It was after I got back from Las Vegas a day later that I started feeling bad. I started feeling the sniffles, I started feeling the cough. I started feeling all the symptoms of the flu and everything. And that's pretty much what I thought I had. I thought I was getting the flu, and I thought I was getting the sniffles. And I thought I was getting the coughs and the body aches. You know how it happens
I mean, it's amazing to me that I spent this whole three years, literally, since the pandemic came out in 2020 when we heard about this Covid, that I never got it until this day. And usually what happens is I'm a hermit. I'm a hermit by nature. So I really don't go out. So I pretty much stay at home and I just go out when I have to. But unfortunately, we did go to Vegas
And then I tried to lie down, and then it was the same issues. Like my chest was collapsing inside me. And the only time I would get, like, a sense of relief would be if I turned to the side. If I turned to the side. It was kind of like the way I said when I was getting up, when I was sitting up on my bed

So I'm very thankful that I'm able to taste food again. Very thankful. I got me some pizza yesterday and I was able to taste it for the very first time since I got sick. So I was grateful for that. And now all I have to, as you can see, I don't have cough anymore. I'm not coughing. I do have these little moments of cough that happen to me, just like little rushes and things

Hey, Luis. I just want to wish you well for 2024. Thank you for sharing this time with us and reflecting on the grace that you have now, the gratitude you have now. And I'm glad you didn't go on the ventilator. I'm glad you healed. I'm glad you don't have any long term feelings from having it and just stay healthy and stay day talking. You have a great way of telling stories, and you put a smile on my face
