Glad to hear you are home.

Glad you're home; a hospital is no place to be! I'm sure the frequent bathroom trips are annoying, but better than feeling like you're under water.

Yeah, home will definitely be safer. No way in hell I want to step foot in any sort of medical facility of any kind right now. Those places are where all the sick people will be hanging out. And honestly, I don't think they have a real good handle on just how infectious this coronavirus really is.

So, stay safe, Joe. Whatever it takes.

Thanks Rich. When I first went in I was taken to an isolation room that was set for negative pressure and tested for virus. For the next 18 hours I had to keep mask on and the nurse was suited up like one of those radiation suits. They would take blood pressure, temperature, hand me pills and meal in one shot. All other contact was phone only. When your sick and kinda scared not a good feeling.

Once I was cleared they put me on cardiac ward and everyone wore mask's and gloves. They used sanitizer both coming and going and changed gloves same way. All cleaning and food service employees were same way.

No one not an employee or patient was allowed in hospital. Which was hard on my wife. She brought me extra clothing and grooming products. She had to call from the pick up area and someone came outside to get. My bag was lightly sprayed with a disinfectant fog.

I have heard some horror stories about some of the other hospitals. The low income one in downtown Cleveland has limited everything from what I hear.

Joe,

How have you been doing lately? Still hanging in there?

How is Ohio doing with this coronavirus thing? I believe you said your surgery was postponed until things started looking better in that department.

Still waiting on surgery. They opened up surgery that doesn't require an overnight stay. So if you have a boil on your rear end your good to go. They are slowly opening things back up here this week. Over all not doing too bad except spurts here and there. My vision got real blurry yesterday but came back an hour later. Bored out of my skull. If I do try to do anything taxing I get ill. I'm almost out of internet to read, lol
