rownesheck's JournalI posted last Sunday
that my dad was in the hospital with covid and double pneumonia.
Well, he's still there and he's found out now he has Deep Vein Thrombosis to go along with all the other stuff.
I said in the original post that we don't have a great relationship. He's a faux news viewer who loves tucker carlson and of course he isn't vaccinated.
I'm preaching to the crowd here, but GET THE SHOT!!!
That is all. You may all carry on now.
I found out yesterday
from my stepmother (she's only like 10 years older than i, and my dad's 4th wife) that my 71 year old dad is in the ICU with covid. We don't really have a good relationship being that he's a faux news watcher and trump supporter who likes to throw around the "N" word a lot.
I'm shocked (not shocked) that he has covid because he started feeling sick 2 weeks to the day after spending Xmas with his large family. We were invited, but I told my stepmom we weren't going because my 2 year old and 11 year old aren't vaccinated (11 yo got her 1st shot last Tuesday), and I didn't feel comfortable having them around all those people. I got the silent treatment after that, but no skin off my back.
Anyway, stepmom informed us he wasn't feeling well on Saturday and i told my wife, "I guarantee he has covid." My stepmom seemed to not even want to consider that scenario in her text messages she was sending out.
Yesterday, it was confirmed once they went to the hospital that he does indeed have covid and double pneumonia. In my opinion, he may not leave that hospital due to the fact that he's overweight and has an issue with one of his lungs.
Now it's just a waiting game. If he ends up dying, I'll feel bad, but he had every opportunity to get the shot and to not allow himself to be brainwashed by a bunch of far right extremist assholes. But, if that was already his nature, is it really brainwashing? More like confirmation bias I guess.
It has been said many times: covid doesn't discriminate. Get the shot, even if you think it's a hoax or no worse than a cold.
