3 yrs 8 months still unable to work

I am so sorry for your situation and suffering. Do you mind my asking how you're able to afford expenses? Were you able to get disability? Five years for me and still having to work, as otherwise would not have financial means. Every day is a struggle. I have to triage everything. I can do stuff, but it takes longer to process and leaves me more exhausted than before. I wish I could quit and retire, but need the insurance, even though nothing in terms of treatment has been covered by insurance. I wish you all the best in your healing. I, too, was working healthcare when I contracted original variant.

Yes, things are a struggle, financially speaking. My husband is working thankfully. For now, our needs are being met but loss of my salary is certainly being felt. My heart goes out to you with pushing forward with work. I attempted twice unsuccessfully to return to work. I've been out again now for three months. Up until collapsing at work this second return, I was pretty hopeful but now, I'm not sure what the future holds. Doing my best to get myself back to where I was before returning (energy/ability-wise). In my heart, I feel as if I have many more years of working (wanting to work) left in me, but the reality tells me "Maybe not".
Sending you gentle hugs for continued improvement. Certainly, enough to make working so much more manageable as you approach retirement. I pray for COMPLETE healing for all of us. Blessings to you.
