Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
It's not only lung capacity, it can be other internal organs. In any case just keep an eye on yourself and your wife. Any unusual symptoms should be noted and watched. Your care provider or doctors are the ones to listen to and kept in the loop. My two cents from the peanut gallery.
Yes Sir! I am doing well now. I am up 5-7 mile hikes with my dog now and managed to go out and do some hunting but still taking it easy. Along with my other surgeries, my stamina, strength, and cardio are still not up to my usual health condition. Considering I am not supposed to be able to hunt this year, I am very please with my recovery,
Envy is an ugly thing
Great to hear you doing better brother!
Yes, we eat enough vitamins for breakfast! Same as you mentioned too.
Last fall I got this fella in the ER with shortness of breath. He was really working to breathe and I knew he was gonna peeter out. This was over one year ago. I figured him for covid and he came back positive. We managed to get him out of there without tubing him but shortly after his arrival to a level one ICU facility, they tubed him. Nice fella, one sick puppy. Mid 50's in age. Came into work the other day and I look over and he's in one of our trauma bays. He remembered I got him out of there and hollers at me. Remember he was one year out of his original acute episode. He could hardly talk to me he was working so hard to breathe again. Chest tube time. Got him settled down and breathing comfortably and we had time to talk a little. He has no memory of most of the past year. He was on a vent for 7 months from the time he was tubed and he was in the hospital until less than one month ago. They had to pull out all the stops just to keep him alive including rotating him on a stryker bed to allow his chest to expand as best it could. IV everything that could do anything to give this guy a chance to live. This poor guy has lost almost all of his lung function. He is on home O2 at up to 5 liters per cannula when he's doing well. This man has pretty much become a total invalid. I am sure that one of these days he is just going to go to hell in a hand basket and that will be it for him. He's a decent fella and I feel badly for him but it sure was nice to know that he remembered well of me after all he has been through. The point of this whole monologue is that this took a generally healthy 50 some year old and turned him permanently into a shell of his former self. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to whom will get this outcome. Where I work, we have seen healthy young people die and old infirm persons pull through it. So.... it is not BS. This is something you really don't want to see anyone get. As far as what I believe, I do not want to be responsible for passing this onto others. I have been lucky so far and so has my spouse. We are all vaccinated and boosted up and neither of us have gotten it. She retired this summer, she is a nurse, and I am going to hang it up at the end of this year....December 31st. I am so sick of dealing with this crap that I am almost to the point of pain just to go into work anymore. So take care of yourselves, the ones that you love, and think of others because it appears to me that this crap is just going to keep going around and around and keep changing itself for the worse. This outcome may not happen to you but is sure as hell could happen to anyone that you might give it to.
Well thank you and your wife for your work during this trying time. I take care of a family member that's been in and out of hospitals for the last decade. So I appreciate the work that both of you do. And empathize with stress that you both have endured.Last fall I got this fella in the ER with shortness of breath.

I do not mean to denigrate anyone at all, by telling the story of this person. I just want others to know that this could happen to anyone. And I agree with Varmint Hunter that "For the good of humanity, we need to work together to get this terrible scourge behind us."

Agreed. I went and seen the Doc last Friday 11 days after I got out of the hospital. One of the things we talk about was, I told him getting out of the house and getting some fresh air and going for a short walk or getting in the pickup to go see him or whatever, I told things weren't sitting wright. You know not sitting still ,jumping/moving.He told I have what they call Brain Fog. He said things should start to settle before to long. It's a slow process but I'm better than I was last Friday.Yes effects more than just your lungs. People don't think about but that oxygen level effects your blood stream that feeds all your organs .
Brother you must be tougher than a 3 dollar steak, after all the crap you have been through in the last couple years and you are still here kicking butt maybe not kicking as high but still kicking it best wishes on your recovery
