Christmas miracle! I am in recovery from my spinal surgery. It's been a rough road. ER 3 days after surgery. 5 days after, I had a sinus infection (urgent care). The incision was healing great. 22 staples taken out 2 weeks after. No issues.
And then somehow I got covid and bronchitis. What a terrible ride. Ended up in the ER again because my beautiful incision got worrisome after multiple very hot showers to help me breathe (thanks covid!)
Ended up moving into the hospital for 8 days. It was isolating and very hard, but has some solid nurses, techs, doctors, and FOOD. You can not say that about food at a hospital very often. Oh boy, was it good. And the snacks. Thank you, guys, for trying to get me home.
The covid made a mess of my platelets, and I was so dangerously low I needed 2 transfusions. Thankfully, I got a visit in the parking lot from my little one and got to go home on Christmas Eve.
COVID IS NO JOKE. AHHHH. Vaccinations are great, and please, for the love of all that is holy: FINISH YOUR ANTIBIOTICS.
