Nothing is the same.

Yay! More fear mongering by the leftist activists disguised as a medical website.

Praying for you!!

Glory to God.

Nonsense

To Kevin. I am happy that you survived this deadly virus. Read your story & cried. Take KARE.

🙄🙄🙄pull through other one ..

WedMD - are you going to highlight the millions that are ill for a few days at most too?!

I am sorry to hear that 😔 I had it in December I was hospitalized to heart rate drop to 42 and to make it worse the ambulance refuse me service then I passed out etc.... Thank God 🙏 I'm here as to you to

I think my family is so sick of me sharing these stories but I think the more people that see them the better

What did they find out he had previously wrong with him that was not known.

अब मैं आपको बताऊँ कि इस कोरोना वायरस का एक व्यक्तित्व है और स्वयं का मस्तिष्क है। यह वही करता है जो इसे करना है, और प्रथम लक्षण से ही इसने मुझे यह बता दिया था कि वह अब यहाँ विद्यमान है किसी भी अन्य अनुभव से अलग है जो मैंने इससे पूर्व अब तक महसूस किए हैं।

Thank God for your recovery

Welcome back

These are the stories the media need to cover - not just deaths of older people.

Well then he’s like one of those out of shape 50 year olds that thinks he can join a game of shinny and drops dead because he doesn’t realize he’s completely out of shape. Some of the most out of shape people are the ones who insist they’re tough.

Get well, you can do it

You're an overcomer

Good health to you

orucfarm I hope he will recover soon 🙏🙏

Scientist whistleblower inside Dr. Fauci's realm tells all. Please watch. The real story behind the coronavirus.

Come on ! Baby get well quit and out of this bed soon!!!

God bless 🙏

I saw his story when it happened and have thought about him ever since. He was one of the first cases in Ohio and i am so thankful to hear he survived and is recovering

So what is his underlying health condition?

Sounds like it was one hell of a nightmare.

Omg so scary 🙏🏻

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Scary! I’m so glad this man is getting better.

Continued prayers for complete healing!

Jerry Falwell Jr reopens Liberty University, 12 students quickly display COVID-19 symptomsLast week, evangelical pastor Jerry Falwell Jr. ordered his students and staff back to Liberty University. Now, at least 12 students are displaying coronavirus-like symptoms. Falwell is not anything close to a pastor or minister, and he’s said so repeatedly. I’ve said so repeatedly as well, and gotten blocked by Falwell for my efforts. Please be accurate in your reporting. The vast majority of pastors are urging folks to WorshipAtHome and StayHome. Hes a fake and a conman He may have thought God will take care of everything. I tell everyone it is science that will rule the day. You can pray until the cows come home but I will put my vote on science. If prayer gives one comfort great, not everyone is religious but that is ok.

New York AG leads coalition to stop Texas abortion ban during COVID-19 pandemicNew York Attorney General Letitia James talks to Alicia Menendez about leading a multi-state coalition challenging Texas' abortion ban during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has already been overturned and re-instated by federal courts. I am a nurse. We cx ALL elective surgeries bc of the risk of Covid transmission from person to person, and to decrease the surgical patient and HC worker exposures. Is this considered elective or an emergency? How is this not a public health risk with the pot for death to many? wow What the hell Roe vs Wade Case has anything to do with Covid-19?
