So... finally got a visit from a phys therapist. Just a 15-minute walk, gave me seziures be the end. And a 15-minute lecture on how the brain creates weakness and pain and a dozen other new ways to say Im not trying hard enough and have female hysteria.
I finally blew up and asked her if she had ever called a 47 year old man a liar. And asked how much a ticket to Switzerland costs. (RIght to die.)
I fucked up. She wasn’t to blame, but I couldn't listen to that "it's all in your mind" talk again.
You can't isolate people in pain for years and not expect them to get angry. #longcovid
