I’m pretty much recovered. Say I’m about 85% back to normal. I’m using the same four-times-a-day inhaler I was using before I went into the hospital plus two others twice a day, but I’ve not used any oxygen since last Saturday, and that was just for a few minutes. I get winded after a little exertion, but if I sit I get over it. I hope I’ll be pretty much back to normal in another week or two. I’ll learn more after seeing the pulmonary specialist on the 24th of May.

When I went to the ER on the 5th they weighed me; I was at 149 lbs (I’m 5’10”). When I got home I was down to 145 lbs. I suspect I’ve gotten back to about 148 by now. I need some new scales.
