SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) - When I got my discharge papers to leave the hospital, I was ecstatic. I was so eager to put Covid in the rearview and move on with my life.
But little did I know, my hospitalization was just the beginning of my journey.The early weeks of my recovery seemed to be going well.
Yes, there were endless doctor's appointments, but it seemed like a small price to pay to be out of isolation and back at home.
That rosy perspective started to wilt away about 6 weeks into my recovery.When I left the hospital, it took me two weeks to build the confidence and lung capacity to walk up a single flight of stairs.
