Coscar, glad you survived.
Did you receive any of the medicines we hear about on the news?
Was there one you think was especially helpful?
Was your case so severe because you are elderly?
I hope you get some support, old, trouble walking, and home alone sounds very difficult.
My heart goes out to you.
Coscar: I’m glad you made it back from the brink. Hang in there, and keep at it.
Thank you for sharing your experience in this thread - I hope your advice is taken to heart by everyone reading it.
Glad to hear you made it through all that. Sounds terrible. Still there are people denying this thing is real.
Wow… Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, and we’re all really glad you survived it. Best wishes for a full recovery, although I can imagine it will probably take time.
Covid is real, all right. And it has (according to numbers which I personally suspect are overstated) claimed almost 1/3 as many people this year as have been killed by cancer. It’s a virus worthy of respect.
The great majority have been people with other health problems, a situation that generally increases with age. Proper nutrition and exercise can contribute to a person’s ability to fight off a respiratory disease, but there’s no foolproof cure by any means. We all have an expiration date.
I have trepidation about physical suffering, but not about death.
Coscar, glad you pulled through. I can understand the desire you felt to give up (I’m a wuss about pain), but hope you’ll continue to get stronger now that you are out of the hospital.
Holy hell Coscar. I’m glad you survived. I wish you the best in the recovery.
Best wishes, Coscar.
Good luck in your (hopefully) full recovery, Coscar!
Seems to me that, if you’re going to compare cancer death numbers and Covid-19 death numbers this year, you can’t just compare the number of deaths from each that were recorded this year. Many of the cancer deaths this year occurred in individuals who contracted cancer in a previous year, while virtually all of the Covid-19 deaths in the USA have occurred in the same year that the virus was contracted (and death occurred much faster after the onset of illness or diagnosis than with cancer). After controlling for that difference, the death numbers from Covid-19 this year can be seen in a different light than simply saying they are “less than 1/3” the numbers for cancer this year.
Yup, and cancer isn't contagious.
Plus, the number of cancer deaths isn't skyrocketing in many areas like COVID-19 deaths are.
(Of course the only reason to compare the number of cancer deaths to COVID-19 deaths is to downplay COVID-19, and some people make that their mission in life. People without lives, that is.)
I really appreciate all of your well wishes…… probably more than you realize. I will try to update with any progress, but I have a feeling it could be slow from what my pulmanologist tells me. It seems it is different for everyone and I was very lucky to have survived. I remember wanting so bad to just give up but at this point Im glad I didnt. That being said, Im not sure I can adjust to my current situation if it does not at least slowly improve. Time will tell I guess. I dont believe in prayer but your encouragement means alot. Thank you 
I think you’re correct on all points. The cancer death rate has been declining in the USA since the early 1990’s.
Coscar, I hope you get well soon! Take care
Hey Coscar, can I ask if this is because the COVID did a number on your joints, or because your lungs aren’t giving you enough air to walk?
A cold spell that moved through the area, driving people indoors.
Hi Coscar,
glad to see you made it through and good luck with the recovery.
You probably couldnt be shagged I bet but if you could please, every now and then just drop in here and
let us know how you’re getting on.
Hang in there
Coscar, good to have you back, Scary experience. Seem like you have a road
ahead,
I don’t want to pry too much but beside wearing masks are there any lifestyle changes to recommend?
Were you able to have any family with you in the hospital? the staff in the hospital treat you well or they just did the bare minimum?
get well soon!
Coscar, very sorry to hear, but thank you for sharing. We all wish you the best, and hope you continue on to a full recovery.
Nothing will work except herd immunity.
