Bill, I subscribed to your substack several months back after coming across you on Taibbi's comment section. I hope you are recovering and above all not in any major discomfort.
If you produced this meticulous "meta-story" of your medical catastrophe you seem to your readers to be in mental control (with a vocabulary to be envied). I know medical staff get tired and having spent many years in the VA system with my husband during his decline and death I know you need an advocate. This was pre-COVID so I don't know what they allow now. No one should be in the hospital alone. Please keep us updated. Prior to the announcement of COVID and pre-vaccination I experienced much of what you explain including lost of taste and smell. I thought I had a bad flu.I still haven't been tested tho I have been vaccinated. I seem to be carrying on in a fairly hot spot (GA). I hope your getting this gives you more anti-bodies and you continue to recover. Really rending.
As a nurse I am crushed by the experiences you have had to face. I have witnessed it and fought against it for 32 years. I am retiring in October and have no idea what I will do.
I am hoping you can keep that other foot out of the gravy a little longer because your words have been very meaningful to me, and sharing your experience has also been very meaningful.
