Lyntrell Picot has enough problems.
As a nurse who cared for the coronavirus afflicted only to be exposed and come down with it herself, the road to recovery has been a long one.
For the last three weeks, Picot is at her Terrytown townhome telling WWL-TV:
“The symptoms just got progressively worse, with shortness of breath and nausea and this piercing headache and basically every symptom.”
As if that wasn’t bad enough, a neighbor alerted her to her recently purchased car being vandalized.
“I was shocked,” Picot told the TV Station. “I look down, and I have no tires. All four tires, completely gone.”
Picot’s car was parked in front of her townhome, under her bedroom window. She said she didn’t hear a thing.
And to add insult to injury, she says she’d been getting the best sleep in weeks.
“No shortness of breath. No fever. I slept through the night, and I wake up to this.”
The emotional shock and stress has not been very good for Picot.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office has no leads to give her, and no suspects.
“I cried. Then you go through a phase where you're just angry,” she said. “I felt violated. Because we're all supposed to be at a stay-at-home mandate, right? But obviously they didn't get the memo, and they decided to vandalize my car.”
In the end, Picot is dealing with her insurance company and her car was towed off Friday afternoon.
Picot’s taking it one day at a time, the only way she can.
