Update on Fishing Buddy

[danrnsmyth]

I thought I would update on the last couple of days and not hijack a thread. But there is some improvement...after 13 days in the hospital as of yesterday the number of oxygen units required went from a high of 25 liters one day down to 10 yesterday. Still breathing with the assist of a pressurized mask "cannula" maybe?? and hope with another day of progress the mask can be removed and normal oxygen tube under the nose can be sufficient. Starting to try some breathing treatments but those have created a big drop of pulse oxygen levels into the mid 70"s. In this 30 mile radius area unfortunately we had a total of 48 cases with 4 deaths, but now the numbers are dropping and in my town....13 cases with 7 recovered and 1 death . His Wife and son and daughter are doing ok with it so far and riding it out at home with daily online conferences with local doctors. I hope this whole thing leaves us soon and does not affect your community or family...and we can get back to work and fishing and stay healthy..

People don’t understand how bad this is until you have been in hospital or no some one that has been in hospital it’s scary I was in room with glass doors with no visitors not even my wife all doctors and nurses are covered from head to toe with masks and face shields cannot see there faces drawing blood every couple of hours it’s awful I was there two days until test came back negative then two more days in non quarantined part it is reality check for sure guess what I’m saying is try to follow guidelines on this virus even though it sucks it’s no joke exspecially for older people well anyway that’s my two cents be safe hope to see lake full Of fishermen in couple weeks
