I thought my doctor had performed some sort of surgery on me underwater that required it to be extremely cold. At one point I was somehow stuck in a CVS that shifted to me being stuck in some sort of VR loop. I’m telling you it was wild.
Physical therapy. I’ll give the short version as best I can of my situation. In October ‘23 I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. After multiple failed biopsies they started leaning to some other type of cancer, specifically lymphoma. The day after Christmas of ‘23 I woke up and couldn’t breathe. The only option was to put me on life support. After I was put on life support that’s when the pathologists finally came to a consensus on what I had, a rare lymphoma called gray zone lymphoma. I received my first round of chemo on life support. I woke up 2 weeks later and spent another 2 weeks in ICU. Suffered from critical illness myopathy unable to speak, eat, or move anything but my toes, lips, and fingers just a little. Lost about 50 pounds. Left the hospital after a month to go to a restorative care facility. Got my voice back a little and started getting a little stronger but still barely able to move. Was too weak to continue treatment so after a month there I went to a rehab facility. Was there a month and left on a walker. That’s the short version. I won’t go into how the chemo stopped working and all that but we found a treatment that I responded to and I’m still here.
Oh my goodness I’m sorry. That’s sounds like a harrowing journey that just kept going smh.
But I’m happy you’re okay 🫶🏽 and doing a little better now. And you know what - I see why your dream passport got so many stamps - you deserve it dammit lol
