Thanks to all the great doctors, nurses, and other #healthcare professionals taking such good care of me here at @NYUlangone. #COVID19 #Covid_19 #NationalDoctorsDay
It’s far from a “happy” #NationalDoctorsDay, given the sacrifices you and your families are making - but it underscores the importance and meaningfulness of your work more powerfully than ever. #COVID19 #Covid_19 #coronavirus #CoronavirusUSA

Achievement unlocked: no longer on oxygen! We tapered it down gradually after I was extubated last week, and last night while I was asleep they cut it off entirely. #coronavirus #COVID19 #CoronaBoy
My blood oxygen has remained in the 90s throughout the taper and even after the shutoff - so discharge before the end of this week looks like a very realistic possibility, per my nurse this morning. #coronavirus #covid19 #CoronaBoy
I’ll be discussing all this later today with my doctors/care team at @nyulangone and deferring to their professional judgment. I also want to hear from them about the degree to which I might still be contagious. #coronavirus #COVID19 #CoronaBoy

The latest installment in #LatsCovid19Journal by yours truly, @DavidLat aka #CoronaBoy:

"How To Be A Good Patient."

#Coronavirus #Coronavirus2020 #healthcare #HealthcareHeroes #Covid19 #Covid_19
I'll use this acronym (partly because I could really use some Percocet right now for rib-cage pain from my cough): PERCOS.

#LatsCovid19Journal #Coronavirus #CoronaVirus2020 #healthcare #HealthcareHeroes #Covid19 #Covid_19
"P" stands for "Positive." It's a cliche, but true: much of life comes down to your attitude. You can be positive (or at least stoic), or you can complain constantly. What's better?

For me, “trouble breathing” were the magic words; I remember gripping the ER admissions counter at @nyulangone because I couldn’t stand. They took me back immediately and put me on oxygen (and a few days later, intubated me). #coronavirus #COVID19 #Covid_19
Today marks two weeks at @nyulangone for me. It will probably be another few days before I’m released - but given how close I came to dying of #coronavirus (as a healthy 44-year-old), I’m not complaining. #CoronaVirusUpdate #COVID19 #Covid_19 #CoronavirusUSA
Thanks again to the people of many different faiths (or no faith at all) who sent healing thoughts and prayers and good wishes my way over these past few weeks; it means more to me than you’ll ever know. #coronavirus #CoronaUpdate #COVID19 #Covid_19

Toon Vanagt: staying home & physical distancing
@Toon
Took a solo run in my eery downtown Brussels neighbourhood. If you’re a nostalgic commuter.. enjoy what it looks like in “lockdown” mode at sundown. #NoFilter
Since you seem to enjoy my “shots from the hip” while running in Brussels, I’ll add some extra with free observations & thoughts.
1/ Streets are all empty & air quality is great (no more car pollution). My body feels the difference (or I run faster due to Zombie apocalypse fear?)
2/ Fellow runners: let’s agree that in these conditions it makes no more sense to run your usual rounds in the “Royal Park”. Authorities clearly closed the “benches”, so it makes no sense to run so near to each other + cross in opposite directions. Entire @CityBrussels is yours!

jimin is a stubborn fledgling dragon determined to prove to his clan that he's matured.

on his forbidden journey to look for a revered moonstone, he is injured and falls right into the cottage of min yoongi, the land's most powerful witch.

the land's most /dangerous/ witch.
a birthday gift for my favorite flower fairy and fellow dragon enthusiast @fuckmygs

i love love love you!! i hope you have the best day filled with light and love and wine 🥴✨🌿💛 i am smothering you with all the hugs!
@fuckmygs ☽

Hidden away within an unreachable pocket of the universe, there lies a moonstone. Pure and bright, yet never fully understood.

Some say it is a gimmick, others say it is dangerous.

But to the dragons, the moonstone is a treasure valued above all else.

#sheith thread | ASMR AU | slightly nsfw
It starts with a recommended video.

A chain of them, actually, which Keith lets play out one after another on a late night when sleep refuses to come. No matter how he stretches and turns under the covers, his aching physical exhaustion never carries him away into slumber.
His eyes glaze as he halfway watches videos of knife restoration, which segue into knife massages, and then onto a whole subset of youtube he’s never seen before. ASMR— whispers, the sounds of fingernails tapping on glass, flashlights shining across the screen.
