Alice tests positive and gets treatment
The previous day Alice was so discouraged to find out that her appointment for the Monoclonal Antibody Treatment was cancelled due to no more supply left in the state. She was told she would be first on the list if and when the next doses arrive. I noticed her anxiety level raised to a level I have not yet seen. She knew she was getting sick and had COVID already but had not yet been tested.
Yesterday morning we scheduled the first available appointment at CVS-Minute Clinic…. 6:45 pm for her test. About 2 hours later she received a message and phone calls from CDR/HEALTH stating they had received some supply and her appointment would be honored. Off we went to another trip NORTH for her treatment. My treatment was 1 hour and 20 minutes with 1 hour of waiting after the treatment before they tested and released me. Alice texted me from the site and told me her treatment today would be by infusion and NOT by 4 shots. I guess they had NO shot supply left. The IV would take and hour and then another hour of waiting before testing and release. I am in the HOT car with COVID waiting this out. She mentioned this was the first time they had done the treatment this way and most were learning the process. She discovered the workers were EMT’s and or firefighters. They were also learning the process and of course were so nice to her as they were to me.
At 6:40 pm I took Alice to CVS, and she enough she tested positive. It seem her symptoms are cloning mine but about 3 days after me. Fever, chills, body ache, etc. She was miserable. I made her split pea soup.
Now here we are 2 COVID patients in the same house each feeling sorry for the other.
My Status
For me last night was the first night in 5 nights that I slept without waking up in a large pool of sweat. Maybe I have begun to turn the corner. Now come on Alice, I am rooting for you. REGENERON, DO your thing!
Alice was told by the EMT’s the Monoclonal Antibody Treatment provide 35-80% more protection than without it and can last from 3-7 months. For me and Alice- WE WILL TAKE it. Bring it on. We will go with the SCIENCE.
