You don’t want COVID during recovery

My surgery went well. And a few days after getting home from the hospital, I developed body aches, a headache, a fever, and lost my sense of taste and smell. I had COVID-19 You know what you really don’t want while you’re recovering from surgery? Covid-f%#*ing-19. But that’s a very real threat right now. Whether I got it at the hospital or somewhere else, I don’t know. But going in for surgery puts you at risk of getting it, naturally, as you’ll be around more people than you’ve been this entire pandemic. I knew it was a risk I had to take when I went in for surgery, but I also didn’t have a choice. I needed this procedure done. This is just what it is to get surgery during a pandemic. This is just what’s happening because people will not stay the hell home.
