Pete Edochie's Son, Uche Spends N6M Treating COVID-19 After It Damaged 80% Of His Lungs (Photo)

Uche Edochie, son of veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie took to his Instagram handle to share his experience of treating himself of COVID-19 after the ailment damaged 80% of his lungs, IgbereTV reports.

Sharing a photo of himself during his recovery at the COVID-19 isolation cente, he wrote;

"Me in recovery at the covid 19 isolation treatment facility in Gbagada around twelve days ago. My older brother @leoedochie paid me a visit. Best big brother ever. So Covid finally got me and it is quite some story.

When I fell sick weeks ago, I thought I had malaria. So I spent the first couple of weeks treating for malaria. By the time I realised this could be something else, it was too late. By the time I was rushed to the hospital, eighty percent of my lungs were damaged. I couldn't eat or breathe and I was on oxygen for weeks. I couldn't walk either and had severe chest pains. I kept blacking out. It felt like I was dying and waking up over and over again. I have never seen anything like this.

For the first time in my life, I had no control over anything. I felt like I was on a boat drifting away in the still of the night rudderless.The days that followed ed bye slowly and everything was a blur. I just laying in the hospital and floating endlessly like a feather in an abyss of nothing. The days turned to weeks and my recovery is going well. I am fully cured of covid now and I am able to walk a little. My lungs will take months to heal completely. So I am still on oxygen and other medications but I am back home.

Curing covid costs a fortune too and that is a problem. That is often why people die. The facility where I was treated charges N350,000 a day. I was there for twelve days before being moved to First Cardiology Centre in Ikoyi for my lung and heart rehabilitation. Total cost of my treatment so far has exceeded six million naira. I know a guy whose covid treatment cost seventeen million naira.
Governments must invest in affordable treatment or more and more people will die. Affordable treatment is our last line of defense. We have tried lock downs, masks and vaccines and covid is still spreading. Even the vaccinated are still catching covid.

And that was my covid experience. My family has been incredibly ive and so have the healthcare workers that took care of me. In all these people, I saw the face of God. I will never forget.

#covid19"

Jumbleds35:

So is Malaria, Accident, Bandits, Isa Pantami, Buhari, tuberculosis, and other killer diseases

We know
Rest

Him business

Covid is still out there. Protect yourself

According to NL Resident Pastor Righteousness2, COVID is not real and the vaccines are not safe.

A lot of folks here have even caught this virus, but they thought it was the normal malaria or flu.

The sheer ignorance on NL baffles me. From that vulture griller to the pastor who operates multiple monikers all in the name of evangelism.

COVID is real. May we never experience it before we believe it exists.
Go and take your jab now that it is free.

Don't forget you are living in a shithole country with no functional health insurance. The cost of staying in an ICU for a day is very high.

Hmmm

350k per day ... why ? Do they give them golden drip ?


Well let me not say what I don't know much about


Welcome back to the game .. we move

Revamp our health care system and stop parading London Hospital.
Pay our Doctors, Nurses and other health Practitioner well.

No .... according to spam righteousness2....COVID is not real

Get well soon

Many died , many richer and poorer people died

Just thank God


.

This Covid sef... I don't even understand.

How come no footballer have died out of Covid.

village president

He doesn't really look like his dad

Only if he had taken the vaccine, he would have saved 6 million without damaged lungs.

You can't have covid-19 without it leaving you with a permanent mark.

If you are smart, just go ahead and take the vaccine.

The rich can afford millions for treatment, the poor will be left in pains to die slowly.

May God help us all.

How the common man survives this Covid still baffles me.

Covid-19 brohaha
