Hi.
Well, OH came home last Saturday, masked up, doc said just to make sure and to keep a distance from us at home, for 7 days. Not sure the paper masks do anything, but hey ho, he's been wearing it anyway. Someone told me, who works at a hospital, the paper masks only last for 15 minutes. After that they?re no good. 🤷♀️ Anyway, not long to go now, then the 7 days are up!
We rang the GP on Monday, to see if he needed anymore AB, as the hospital only discharged him with two days worth, 😳 GP said yes, I?ll give you another 7 days worth just to make sure all the infection has gone, he's still getting night sweats, and she doesn't know if it's still the covid hanging around, or the pneumonia. I'm hoping they finish soon for him, cuz he hates em with a passion!
He's doing ok other than that. He's very weak, lost a hell of a lot of weight, and has to stop to get his breath back after just walking up and down the living room. His oxygen levels drop to around 88/89% but soon rise after he's sat down, to around 91/92% at best at the moment.
We bought him an oxygen gadget, you just slip it on your finger, and it reads the oxygen in your blood. I used it, and my oxygen level was 99%, so he still has a bit to go.
After having 15 l/min, oxygen, pumped into him, at the hospital, which is the highest before intensive care, he's come on heaps.
So fingers crossed for a continued recovery. 🤞
