Back from a nightmare. Has anyone gotten Covid within a week of getting booster?

[Sagesewer]

Hello everybody! I’m recovering from Covid, a hospital stay and a rehab stay that was nothing short of a living nightmare.

Got the booster shot on the Monday before Thanksgiving, legs went out on Tuesday and Mom called 911.

I’ve been wearing a mas since 2/15/20. Only going out to Dr appts and the move from SC to NJ. Very careful and diligent.

Stayed in hospital until the following Tuesday. Was checked into a rehab place to get stronger. They took my mask , lied about masks being locked up so I had no mask for the night. Let alone very little water. The gave me some three bean salad in the afternoon. That was it.

In the hospital I was on a gurney for 20 hours in ER. No food or water. Great for MS.

The last straw was rehab left me in a wet bed for 2 1/2 hours, ignoring my yelling for help and pushing the call button.

Mom and a friend got me out, but mom and I got Covid. Mom is 83. The story goes on and on….

What got me to this point is tons of prayers and praying the rosary.

Sorry to jump all over the place. I’m trying to get back on track.

Rehab place has 8 staff members with Covid and countless inmates (oops, patients) with Covid. They will be reported and hopefully shut down.

oh no! How awful that the very folks who are supposed to help you did harm instead 😡 please keep a paper trail and report all you can. And truly grateful to hear that prayers kept you going. Lifting up one for you now. 🙏🏼

I'm so sad you were in such awful places with so few staff. I hope you are finally recovering.

[Sagesewer in reply to greaterexp]

Thank you. Very slow, not going as well as I hoped. One day at a time.

[NorasMom]

Good grief. My thoughts and prayers to you and your mom, and a pox on all the staff at the rehab center. What makes people act that way?!

[Humbrd]

So sorry to hear about everything that happened to you. That definitely sounds like a nightmare experience. Definitely report them to your state licensing agency. Find the number for your state and tell them you want to file a complaint. Your state agency covers state and federal regulations.

[Sagesewer in reply to Humbrd]

In process already!

[Humbrd in reply to Sagesewer]

👏 good for you. It also helps people who are still stuck there.

[Sandydemop]

omg awful! glad you are being assertive and making sure they get found out. You may have saved some lives.

[BlanketTime1]

i'm sorry you went through that. i hate it when hospitals and medical facilities that exist to heal us make us worse. i'm glad you're reporting it. i hope they get shut down or at minimum a thorough clean and all the current staff fired.

i'm so sorry your mom got covid as well. i hope you're both healing.🤗

[JSSimp]

My prayers are with you🙏🏾

[palomino27]

I'm so sorry for what you went through!This is why many people die from COVID. It's not isolated. Wake up people!

Flame on....

[Brindisi1]

Sorry for your awful experience. Glad you are reporting to state re rehab place.no excuse for that.hope mom ok. Hang in there & keep saying your rosary.

[Sagesewer in reply to Brindisi1]

I can’t wait until I am feeling well enoughtomaking rosaries again. One of the nurses aides saw me praying with my pair and asked me to make her a pair!😊

I am so sorry to hear about your experience. I landed in the hospital for 5 days bc the virus caused a major flare up. Standard treatment was 5 days of 10 steroid infusions in hospital. I also had to call 911 bc I became paralyzed. Where are you located? I was very blessed to be treated so well during my stay. I am very paranoid about getting a booster before my next Ocrevus infusion bc the boosters always affect my legs. I hope you are doing better. 🙏🙏🙏 I understand how scary this can be.

[Sagesewer in reply to Graip76]

In Brick.. my legs go out too and my symptoms get out of wack, too. My next Ocrevus infusion is in February.

[Sagesewer in reply to Graip76]

My prayers and love to you too.

[Graip76 in reply to Sagesewer]

Thank you. Just saw this. Im dreading getting another booster shot this summer 🤨

There’s no place like home, Sagesewer , and IF there’s any justice in this world, that rehab center should be closed down, IMHO! Get better, soon!

[Sagesewer in reply to carolek572]

AMEN! Couldn’t agree more to all you said! Thanks for the well wishes,too!

[Tazmanian]

Where did you move to in Nj I hope it's not near me I like my hospital

[Sagesewer in reply to Tazmanian]

Brick. The hospital was good taking care o me once I had a room. It was the rehab place that was bad.

[Tazmanian in reply to Sagesewer]

Enjoy the shore I live in north Jersey maybe I'll see you on the boardwalk

Sagesewer, It's Fancy59. I hate to hear everything you went through it sounds like a nightmare. I had very similar experience at rehab I was in for 2 weeks after the blood infection I had back the 1st part of September. They all seem to be short staffed and to lack care for the patient especially at night. I noticed the staff came through about 5 AM and got everybody cleaned up and dry so that when the 6 AM Shift came on they look good. My pet peeve was that they left every light in the room on 3 nights in a row and I got little to no sleep. Finally on the 3rd night I actually screamed at the top of my voice to get their attention. Nothing happened. I waited another minute or so and screamed a second time. Well that brought A stampede to my room so I Filed it away and knew that they understood that people needed help after 11 PM and they had better start checking the halls At night.

Is it possible that after you've got the vaccination you're exposed to someone who had covid? It takes approximately 2 weeks for the covid vaccine to get into bloodstream to give you protection. I guess I'm lucky because vaccinations never bother me and I never feel ill or sick after I get them. I'm simply a tough old broad! Fancy59.

[Sagesewer in reply to Fancy59]

I totally have empathy for what you went through! I am so sorry that you went through that too.

Anything is possible regarding the booster and vaccines. For 2 1/2 years I’ve Ben cut off from everyone except drs appts.

Frustration is only the tip of the iceberg of what I feel.

Aside rom MS, I don’t get sick,(knock on wood). Just praying is all that focuses me.
