I survived high care, and being intubated (not ventilator, 2 very different things)Bloody hell, that sounds pretty grim. Glad you’ve turned the corner.
Only about 40% make it through high care alive

What is the difference?intubated (not ventilator
Ventilator is just tubes down throat. Gives air.What is the difference?
Still is,@Venomous, was this Covid?
What were you experiencing when you decided it's time to go to hospital?Still is,
Was in high care, and after they removed plate system i was moved after 2 days to high care icu.
They skipped normal ICU and moved me to general 2 days ago.
Less than half going into high care make it out alive. But the ones like me that got in there in time and made it through - it is life changing.
But timing has got a lot to do with it.
Took daughter back to dr for more meds.What were you experiencing when you decided it's time to go to hospital?
holy fuckTook daughter back to dr for more meds.
Dr told daughter to take a seat and wait.
My oxygen measured 56-58 at the dr.
He gave daughter a script for her and told me to go to hospital ASAP.
Was at hospital less than 1hr later and less than 1 more hour I started "fitting" was on less than 30% oxygen by then.
Drs had to perform a few miracles while I looked at him. I was breaking the restraints. Physician were sitting on me while doing some of the easy stuff.
But I let them do the hard stuff without complaining.
I remember being intubated, i remember the "lifeline surgery in my groin, but didn't want them to add a drip to arm - like go figure...
I do have a very high level of drug resistance, and never mentioned it when booking in. Not realising it might(will) be required.
Had I known I would have recommend that they get a certain anesthetist on stand by.
But hey it was quite a ride, so hey ho!
And I live!
They used experimental drugs, after mr signed.I read earlier you must learn to walk again? The hell is that all about?
Yay!Spent last night at home with the kids. What an amazing night. This is going to be a very different world.

I have never been on my own. And while being in a house with 3 - sometimes 4 people is not really alone - I am looking forward to being my own person. I am going to have guilt feelings to deal with. One is supposed to be totally broken when your partner dies. I just don't feel that yet. I cannot miss things in my life I know he wasn't capable of providing. And I felt less necessary as time went on.Yay!
It is going to be a different world for you now that you're on your own...but just look back on the past few weeks and just remember that you're a fighter and you'll all go on stronger than ever and being grateful for every single day going forward.
Lots of love and strength to you all xx

The future doesn't scare me and fill me with worry. I will be happy being on my own.
Both a blessing and a curse, you wanted to separate but didn't know how, now it's taken out of your hands and you'll feel guilty because you wanted to do that ages ago, but not in that manner.I have never been on my own.

This is what interests me. And yes - it is well known I was not happy. This is not how I would have wanted it to end.Both a blessing and a curse, you wanted to separate but didn't know how, now it's taken out of your hands and you'll feel guilty because you wanted to do that ages ago, but not in that manner.
I do hope it helps you out though, you can start the next phase of what you want in life, can be a scary thought and yet also an interesting thing, going to see who you are now vs in the past, we are constantly changing and maybe you'll new things you'll like.
