I posted on December 20th that I will not go to Cabin Fever this year being concerned about COVID & my family safety. Worth mentioning that I had my two vaccine shots & was waiting to take the third booster shot.
Well, we plan as much as we can, but The Lord’s will was a little different. I started showing COVID symptoms on December 21st; luckily my wife was away with her mom, and I asked her to stay in our little shore cabin while I am fighting this virus. Home rapid test showed positive, and later PCR showed positive as well.
My wife insisted to return home wearing a N95 mask 24/7 to take care of me, and I am grateful to her.
I almost got hospitalized on Christmas day when my Saturated Oxygen level dropped to 92% with a heart beat at rest in bed @ 100. My MD told me if my Oxygen drops to 91% then I have to call 911 for paramedics.
I am writing this after I recovered and made it to Cabin Fever knowing that I have a lot of antibodies. I also made the decision to wear a mask during the show all the time.
I am 52 year old with no other medical conditions & almost died from COVID. I know that it’s a matter of freedom & choice; but to my surprise, there was less than 50 people in the entire show that had a mask on. The show did not mandate wearing a mask, but they put signs that it is recommended by the CDC to wear a mask. I can tell you that my heart is already aching for the hundreds of elderly who attended without a mask, and will suffer what I have been trough. I was thinking during the show that I may not see many of these kind people in the future shows if they got infected.
