From the Capital=Joournal:
Former Rossville High and veteran Washburn Rural football coach Steve Buhler confirmed Wednesday that he and his wife, Hayden president Shelly Buhler, both tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month and said both are on the road to recovery.
Steve Buhler said he started experiencing COVID-19 symptoms about Aug. 4-5.
“It was chills, with a fever, cold, sinus, all the things they talk about with the COVID,″ Buhler said. “There were quite a few of them at the beginning.″
Buhler went in to be tested for the coronavirus almost immediately after the symptoms began.
“Part of that was because Shelly had tested positive like the day before,″ Buhler said. “When I woke up that morning with the chills and everything I had a pretty good idea.″
Buhler did experience complications a short time later, but said he is starting to show daily improvement.
“They found a spot of pneumonia and that kind of blossomed into having pneumonia in both lungs,″ he said. “The medical people put me on some medication for the pneumonia and, other than still having a cough, I’m up moving around and I’m working from home right now.
“Most of this week I’ve been doing stuff online for classes, getting ready like everybody else. It was a rough couple of days with the pneumonia part, but I’m hoping that when I have my doctor’s visit (Thursday) everything will be just fine.″
Steve said that Shelly is also recovering and has been working from home.
“She had a pretty mild case of it,″ Steve said. “She’s been up and around taking care of me. Within three days she was up working and back at it again for the most part here at home, doing her isolation stuff that she was supposed to do.″
Steve said that he and his wife have also been trying to do their due diligence as far as following through with proper COVID-19 protocols.
“We’ve been through all the tracing and followed through with the county and all of those kinds of things and we honestly couldn’t tell you where it came from,″ Buhler said.
