Survived COVID.
Submitted by: Vicky A.
Denver, CO.I spent 20 years in Law Enforcement and now I work in the private sector.
“The Secret to Health Masterclass” audio saved my life. I have read The Secret book, and watched The Secret movie years ago, and have always tried to follow the law of attraction.
In August 2021, I came down with a bad cough and was just really tired. I remember I was supposed to go golfing that morning, but I did not really want to go because I was so tired and could not stop coughing. When the person I was supposed to golf with wound up having to cancel. I remember being so relieved.
Later that day I had to take a friend to go pick up his new motorcycle that he just bought. On the way to pick him up, I decided to go through the drive-up COVID testing at my doctor’s complex. I got the COVID test, but I was pretty positive that I did not have it because all I had was a cough and feeling tired.
Later that day, I got a call from my doctor’s office telling me I was positive for COVID and had to quarantine for 14 days. I remember thinking that I could catch up on some sleep. About four days later, the cough continued to get worse, and I could not keep anything down because the cough was so bad. I called Kaiser and talked to a doctor in Urgent Care. He advised me to come in and that they would give me something to help with the cough and get me hydrated.
I went to Urgent Care, and they put in an IV and then started me on IV fluids. Then, they put me on oxygen because of the cough, saying it would help me breathe better. I remember thinking that I was breathing fine and just wanted something for the cough. I had no other symptoms at all. The cough continued to worsen over the next couple of hours, and I started to not feel so good.
I will never forget the doctor coming into the room and telling me that they were sending me to the hospital and were just waiting for the ambulance to arrive. During the couple of hours that I was in Urgent Care, my oxygen levels were dropping, and they felt I needed to go to the hospital. At that point, I did start to get scared but was also coughing really bad. Still, I figured that I would be in the hospital for no more than a day or two. I just wanted the cough to stop.
The ambulance got me to the hospital, and I was admitted to the COVID unit. They put me on oxygen and started me on some medicine for the cough and the nausea that started while in the ambulance. Over the next few days, my oxygen levels continued to drop, but they got the cough under control, and I was sleeping a lot.
Around day 4 or 5, I can’t remember exactly, but one of the specialists came in and told me that she felt I needed to be intubated as my breathing was getting worse. I remember that every time I got up to go the restroom, I had to remove the oxygen from my face, and I remember that every time I got back to my bed, the alarm would go off as my oxygen levels would drop really low and it was a struggle to breathe.
This was when I decided that they were not going to intubate me, and I would leave the hospital on my own. I had no family here in Colorado, but I had my phone and would talk to my twin sister every day. She agreed with me about refusing to be intubated, and she even spoke with the doctors and told them the same thing.
At that time, I told myself that my first goal was to be able to walk from my bed to the restroom and back to my bed and not have that alarm go off. I started to listen to the audiobook 0f ‘The Secret to Love, Health and Money‘, particularly the ‘health’ part. I would fall asleep listening to it. Every day, the doctor would come in and tell me how low my oxygen was and that I should be intubated, and again I would refuse.
I spent 11 days in the hospital without being intubated. I did have to leave with an oxygen tank, and I had to have a machine brought to my house. They told me that I would probably be on oxygen for the rest of my life as my lungs were damaged. I told them that I would be off the oxygen within a few months.
I was off the potable tank within a few weeks and only had to wear it when I slept. I was entirely off oxygen within three months. I had to see a therapist before they would release me. I passed all of the tests that they put me through, and I had them pick up the equipment that night.
I am living proof that the law of attraction works. I had my mind set that I would walk out of that hospital, and I kept that thought in my mind. The doctor who sent me to the hospital was so surprised when she saw me six months later.
Thank you so much to Rhonda for introducing me to The Secret.
