Teddi Mellencamp Had ‘Very Different’ COVID-19 Experience Compared to Unvaccinated Husband
“He has since realized what a big mistake that was.”
Teddi Mellencamp revealed that she and her husband Edwin Arroyave had COVID-19 “a while back.”
She was vaccinated while Arroyave was not, “which he has since realized what a big mistake that was,” she explained.
However, one of Mellencamp’s strongest symptoms was a “lingering dizzy feeling” that has continued to creep up after recovery.
I learned a lot of things in the process, I was vaccinated and my husband was not, which he has since realized what a big mistake that was,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum explained. “In his mind he was like, ‘Well you’re vaccinated so we’re good. I’m staying in the house.’ He had a lot of those justifications that I know a lot of people out there have but what ended up happening is we both had COVID and we both had to quarantine from our family.”
The 40-year-old added that she “got through it quicker,” and was only down for six days as opposed to Arroyave’s 15. But even then, she said it was not an easy ride.
“[It was a] total mind game. Some days you think that you’re good and the next day you’re having these intense sweats,” she recounted. “It was so many different things and it was really a great reminder to get vaccinated. If people are saying ‘Wear a mask,’ then wear a mask. Do whatever you can because I can say how extremely difficult it was to not be around my kids.”
One of Mellencamp’s strongest symptoms was a “lingering dizzy feeling” that has continued to creep up after recovery. “I would feel like I was laying on a waterbed and when I would get up I would feel dizzy,” she explained.
She tried to think nothing of it until she recently fainted after jumping out of bed to tend to her daughter in the middle of the night. The fall left her with a busted lip and bruised face, which she shared pictures of on Instagram.
“I jumped up fast and ran into the room and by the time I got there I couldn’t even get my bearings. My eyes went black and I fainted," she recounted on the podcast. “I then tried to quickly pull myself up, which I have since found out is something you’re not supposed to do. When I did that is when I really fell hard and crashed into my lip.”
Since the accident, the mom of three has worked with doctors to navigate the best next steps. “It was a really scary experience. I still felt really foggy and just not like myself ever since,” she said.
“But I am one of those people that when something happens, I am diligent about wanting to understand why it happened.”
—(I wonder if today she even allows herself to consider it is due to the vaccine?)—
