Hi Brunette10, lots of good advice and tips on here for you, especially about the oximeter as recommended by Marydoll. The oximeter is so easy to use, and easily available from Amazon if you’re not going out yet. As Marydoll says, your oxygen readings should be above 96 normally, but my consultant told me 92 is okay for a Covid patient. I was discharged with a reading of 92 as I was hospitalised for twelve days with Covid last January. When I got home, complete with a hospital acquired infection which then required further antibiotic treatment, I would say it took me about three months to recover fully. During the first six weeks after discharge I made the biggest recovery, and afterwards I recovered slowly, with little improvements week by week. Walking was difficult, walking upstairs was even more difficult, I continued to be quite breathless, especially when speaking, and I had a lot of chest pain, especially in the region where the pneumonia was situated. I still have some chest pain now from time to time. So that gives you an idea of time to recovery and what to expect as time goes on. I hope it’s helpful.
Get well soon. Don’t push yourself, just let your recovery take however long it takes.
