5 for me. 

I'm wary of it because 1) anesthesia has a cumulative effect over a lifetime, the more times we're under, the greater risk we're at for memory loss/gaps in memory/learning retention problems, and 2) while every surgery/situation is different, in general it's by far the riskiest part of surgery.  If you read the fine print, they're pretty honest that if they put you under, they have no guarantees they can get you back.  We literally sign our life away in those forms we fill out. 

That said, it's still a minimal risk statistically speaking.  Never had problems, don't know anyone who has, and I have an old buddy and also a cousin's wife who are both anesthesiologists, and they've never had a problem with their patients that I know of.  Like most things, age and other health conditions change the risk factor quite a bit, and we have multiple patients either we as PCP or their cardiologists refuse to clear for surgery.  If PCPs or cardiology dropped the ball more, or surgeons didn't get clearances when warranted, we'd undoubtedly hear about failure to revive surgical patients more often. 

Safe as it is, I don't take it lightly. 

After that 8 hour deal, it took a long time for me to be able to have a ... movement, shall we say. That was the worst part.

The longest one after that was about 2.5 hours for a failed back surgery. F that guy.

I tested myself this week and came out negative, as I suspected.

We were in Cabo and I got really sick - worst I've felt in years and years. We were there 10 days and I spent 6 of them in bed. Messaged my doctor and he told me to go find a ZPAC, which is OTC in Mexico. Did that and it started to clear. Lungs, sinus, ears, eyes - all had stuff coming out/up. Brown stuff. Nasty.

Figured it wasn't Covid since the antibiotic worked.

Would much rather have Covid than what I went through down there.

I recovered completely for the 3rd time. While I am good at getting it, I am good at showing it the door, too. I have had COVID-19, once each year. My wife has never contracted it.
I think some people are more resistant to getting it. Science could learn something from studying people like us. When I have it, we meet in the kitchen occasionally. I am anxious when she walks right by me when I am standing over the stove. I usually try to wear a mask when I am near her when I have COVID-19, but that's a bit difficult to do all the time, especially when I am around food. I am more careful around my wife than she is around me. And, I know we slept in the same bed in the early course of this each time before I tested +, and thereafter slept on the sofa downstairs. But, I usually face my mug toward the alarm clock and away from her.
I am curious about the experience of others on here when one person in the family gets it -- are family members living with them getting it, as well?

Last year at Fantasy Camp, we had to wear a mask in the training room, no where else.  This year, no masks anywhere by anyone.  The hurricane damage was significant.

(I did see a few in public with masks.)

My wife tested positive once, had minor symptoms, I never did, never had it that I know of, had a cold once, tested negative at home.  I wonder if some variant could be spreading around with such mild symptoms no one knows about it.

Maybe an elderly person would show enough to get tested.

That could be happenstance, not any real affinity or internal resistance.  It also could be some of us got it and didn't know it.  My wife barely knew she was somewhat ill, she was sneezing a lot and ran a fever briefly.

I have a quarantine idea and it starts with Brandon,Helosi & Hunter
