@Amouranth Take all the time you need my friend. Healing from something like this is not easy but it does get better eventually. I know because I’ve been in your shoes myself.
My first time back in the water since I’ve had avian flu and nearly had my kidneys shut down due to extreme dehydration. After I was better I started hitting the weights and doing a lot of cardio and on this dive I swam over a mile on the surface and underwater.
