Robert Apgar
First I want to thank everyone for all of your prayers and kind well wishes. In addition to facebook posts I have gotten numerous texts, and phone calls. I am humbled by how many people near and far have reached out to me during my illness.
I feel a little better and some of my symptoms are a bit better. some of you have asked about or suggested getting the monoclonal antibodies which I have done. I got them at the state site in Ormond. I hope that helps over the next several days. I registered online. At that site the antibodies are given by injection- 4 shots one in each arm and one on each side of my abdomen. Process was fairly easy. You do have to wait 1 hour after the shots though.
Again thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.
