So, had a bit of energy after two low weeks. Spent it yesterday and today on a coffee social visit at my parents and my mother in law (an hour each), and ...
Baking pancakes this evening!
How? Semiseated with a stool and NC headphones.
Now đĒĢ
but satisfied
My #LongCovid life
And as I expected... Payback follows. Lower HRV and feeling more exhausted. So, PJ day... Extra relaxation exercise. Limiting screentime.
And getting a nice little lunch on the couch made by himself đĨ°
Toasted bread with cheese and cranberry juice.
Started a new drawing. Slowly choosing colours. Saturday the figures. Today the furniture and books. Rather like how this is turning out.
Too much sunlight now though. Hurts my head, pins and needles. (Such a punishment for me as a sunlover... Not being able to enjoy bright skies anymore)

As crochet, crossword puzzle and SocMed is too much today, I decided to pick up where I left off almost a year ago (finished Egyptian figure)
Spent an hour slowly colouring in a different colour scheme. Getting a feel for the pencils and drawings. This one isn't too fiddly but with enough detail.
New #hobby in my #LongCovid life

In a rollercoaster week. Today a visit from one of my dear coworkers. She comes bearing gifts from the team. Even though I'm on my way out, they keep sending flowers, short messages and now these beautiful earrings đ
Though energy is very low and I talked too much, it was so nice to have a half hour coffee drink...

En na drie goede dagen een magere dag (ondanks bewuste rustdag woensdag). Een magere dag = wakker worden en meteen all off voelen. Allerlei symptomen (keelpijn, snotneus, fuzzy hoofd, druk op de borst en uiteraard energiedip) spelen op.
Dag liggend op de bank met af en toe wat socmed, lezen en diner op schoot. Vanavond nog wat vroeger naar bed en dan hopen dat het hierbij blijft.

Weer een redelijke dag, dus een rondje hondje in de wijk. Langs wat we grappend "het fjord" noemen. Zijarm van Wilhelminakanaal met wandelpaadje erlangs. Yana mag los. Ze past zich inmiddels helemaal aan aan mijn đĸ
tempo. Snuffelen, gras eten, eendjes kijken.
We ruiken de winter al bijna.

After 4 weeks of staying within my 2 hour energy envelope, keeping HR under 105 (peak, resting is 60-75), limiting screen time, stopped working... I start to climb out of the very low HRV and Body battery. Feeling tiny bit brighter. Now to keep and expand this.
Walking with my lovely dog Yana will hopefully be a more regular thing again. I'm at max 1500 meters now. Think I got the micropacing of physical activity now. Watching Garmin when about and restrict length and speed. đĸ đ
it is đ

So, 18months after C19 infection. 1,5 year partial/full sickleave. 15months LongCovid. Knowing a bit more, having changed my life drastically. Time for a new thread as I'm feeling like a new phase is starting:
Consider myself a #LongCovid longhauler now
(Mostly housebound. Bell 20-30, Funcap moderate, Dafoe severe)
