I'm HUNGRY again - and haven't been

Known #COVID case Dec 2021

Progressively worse over time - lost 1/2 diameter of my THIGHS in that time

a month w/virtually no sleep other than 'moments' until 'drugs' priodically, since. Serious biz. No bathing for 'up to 3 weeks'...

Seldom dressed-ate-drank liquids-unable to visit elderly parents-rarely step outside-this work has been my 'life' but brainfog was getting so bad- '30 second memory' became normal. Conversation, like 'Traumatic Brain Injury'.

I feel like I did when 'cured my own TETANUS'

SO...

I came back to 'EXPLAIN THAT' because, 'SURE DUDE'.

I just decided I reaallly need to document that here for EVERYONE ( and I certainly would too, if it wasn't me) who doubts my story on 'that', too.

One day, alone, standing in my kitchen in the woods, after many wounds...

I started choking on my own saliva - my throat LOCKED SHUT AND WOULD NOT OPEN FOR AIR OR GULLET' to drain 'my saliva'.

I was out of breath - more than a minute - maybe as long as 2+ - and about to drop dead.

I remember saying to myself, "GOD PLEASE HELP ME'

I'm not 'religious'

My THROAT UNLOCKED and I'd already fallen to my knees on the kitchen floor - choking badly on my spit - air passage tight - gasped - vomiting - choking - dying.

30 minutes later I was stable enough to drive myself to an ER - spent 3 days on HEART floor - total waste of $30,000-

Smart enough to grab my laptop - knowing I'd be there 'for a bit' - after that. Fit, muscled up, baffled. 1/2 tongue swollen.

Stroke seemed 'logical' - ruled out - I had to refuse bing put on my back in scanner - told them they'd drag me out dead from drowning-and would have.

On my back - upright to keep from choking every minute - ZERO help - felt like ZERO care other than 'checklist for stroke - cleared - than just 'income' and actions reflected that until "I" checked myself out after reading on 'Anaphalxis' because 'LOCKED SHUT THROAT'

Doctor Me.

"Can you give me a Prednisone pill"

"No"

"You're giving him a bunch (old man Roomie) why not?"

"gygg,,gk,gluhg.g"

"I'm leaving"

"LOL. Where do you think you'll get it?"

"Walk-in Clinic when I tell them I'm having an allergic reaction and throat closing shut"

"Oh. Wait..."

(Patient get's Prednisone Pill delivered and informs nurse he's still checking out after...)

"I can't breathe (earlier) - I'm choking - I need immediate help now"

NURSE "Your oxygen level is 98%. You're fine."

Walks out on me. Seriously - EVERYTHING ABOVE.

I can only surmise I survived the 1st thing because 'maybe benzos I was taking?' Or pure. Fucking. Luck. Or GOD.

Hey - whatever.

Time moves on - throat continues to bother, concerm worry me but no more like the initial, ever again.

But 'cramps' here and there - increasing.

Mom kept me VAXXED with Teatnus boosters because, Often Wounded/ many rusty nails in feet/gasline punctured an arm deep/yada.

I must have fallen behind.

So I keep reading medical literature trying to find a diagnosis fitting my symptoms

"Doc, I think I might have Sjogren's..."

"lol"

Another 6 months. 'Cramps spreading'. Arms. Fingers. Stomach THIGH CALVES...'

W.T.F. is this shit. I'm into two years plus going on.

THREE. FUCKIN'. YEARS.

Reading. Self-Teaching Medicine again.

Out to dinner with Mom, pull into her driveway, ow.

screaming

Uncontrollable screaming from 'beyond pain' - neighborhood assuredly hear - threw my door open - SOMEHOW THREW MYSELF OUT ONTO THE DRIVEWAY IN FULL BODY SPASM.

aka - TETANI - from the latin - 'tension'

Not 'cramps' - 'spasms'

W.T.F.

Now routine, I carryon when it resides.

I go home - logon once again like I do routinely looking for the solution to my problem - stumble on a picture in Wikipedia- think to myself - "Nahhhhh..."

But that's DEFINITELY ME RIGHT THERE at Mom's. In her Driveway. On the ground while she watches and hears me.

Welp. What's the cure for THAT?

There is no blood test for Tetanus. There is JACK SHIT to diagnose Tetanus. Apparently other than 'you need to walk in a medical facility with your jaw locked shut or.... ' "LOL you aren't a doctor and your mouth is moving so, COLONOSCOPY?"

BIG SHOT - IF YOU CAN GET IT - BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL COULD NOT.

Booster will cure Teatanus - if it hasn't been TOO LONG since your last one,

Since I had ZERO options - ZERO FUCKING MEDICAL HELP, BELIEF, KNOWLEDGE, SUPPORT - AND HEADED TOWARD DEAD - AGAIN - FUCK THAT.

Clinic.

"Hi"

"Hi, how can we help you today?"

"I'd like to get a Tetanus Booster, please. I think mine is past due"

"There you go sir. Have a nice day"

Within 2 weeks - 'CURED' - just like the doctor's manuals said would happen.

I'd made a nice 'Table' to take to my Primary ...

...that day I walked into the $180- per Month 'New Business Model' doctor office I'd signed up for a couple years earlier - and told doc, "I think I have Tetanus..." interrupted by his guffaw in my face-then 'knowing smile'.

'Idiot patients not doctors like us, all the time'

"Here's a thing I wrote up doc laying it all out since the beginning - just a shot will cure me. Please, Sir, can you help me?"

"No"

?

Cured in less than a week - like - 3 days it was obvious that was working. Occasionally, my mouth muscles do some weird shit and I need to 'work a little' at enunciating - but I suppose - other than possibly some heart muscle damage? who knows - it all ceased that week.

#RootCauseAnalysis, right? Done some big things that way-along with refusing to 'Capitulate'-take 'experts' for ulimate gospel when 'Life Depends on Action and Results' and if nobody else "Death Threat, Sheriff"

"Hahhahahahah, Find Hillary's Emails, too? Talk to that Camera"...

Dude stands in Sheriff Office next to DEPUTY DAWG -LATER, actually SHERIFF...

"So. This is the deal..." followed by "Seeya, asshole" and new AR-15 plus additional prep - neighbors warning me about 'that car watching you w/3 people wearing hats who look down when I drive past...

LOL.

I'm a lucky guy. So are those three.

Because when I was walking down to say hello, the next day after checking on them periodically-in a perfect spot to pull in behind me if I drove out of my remote, secluded driveway in the woods, to town, they slowwwwly drove away...

...as I waved and hollered, "Ah, come on back."

Looked around a tree next to where they'd waited for two days in a row - all day - maybe all night. Not worried because, reasons.

I collected dna - eventually tossed it - because, "LOL-Hillary's emails! BWaaaa hahahahahhahahah"

Then there was the explosion and neighbor phoning freaked out saying she saw the flash on the road at our adjacent road/drive entrances-over the solid line of trees and rugged underbrush between her home on the hill and road beneath and I found the 'gleaming new shotgun shells...

... out front - 8-10 feet above the road beneath - in the hot sun - in a place that burned in an infamous fire the following year because, hot, dry, drought, forest.

Meh, random coincidence.

I'll let you know how the NSAIDS go.

Cheers. 🍻

Wow I mis-spelled 'Periodically' by a 'Longshot' .
