Covid hospital bills & recovery
On July 13th I began to get fevers, aches, pain, chills, diarrhea, loss of smell taste. Dr. thought it was the start bronchitis since Danny was confirmed with bronchitis. She said if the fever lasted more than a week to come back. On the 19th my fever hit the 4 day of being super high 104.7 so I went back to the doctor. I was barely able to breath. I was using my Asthma pump every few hours. Just walking to the bathroom would be a struggle and I wouldn't be able to breath. I was finally given a covid test and it came back positive on July 19th.
On the 17th Jaylyn started a fever also. Thank God it stood low! She also tested positive for covid.
I continued to quarantine to keep the rest of the family safe. Still not feeling well and having a hard time breathing I went back to the doctor. Breathing was so painful and it was very shallow. Went to see the doctor and I tested positive still. The finally took X-rays and found I had bilateral pneumonia. I was immediately sent to the hospital where I was admitted with Covid pneumonia, which apparently is different from regular pneumonia.
While in the hospital I was having pains in my leg and had a CT and sonogram of my legs and lungs. I was found to have elevated markers for blood clots due to the covid as well. I was in the hospital for 3 days.
I'm home, stable, on blood thinners & steroids and slowly getting better but the doctors say the recovery will be slow and will take up to 6 weeks. I'm still quarantined from my family and it is nerve wracking being sick.
This is my second hospital stay this year and although I do have insurance I still have wracked up medical bills from my 1st hospital stay for my blood pressure & bell's palsy that my insurance doesn't cover and I have already gone through all of my FSA for our medical. This hospital stay will be another burden I really won't be able to take care of.
I have never asked anyone for financial support but this time I am looking to lean on people for a little help. If you can't personally help please share.
