Surviving COVID-19, Ventilator, and Month in Hospital

Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with EGPA in 2016. Like many of you, I'm immunocompromised from years of prednisone, azathioprine and Rituxan. Two years ago today, April 3rd, 2020, in spite of sheltering, I wound up in the hospital with COVID-19. Not as much was known about COVID then and there were no vaccines yet. Later that summer I was starting a blog to describe what nearly a month in the hospital and weeks on a ventilator was like. It was and continues to be a bit of therapy for the weeks of nightmares. Feel free to ask questions or comment- it's a Work in Progress- The Impatient Patient - graciemaylive.wordpress.com
