As many people and courses mention; if your health is bad it affects all other areas of your life. Because I never experienced it in this way before, I decided to write about it. As you all know I survived thromboses 3 times, and that hasn’t been easy. But experiencing Covid-19 twice (or more) is a bigger issue for me.<\/p>
That’s why I bought myself a spinning bike. It allows me to bike every day and sleep or rest in my own space. Since I wasn’t able to go to the gym anymore, and the government made the gym close just after my decision to quit for a few months, I was biking outside. I even went out for a run, but then I got this severe backpain just before Christmas it went downhill again. <\/p>
My Covid-19 long hauler symptoms have gone worse too, since. I’m more tired, feeling stuffy and I have palpitations again. My smell and taste are gone again. I’m having a bit of a cold and feel chilly. I still only manage a few things a day. I get frustrated about it because I was doing well in rebuilding in September 2020. The doctor told me it’s common for Covid-19. Recovery is a long path with ups and downs.<\/p>
After my clot had been solved in June 2020, I had physical therapy, went biking, and after 2,5 months, I went back to the gym. Four months after my vein was free of clots, I got back some of my stamina till the pain in my calf got unbearable. I worked so hard all these months and didn’t want to lose my stamina again. <\/p>
I still have trouble accepting this, knowing and experiencing the more I fight it, the less progress I make. Since I made a list of the most important things, I stick to that. The list priorities are still sleeping, eating, resting, and exercising (walking and biking). Walking and biking are still in the first stage because I get stuffy.
Writing in English is what I love to do next. A new hobby I developed during this period of being ill. I think it’s because my word-finding problems always existed in this second language. Reading is still so hard, it still doesn’t stick. I keep on trying by listening and reading at the same time.<\/p>
Because I can’t trust my own body, I’m at home a lot. When I go outside, I won’t go far from my house, and only when I had enough rest. During walks with my daughter, she tries to fast-forward me because I walk like a granny. Afterward, I always sleep for one hour or more. It felt I was going short on her as a mother. Her accepting this is a great gift for me. It makes it easier to accept it myself. Although she’s ten, I think she likes the space she gets for herself.<\/p>
Taking my rest makes it possible for me to prepare healthy meals. Otherwise, I’m too tired to focus on cooking. Besides this, I have to choose activities. The acceptance that it will never be the same as before and be happy with things I can manage make it easier to cope. I also hope that starting with the basics, ruled by my body’s needs, helps me getting a bit of my daily routine back.<\/p>
