Today is Monday April 26 2021, On your show today you are discussing Covid-19 with a guest that ( was the first person that had covid before Covid). Covid Patient 0 !!! Greg and A.J. Let tell you there is a lot of patients 0 out there including me! I when into the hospital January 20 2020 and did not come out until March 3 2020. I had 4 chest tubes,Feeding Tubes, Blood clots, I crash twice, I was on a vent. twice, I also had to learn to walk, talk, and use every part of my body again. They had no idea what I had, Covid was something overseas, no here yet. I had M.S. to begin with and take medicine that me more prone to get sick! I when to the Doctor first and I walked in and my face was blue ( my whole face). The doctor didn't even see me, she call for a bus to take me to the hospital. My pulse OX was 42 at the time. That hospital said it was the Flu but Air lift me to a different hospital and I the rest of the time in the ICU. They said it was pneumonia. No one wore masks at the three Hospitals I was at, I pray to GOD I didn't give it to anyone! I would wish this virus on my worst enemy. When I finally got off the O2, They send me to a rehab hospital, to learn how to walk, eat, drink, go to the bathroom, bath and more. I came out this with no teeth, Adult Resp. Distress Disorder and More. Plus the memories of this ( which causes me more nightmares that I don't want to remember. I so grateful I am alive but people need to this serious and get the Vaccine. I did not have a hallway full of people clapping, and media there waiting for me! I only had the person that was been for me more then the half my life, the love of life My Husband! He was with me everyday in the hospital and everyday at home with me! Without I would probably be dead ( especially since I have a DNR because of the MS. I just to tell you my story !! P.S. I say I Love My Husband Matthew Benish and Thank You!
