I can not remember if I updated or not.
But after 5 days in the hospital, and another week at her house recovering, my girlfriend has tested negative now, and we are happily enjoying being together again.
The hospital told her that they thought she had a small stroke, and sadly I can see that, she is not quite as sharp as she was.
I am just so glad that she is back, and loving life again.
And downvote me all you want, but here is my personal view on the vaccine:
Any new drug advertised on tv has a whole lot of possible side affects listed. I have not seen any of those, all I have seen was someone that had a shell fish allergy going on had died, and I have that same allergy.
I am way out there, but I have Cat Scratch Disease, shell fish allergies, low sugar, and other stuff.
My 77 year old Mom has a appointment for her first shot, but she is in great shape, she only has short term memory issues, she is in awesome shape!
Me: with all the weird stuff I have going on I am terrified of any drug. Maybe 3 times a year I need some Pepto Bismol.
Any pain pill that any doc or dentist gives me I have to break it and take a tiny bit of it, I just can not do drugs.
The worst pains I have had, one Alieve pretty much takes care of it, and I have not had any pill for pain in 3 years now, and the last was for dental work.
I am not normal, I know that I am not normal, so I am terrified of any drug.
(also forgot I am allergic also to most anti-biotics)
For me, just staying away from everyone, and being careful when I have to go to the store has worked wonders, I have never been sick with even a cold.
I just plan to do that the rest of my life, I never cared for crowds anyway.
Some people joke about the flu was killed by Covid, well, that is kind of true because people stayed distanced, and careful.
And the whole time my girlfriend was being careful, but her Mom is not, and brought that crap to her.
If I do decide to get vaccinated, I think I prefer the Johnson and Johnson one shot from what I have read.
But at the same time, hell no if just some casual drug store or something.
With the weird problems I have, I am more afraid of what something may do to me, that if I just stay away I would be fine anyway, and I want real doctors around to help me, if I do take the shot and have problems.
(and I can not even take regular vitamins anymore, I can no longer digest them and they make me very ill. I have to use gummies now for most, and crush the rest into a powder).
And for the record, I am not anti anything. I am just very different, and worried.
I have Cat Scratch Disease, I have had it for around 8 years now, and I am told I will always have it. The low blood sugar I have had for 35 years now. I have learned to deal with all that over time, I am not contagious, and now that I stay isolated I am in a lot better shape.
(the cat stuff messes up your immune system, and causes you to easily catch anything going around), best I can tell anyway, but what do I know? I am partly blind because of all that.
I hope the 6 foot thing is always a thing now, so that I never get sick with anything again.
And I am so glad that my girlfriend made it, even she says many times she thought that she could not hold on.
