f7ben Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 This ones bad....his daughter is like my sister and he was the rock and leader of the family. The hurt in their voices is tough to take. Shannon sat in the parking lot looking up at his room while they pulled his plug. No goodbyes...no last kiss or hug 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 That sucks ben. It really does. My wife has been off work with Covid since Thanksgiving. She can't breathe for shit and her short term memory is gone, she is writing notes to herself all the time, and she forgets she wrote herself notes. It's not good. So what did I do? I bought her a snowmobile. Snowmobiles make everyone feel better. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 For the record DJ was 74 and had COPD ....he wasn’t healthy. But he seemed strong and resilient and just like any other time when I saw him this summer. Covid is bad news for sick old people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionfigureJoe Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 My condolences to you and your family, Ben, . It’s tough to lose a family member, especially the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 It’s a weird disease. My ex mother in law got it. She’s 92. She shook it off in 3 days. An in-law in good health got it and it killed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear...I was just about to ask about underlying conditions before you replied. Many of us know someone who has died from this.....I guess the vaccine will be worthwhile to those at risk.

Could be covid or could be something else. I hope your old lady gets better and I hope this shit passes. Thanks Ben. I hope it does too but right now it's only gotten worse. All of the other covid symptoms are gone except for limited taste/smell. Her lungs have gotten worse and the affect of her brain is what I fear the worst. She's had 2 cat scans and her next visit will be a ultrasound of her heart. She is also very weak, she can't pull start her 600SDI when it's warm, and if she can't even walk all the way around the block before being so winded she has to sit down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Sorry for your loss. Just tested positive today. Last two days were pretty brutal. I can definitely see how it would wipe you out with any kind of pre existing respiratory issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
