My wife came down with the C19 virus, most likely by assuming her vaccination was sufficient while spending a significant amount of unmasked time with an associate who wasn’t vaccinated, doesn’t agree with masking, and had two young adult sons with an infection. (Both the mom & dad got their butts kicked when they became infected, waited too long to seek treatment, and no longer qualified for the infusion even though both are high risk due to weight.)
After prompt antibody infusion, my wife’s fever broke within 24 hours and recovery was going well until Monday when she had a mild stroke that appears to be C19 blood clot related. In the hospital now, waiting on test results, but noticeably improving.
Since her recent setback, I have heard from “no vax, mask rights” folk with what I think are words of sympathy. But it is hard to be sure since their rectum is muffling their words. YMMV
Hope your wife recovers quickly and with no long term effects.
My wife works in a school district and got it within the first week that students were back. They had removed all the partitions, no virtual learning options and didn’t push back on the mask mandate restrictions.
We were both fully immunized since March. Luckily her infection appears to be very mild with flu like symptoms.
I’m now huddled up in the far end of the house. Since I’m self employed and work from home that has been an additional hassle. So far I have not caught it but the home self-test kits are getting hard to find.
Hope your wife recovers, it looks like the vax is doing it’s job if she just gets a mild case. I never expected it to be a perfect shield, but like the flu vax, if I do get it it would be a mild form. Asking doctor about the booster because of co-morbidities and I got jabbed in January so it it’s been 7+ months.
Brought my wife home today. Multiple minor strokes evident from the MRI. Fortunately minor and she is showing great improvement with significant right side control and strength returning. Potential causes are leaning more to a complication with her medicines, but whether that was compounded by her COVID infection is probably unknowable. The hospital had planned to run a special echo procedure today, but pulled the plug because of her extremely recent and continuing positive COVID status. Seems something like 25% of patients who have this procedure while still positive for COVID need a ventilator in recovery. Baylor Grapevine has no ventilators nor ICU rooms available, so not going to take the risk of causing a problem they have no way to treat. Just one more reason COVID sucks right along with ill-informed US citizens and a whole raft of political “leaders”.
