Title: hospitalized
Post by: cranlox on May 23, 2024, 04:06:48 AM
I'm sorry to say that I got a stomach virus that made everything unbalanced, at the same time it gave me a cough and a sore throat. It's such a complete picture that the medications in question were too much for my finances.
Even so, I am medicated and I hope to have a speedy recovery, they say it will take 7 to 10 days. :doh:

Best of luck to you and get well soon. It sucks that we live in a world where people can't afford medical care and are suffering, and at the same time there are those with more money than they could spend in three lifetimes, let alone one.

In Argentina it is not either, there is a free public system so poor that people die waiting for medical attention. And a few years ago, not so many, (to say an estimated mid-90s, the public and free health system was an excellent one).
Nowadays you have to opt for the private option otherwise you run a greater risk of neglect or contagion of other things in medical wards that may never attend to you.
I have had swine flu, I avoided covid with a very high protocol, and this virus hit me!
Which was clearly worse, luckily dengue was ruled out, which at one time was also an option to be considered.

thanks for your good wishes

If I had frequent flyer miles on toilets I could go around the world for free

Good luck. I have Ulcerative Colitis and I have been hospitalized twice because of it. You may not have something like that but I certainly know what it's like to spend part of your life in the bathroom.

It is a viral condition that apparently is circulating strongly, by generating potassium decompensation by causing excess diarrhea, leading to cardiac complications.
In my case I didn't get to that, luckily I stopped before, but I am consuming minerals and salts on par with what is lost.
Yes it's really ugly.
What are we going to do. The life have this things! Thank you for sharing the feeling, if you literally live in the bathroom

At least on the bright side, a virus can be treated. My second hospitalization was for a C Difficile bacterial infection I got from the first time I was hospitalized, so I was "relieved" when I found it could be treated with antibiotics.

Because of the contacts that I have in common, there are many people suffering from the same stomach virus with the same level of problem, although it takes a few days and if attended promptly it does not cause complications in cases where care is delayed and the potassium level falls below 1, then it causes heart failure. It does not reach the epidemic category or anything more important, but it is a problem that marks a certain growing presence.
Of 30 students in a class, 14 contracted it, that is a clear example of the dispersion.
