It helps to know I`m not alone. I`m still on oxygen and still get short of breath w any exertion but I`m trying 10 months after my hospitalization. I sometimes think it might be easier if we had an explanation on our foreheads! It sounds as though you have figured out how to deal w your condition and function to the best of your ability. I`ll have to take a page out of your survival guide and apply to my life. Learning from each other and support are important tools. It feels as though my life is divided into before and after covid.

The emotional divide between pre and post-covid is a giant crevasse to hurdle over. Some days I fall, others I can move forward with the help of this site, counseling & connections made through a zoom covid support group. I am still adjusting to my new normal after 20 months. As an ER nurse I worked with countless people who didn't survive-especially in 2020. Sometimes simple gratitude that I can wake up, brush my teeth, get dressed, drink coffee and look out the window puts my thoughts in a better direction.
