How’s Eddie?

I know I’m not alone in finding the I got the COVID thread locked . I was following along not for the scintillating discussions regarding politics, vaccines, or the CDC ...

Many of us are truly interested in how Eddie and his wife are doing in their recuperation from the plague.

Thanks.

He was actively posting here yesterday.

PM's are your friend. Why not ask him?

Not just Eddie, many others were sharing their first hand experiences. As mentioned above he's been posting right along, dispensing advice on building and construction just the way that he always does.

Thanks for asking. Karen was on Hydroxychloroquine for her lupus and she was 100% after 2 weeks. Diarrhea was her worse issue, but we blame that more on having colon cancer 3 years ago then the Covid. She also lost her sense of smell and taste, but its coming back quickly.

I'm on day 20 and feeling pretty good. The last week I've gone from thinking I was done with it, to having fatigue so bad that it wore me out to just sit up and watch TV. It just comes and goes like a wave. I never lost my sense of taste or smell. Probably the worse thing for me was the muscle and joint aching. The fever never came back after the first 3 days. The only medicine that I took was Tylenol for the fever. My wife gave me some vitamins, but I don't know if they do anything or not.

I think it was last Tuesday or Wednesday that I went in to see my Doctor, and she said that I was no longer contagious. And that I was doing good and to not push myself too hard.

I plan on going back to work on Monday. I have an attic job that I had started the day I first started feeling something. I have all the framing done, so now it's just sheetrock, electrical, insulation and trim work. Carrying 3 sheets of sheetrock up there is the only physical part of the job, so I'll do one, rest, then the other, and rest and then finish with the smaller pieces from the third sheet. It should be simple enough.

Sorry that I abandoned the other thread. It was taken over by silly people making silly comments that nobody cared about except themselves.

Glad to hear you are getting stronger...

Covid symptoms are varied and we are all learning...

Is the rest of the Tyler family OK?

Thanks for the update. Until you started the other thread all that I heard about people who actually had the virus was what I read on mainstream media. Thankfully, it sounds like you both are on the backside of recovery and picking up speed. :thumbsup:

Glad you and your wife are doing better Eddie.

Glad that you and the wife are still on the mend! I put more stock in the first person witnesses of TBN members than all of the current media from either side of the spectrum. Thank you for checking in!

Way to go Eddie.
People who work with their hands, work outside, and take care of livestock are light years ahead of couch potatoes in stamina and mental alertness.
