I'm glad you are doing well and heading to great recovery. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Stay positive brother, you can fight this. With that said I'm here in your state, AZ. Visiting Sedona and this place is wonderful.First Iād like to thank everyone here from the bottom of my heart for all your thoughts and prayers. This really is a very special community and even though many of us have never met it just goes to show how we all come together when another is in need.
I started feeling a little āoffā a few days after we returned from vacation but didnāt think much of it. As the week went on I felt worse and went to the Urgent Care to get tested and 2 days latter received the positive Covid results. Last Friday the 13th is when it hit me the hardest and couldnāt do anything but sleep and crawl to the couch. Between the nausea, body aches, sweats and chills I never felt anything this painful in my life. I honestly wouldnāt wish this on my worst enemy! Dr says thereās really nothing you can do but let it run itās course which is anywhere from 3-4 weeks minimum. Today is day 17 and it feels like Iām on the upside now (?) where I can finally move around without being dizzy and nauseous and finally ate a real meal the other night that wasnāt toast or soup. Doc says this new Delta variant is worse because it stays airborne longer and is highly contagious. I will admit we became very lazy with our mask wearing out here and with our heat itās easy to do. So just a word of caution for everyone is donāt take this damn virus lightly because no matter how great of shape youāre in itāll knock you flat out.
Now I do need to go and read the āWhereās Dave threadā. Iāve been well briefed about it and Iām sure Iām in for some good laughs.? You guys and girls are the best and itās a blessing to be part of such a great group! Thank you for all the messages and text, they really helped get me through all this.
@Chris M said this to me in a text and it was so very true that I hope he doesn't mind that I copied it here..
"Who knew such a wide collection of keyboard warriors could have such tender hearts towards one another"?

Maybe not really our business?Still the unanswered question. Did you have the vaccine or not?
True, but if you elected to not get the vaccine, own it. Just curious if he got that sick and DID have the vaccine. Itās a simple question. He doesnāt have to answer it.Maybe not really our business?
I'm really curious as well, but it's a deeply personal question about his medical decisions. Answering it will only invite criticism from one side or the other and not provide any meaningful insight into the merits of vaccination.True, but if you elected to not get the vaccine, own it.
