I can relate to your despair and your delight at recovery. It took me a good 8 months from the time of my ATG until I began to feel better. I'm not up for a 4 mile run, but then I'm 72 and I didn't run before!
You're so right. We celebrate the "normal" which other people take for granted. I'm happy that I now have the energy to water my tomato plants every day. Three years ago I didn't even consider planting tomatoes because I knew I couldn't take care of them.
Each person's recovery is different. When we look at the expected turn-around of 3 months and expect that for ourselves, we are doomed for disappointment.
Good for you, Kevin!
