Well this is pretty much what I'm doing :P I just got up and it's 4pm :(
I'm sure it'd be worse if I got long covid but there's always someone who has it worse. Knowing that doesn't make it any easier for me. I just feel like the depressing impact of the measures is very much overlooked.
Of course I'm not the most stable person. I've had issues with depression all my life. That, and living alone makes it super difficult.
That might not be what you want to hear, but 70k in NYC is a bad salary..
Why wuld you want a side hustles when you can double your salary ? That may not be easy, but it's doable. Side hustles: improves; so you can get a good salary.
It took about 100 days before my wife could start working again, and she is still experiencing chest pain, breathlessness and fatigue (at first symptoms + 115 days).
She was told to endure and rest. What a great plan.
By that I mean, endure ... sure, but focus hopefully on calisthenics, breathing exercises, yoga, taking supplemental vitamins and improving physical fitness.
Typically post surgery doctors recommend PT ... I'm just saying start some regular PT post illness -- not "rest".
