Peter Lederman in Second Bout With COVID-19
I saw on Facebook late last night that Mike Fremer told one of his Audio Friends that he heard from Peter Lederman of Soundsmith that he is suffering his second round with COVID. Peter said he has blood clots on his lungs. That is all the post said. Here is hoping that Peter pulls through with a full recovery.

I have just enough energy to post. What hppaned tome is thsat I was infected a second time with Covid, and not realizing it, went for my second Pfizer shot. 4 hours later, felt like I was hit by a truck. Went 4 days at home, got a PCR test (positive) and next morning called an ambulance. My D-DImer blood test was 6000 instead of .5. Cat scan showed many large clots, and a "saddle PE" that was so large that the doc told me if I had waited, or if had been a bit larger, I would have died. It passed through my heart and hung up on the saddle feeding both lungs. Transferred to cardiac center at Westcheter Medical Center, where they debated whether to operate. Had been on blood thinners too long - so no surgery to remove clot. 6 days in hell there. Then home on thinners to care for myself (I live alone). I am the world's worst cook. I pray before, during and after I eat. Got my dog back, but he is sick from being in the shelter. He is on antibiotics now and getting a bit better. Feel worse for him. Quarantined for a total of 4 weeks. Can go out starting Tuesday for doc appointments - many complications. Hard to breathe, Slowly getting better, but lots of after effects. What I had was a huge immune response to a second Covid infection, and the shot COMBINED. I am also immune compromised due to medication. Folks should consider a PCR test 4 days BEFORE second shot to be safe. Soundsmith is partially open with many employees who were ill with Covid now able to return. Thank you for all the well wishes. This has NOT been fun, or without stress wondering if I will wake up each day, But each day the risk of the large clot moving is lower. They told me 4-6 months to resolve clots to "whatever level possible". - peter Ledermann |
@retipper With all that you are dealing with, to take the time (and the precious energy) to write a message to us as part of the audio community is just remarkable. In my eyes and thoughts it elevates your action to heroic and is a statement of your endearing character. Here is every hope and prayer that this string of 'awful-luck' is behind you and better days are ahead. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
