[QUOTE="rhart, post: 3707774, member: 16596"] I sure wish I had gone to the hospital sooner instead of fighting it for 17 or 18 days first. For the last 6 or 7 days of at-home sickness I was semi-delirious and couldn't think straight enough to go get tested. It is hard to describe my delirium, which I believe was caused by brain oxygen starvation due to the pneumonia - I knew I should go get tested, but while visualizing the steps I needed to go through to get up, shower, dress and drive to the 24-hour emergency center somehow my mind believed I had actually gone down and gotten tested (this same type of 'visualization delirium' made me think I had taken my daily meds as well). I finally forced myself to get up and go get tested and when I did the doctor at the minor emergency center wanted to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital right then because my O2 levels were so low and I tested positive for Covid as well (first of three tests that day - ugh! I despise those tests). I drove my vehicle home and had my son drop me off at the hospital. They took me right in and put me on Oxygen after one look at the report from the minor emergency center - I kind of felt guilty for being taken in past the many people sitting around in the emergency waiting room with their pillows and blankets trying to get comfortable, and looking miserable, in a chair (and pretty much every chair was taken up). I have to say that Saint Francis in Tulsa did a really good job on me and I only had one scary experience with a nurse on my first night in my hospital room - she was young and reminded me by her mannerisms and questions of a couple of radical white chicks I had unpleasant experiences with at Tulsa Community College (suspected Antifa or BLM associates). Luckily, by the time I came into contact with 'miss radical' I had been on oxygen for a few hours and was no longer delusional and I crafted answers to her questions that, at the very least, mollified her or confused her as to my political leanings.
