Coronavirus patient on hellish ordeal
It started out as a tickle in his throat before bed, but by the next morning, it felt like the worst flu ever. And by the time Kevin Harris was admitted to a hospital in Ohio five days later, he thought he was suffocating.
One of the doctors had tears in his eyes when Harris asked if he would live. Another doctor just shrugged and mumbled, “I don’t know.”
“They told me they didn’t have a cure,” Harris said.
Within a couple of days, he said, he felt like he couldn’t clear his throat. He couldn’t stop coughing. By the next day, he had a fever and headaches. But the worst part was the body aches. On a scale of 1 to 10, he said, the pain was 15. “The pain is off the charts. Everything hurts, nose, toes and ears,” said Harris. “I was like one big ball of pain.” He said he cried “like a little girl” when he moved from his bed to a nearby chair.
“Imagine your lungs turning solid. It’s like suffocating without holding your nose,” said Harris. By the time Harris made it to the hospital, it was taking him an hour to move 50 feet to his bathroom — and he had to stop twice, lie on the floor and catch his breath before reaching the door.
