Life After Long Covid
Zoe's story of the good, the bad and the ugly everydayness of life with Long Covid.
Zoe’s not entirely sure how to make sense of the last couple of years. But she’s going to give it a go.
This is her story of the good, the bad and the ugly everydayness of life with Long Covid. Via life-saving phone calls, cloud-gazing park walks, homeschooling squabbles, summer holidays that don't feel like summer holidays, and lots of lying in bed.
And now it's December 2022, over two and a half years after Zoe first got ill. Life is not all Christmas chocolate boxes and Ding Dong Merrily on High. It’s still really hard sometimes. But it is getting easier. There is singing and music-making again. There is hope.
