I know one of the things that is common with Covid "survivors" is one kind of heart issue or another. I don't feel I could withstand one more of those.
2 prosthetic valves (one tissue, one titanium) from Staph A infection in my heart, and I'm still nowhere hear back from where I was in 2009, when it all started. I'll be 68 in 2 weeks, so I'm sure I'll never be all the way back, especially given recent developments.
2 weeks ago, i went in for what turned out to be my final recommended colonoscopy - I can have others voluntarily, but there is no more medical necessity. That went splendidly, but the aftermath was the tale told by the monitor. A pulse of 28BPM is not optimum for peak health, apparently, so a 2 hour procedure turned into 8 days and a pacemaker.
I really identify with this young(?) man and his struggle back. It is NOT easy.
