This will, must be, longish. Sorry!

15 months ago started spittig tiny bit of blood, just once first thing each morning. I WAS a 'professional' smoker for 65 years. I had absolutely no other symptoms of anything. Was as fit as a flea, never ill in 65 years since pneumonia aged 16.

Scans showed 6 cm lump in right lung and within 3 months, 366 days ago, had a partial, lower right, Lobectomy ..... which was great, a 'stroll in the park' and I came out feeling fine, just as very well and healthy as I had been previously.

(I had, have, however always been a 'victim' of super low blood pressure ..... thus a professional fainter, dizziness person, regularly.)

3 weeks later I caught up with Covid again, my 2nd go. Was wiped out. 4 weeks in bed, weak as a kitten, no appetite. Lost about 8, possibly even 10, kgs! Could barely stand unsupported, especially when getting up at night to pee.

I was, almost coincidentally, because of a precautionary concern by my daily treating nurse, admitted to hospital for a suspected heart problem ..... not me, really, never! But it did  Eventually identified a right main artery somewhat furred up ..... bloody cigarettes, bloody stupid ME! So a 2 Stent insertion ..... all brilliantly painless and successful.

Then 2 months of primarily 'cardiac targeted' physio, 3 hours per day ...... bike, walking, breathing exercises, and limited static gymnasium stuff ..... some improvement in leg strength and breathing but regular moments of total faintness, weakness and breathlessness.

Just started 3rd month when, inevitably, after my 4th Covid jab I caught up with my 3rd and 4th doses of the damned thing in quick succession.

And so now here I am, desperately short of breath, especially if the air turns damp, eyes streaming at night, peeing (little, weak stream, NO discomfort) 2 or 3 times per night, tightness of chest (as though truck parked thereon!), frequent vomiting up of recent meal through total and it's bloody awful. discomfort, seeming conflict between chest (sternum) and stomach, desperately weak, fragile, and almost permanent aches and pains, especially lower back, a lot of the time.

I have been on 3 monthly IRM scans, all 100% good, clear, and top medical 'control', surveillance. I HAVE regained my appetite, not hugely, but adequate (never a great eater anyway.) Seem to have plateaud out at my new 70 kgs weight (1.80 metres tall.) I do, I have to, walk my poor mutt 30-60 minutes per day ..... not the brisk energetic pleasure it used to be, my current max limit seeming to be about 2 kms on a really good, better, day.

But ..... the punch line ..... I just feel pathetic, weak as a kitten, ill, 'near to death', pretty well all the time. What the devil is wrong? Please, people, any ideas?
