Thank you, I am over the critical phase hopefully and wish for your brother to be on the healing road too. At first I was really scared because I am engine mechanic and this is my engine, inside me that I can not fix. Feeling like a fully build up engine with a restrictor must "feel".
Doctors are saying I will recover, not fully but chances are good for recovery, to not be too much restricted. I can walk on my own and do gain stamina slowly. I know other's got hit worse with it, no matter what the reason, COVID, the jab, or a precondition of the heart. It's, for me, not important, at least I tell myself that. I have to, because otherwise I think I would get depressions over the "jab was the reason"-idea. Amazing what the human mind is capable off when used rational on itself.
Currently it's more important to me to find a balance in taking it serious and not worrying too much. The next couple month I have to keep it real cool with any load. I should not carry weight or any stress. ACE dampers are the main medication currently, I can't get the other type because they are hard on the kidney and liver sometimes, so the docs do not risk anything there.
So no quick movements, no scares, not allowed / able to work physically a lot, practically the death jab for my engine shop. At least the insurance gave green light for up to 18 months of paying 75% of my average income and depends on how fast I can get a place in physical rehabilitation and progress there. Going back to an office job probably if I get one and may quit the shop, races and fast cars in general. It surprises me a bit how (currently) easy that feels.
MO for the next months will be healing and looking into the future with optimism. Everything else I can not afford. I will also tone down my active presence in any discussion that can get heated, just not worth it. But I don't see that being an issue here.
