The first post

The first post on Facebook on Friday, December 17. 9:00 p.m. 07. A text without any image. I am positive for Covid -he wrote days ago-. I write it because I must inevitably cancel any commitment, and to justify my absence in the next period, hopefully brief. And then why If I get sick, I haven’t gone out for a year and I live in a very attentive family isolated from others, it means that it can happen to anyone. On Friday I woke up with great difficulty breathing, so we called 118 and at the hospital they checked me: plates good, saturation good, negative molecular buffer both me and my mother. A big thank you to those who helped me with kindness and professionalism, a little less than that false negative that came out even as a couple … So always pay attention to the results. They immediately sent me home with therapy, to avoid getting infected in the hospital thinking that they were generic ailments, on the other hand saturation was under control. Meanwhile my dad got sick on Monday, the next day he had a swab and a positive result. At that time my mom and I took the tampon again yesterday, and we tested positive confirming the symptoms we had. To date I have a lot of fatigue and weakness, headache and sore throat, sinusitis, feeling of fever, but above all a great shortness of breath and shortness of breath, despite not having much cough (and at this intersection and crossing my toes along with myself). If you believe, say a prayer for me; If you don’t believe, send me positive energies. Anyway, do what you want, just think about me a little because it’s not easy, and you know it.

It’s not a game

The situation does not improve: Melio enters the next day. In the post on December 18 at 11:56 p.m., posted on both Facebook and Instagram, he shows the photo of his hospital bed, trying to make fun of him to keep his mood high. Fortunately, the clinical picture stabilizes and does not require admission to intensive care, but rather his Christmas in the ward, as he says in the next post. This is not a “flu”, much less a game., and seeing that there are also those who do not expect a quick answer, finally things return to the correct measure. Now you just need time, patience and care, then there will be a way back. It won’t be immediate, but it will be soon.
