    It’s so wild to hear that people don’t know this.

    I:

    • Fainted while watching TV on the couch.
    • Had a blood pressure of 80/40.
    • Have been to the ER twice.
    • Had long-running (over two years) chest pain, heart pounding, weight loss, vision differences, dizziness, shortness of breath.
    • Was so sick with those issues I was bed bound for months.
    • After I started feeling a little better, overdid it and put myself back to bed for a week. Twice. With easy shit like rearranging the canned goods cabinet.
    • Lost a tooth. (White lie, actually. I’m scheduled to have it extracted early February.)
    • Still have lingering heart pounding and dizziness on a not-infrequent basis.

    All from covid.

    I’m fortunate to be mostly recovered. It sucks that there are so many who haven’t recovered to speak of.
