Wow, glad you are doing well. It is a baffling illness. Some have it and have no symptoms and the other extreme. And one more thing, Happy Birthday.

Praise God you are OK! Thanks for sharing your story so that those of us in "good health" and in your age bracket get a reminder of how bad this is. I have been sticking pretty much to home, and being extra careful when I have to go out and am more concerned about the second wave being worse than the first, especially in those areas where it was not a significant problem. Again, thanks for sharing and so glad you are on the mend. And belated Happy Birthday!

Wow Andy I'm speechless. So happy to hear you are on the mend and that the drugs you took helped you recover from the Virus. I'm sure you are very much still in the recovery phase but I glad that you are feeling better.

I seldom have time to check in on the Forum and blame it on work but, am one of us “Older guys” who has to be very afraid of this thing and now working from home due to leukemia, “trying” to console 122 employees at the dealership who put themselves at risk every day. Your story made me cringe......What a testament to this group of great news, rather than the opposite, that has affected so many. Prayers do get answered and I also, wish you a full recovery!

Congratulations on your victory, and thank you for sharing. Health is something that most take for granted, until they don't have it. When you're faced with "losing it", you make all kinds of promises to whomever you believe in. As I've said in the past, prayers from any and all, are always welcome!!! I've already lost 3 that I know of to this virus, and know of many who have thankfully recovered!!! Take your time, don't push yourself too much, too soon. It's not like you can go out to dinner and a movie, or to the gym!!! Wishing you a complete recovery! Everyone, stay safe!!!

Happy to hear that you are recovering! Very frightening illness when organ systems besides the lung start to fail. Happy belated B Day, best to Margaret and the family. Hope to see you soon at the next GT gathering.

Andy,
Glad to hear you're on the mend. Your perspective to the full story of the virus progression and treatment is something that isn't really out there. Thank you.

Happy (belated) Birthday and Best Wishes on your (continued) full recovery!

You completely optimized with acute awareness of your symptoms, great advice, and strong medical care.

And still with all that you had to fight a fierce battle with a difficult and determined adversary.

Thanks much for your detailed selfless post about your journey and victory!

The variation in how this impacts people is its scariest trait. Glad you beat it Andy! Hope to see you again soon.
