When my Dad was sick, they told his wife ‘a week of rehab for each day in the ICU’ or something like that, so the weakness and fatigue are normal, if frustrating.

Five years ago this month Mr. w saved our neighbor’s life. The neighbor had come home for lunch, and told Mr. w he had chest pain and was going to lie down. Mr. w said, ‘If you don’t call 911, I’m going to.’ The neighbor had an aortic dissection. He was flown to Phoenix for surgery. It’s amazing he lived through it. He quit smoking that day. He’s happy and pretty healthy now, but trying to get on disability because he can’t work any more. Despite many frustrations, you never met anyone so happy to be alive.
