'When I got COVID-19, it probably didn’t surprise anybody that I put up a fight. Eventually, against all odds, I came out standing.' At 90 years old, Geneva Wood is a coronavirus survivor. The great-great grandmother shares her story:
I’ve always loved John Wayne movies, where the good and the bad guys are crystal clear and the strong, tough cowboy always prevails.
Then I got a high fever and my lungs began filling with fluid. I was in a senior care center recovering from a broken hip at the time. At first doctors thought I had bronchitis and pneumonia and they transferred me to the hospital. Given what’s going on in the world, they tested me for coronavirus too, and that test came back positive. At the time, I didn’t really know enough about the virus to be scared. I just felt terrible and lethargic and wanted to be left alone.
My mother’s homemade potato soup has always been my favorite food. I eat it all the time at home, and that’s what I wanted when I finally started to improve. So, my family cooked some up and brought it in. The nurses kept a container in the refrigerator and every time I got hungry – they’d bring me a cup. I do feel like that soup helped me get strong and improve. That’s all I lived on in the hospital. Well, that and coffee.
