I have been very, very ill. The Covid virus gave me an auto-immune disease that had my body attacking itself. It was destroying the muscles and nerves in my body. I couldn't touch my nose or scratch my ear, roll over in bed, my legs have little strength and I have no range of motion in my arms. I lost 35 pounds in just over two months because the disease was taking everything away from me. I can't swallow properly yet because it effected the muscles in my throat. I now have a food tube in my stomach that I feed myself 5 times a day with a protein mix. It is going to be a long, hard road to recovery, but it should happen. The reason for the post is to tell my friends in the forum to enjoy just the simple things of life. I will never take for granted being able to wash my hair because I can't reach the top of my head. It will be nice to be able to put my clothes on without help. These are things we normally take for granted and don't even think about. I am blessed with a wonderful wife, family and friends. I include the forum as my never seen friends that I pray will never get anything like the hell I've gone through. Enjoy life. Don't quibble over little things. All that matters is the love of family and friends. Enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I will enjoy reading what my friends in the forum write about. Your are great people and I wish you all long, healthy lives.
