I got covid from my husband who got it at work. I got the kind that caused me to have pneumonia. I spent a total of 10 days in the hospital. Thankfully, I did not need a ventilator but I did have some oxygen. It left me very weak. I had visiting nurses and visiting PT’s for a month. I used a walker for about 3 months. It was a slow recovery. My husband had the kind of body aches and loss of smell and taste. He was better after 2 wks. It was hard going through it but the Lord really protected my kidney throughout it. I was thankful to get antibodies and I’ll find out Tuesday if I’m still positive. I’m hesitant to get the shots because I have painful neuropathy in my feet and I don’t want it to get worse. It was a hard experience but I’m glad it turned out well. I’m hopeful you won’t ever get it. God bless. ❤️
