Biography

I got covid in August of 2020.  I nearly lost my life l was in ICU, hospital for two weeks,  l was in  rehab for my lungs and to help me walk. I also had blood clots in my lungs. I have been diagnosed with restrictive lung disease. I have pulmonary fibrosis and l am on oxygen. I have a cough, and at times pain in my rib cage and across the top part of my chest. About ten months ago l developed hoarseness when l talk. I am now experiencing terrible pain in my legs, and arms.  It is difficult getting up because my knees seem useless, and very difficult going up stairs. I am having trouble raising my right arm.  The exhaustion is over the top. I have been on prednisone but my doctor wanted me to try not to take it. It is very embarrassing at the amount of weight l have gained, and when l see my heart doctor next month he will be shocked.  Around the time l was in the hospital for covid l was diagnosed with congested heart failure. The sound of those words don’t give me a lot of hope.
