re: For those who recovered from COVID...

I tested positive on 12/28. I’m 39, and I have a blood condition that was discovered 5 years ago after a pulmonary embolism. I’m was at about 80% lung capacity before my COVID diagnosis and I’m at risk for additional blood clots.

My fatigue still gets me 2+ weeks after I was allowed out of self quarantine. Kept my smell and taste the whole time. Coughed so much my chest hurt. No pneumonia though. Had some weird dreams and woke up 5-7 times each night for no apparent reason. No blood clots though.

I have done some cardio. Jogged 5 miles on Saturday and coughed a bunch more. Needed a nap soon thereafter. Going to the gym for strength training in the afternoons after work and I come home, eat some food and usually crash right after. No more weird dreams and my sleep schedule is still a little longer than normal, due to crashing earlier in the evening.

I’m sorry to see that your dad is having a rough go of it. May the doctors and nurses utilize their skills and knowledge to lead him out of this safely.
