troponin what?

Lousy sleep. 

Bad dreams. 

I had a little patient 

Who wandered off

And I couldn’t find him. 

I need to go back to sleep 

And figure out where he is. 

LOL 

I have a bad dream like once 

every 4 or 5 years. 

Kicking those steps’ butts! 

Indoor walk at the grocery store. 

Google hits on vaxx 

And Troponin levels.

This was in the ER 

Way back in March. 

2 weeks AFTER my second Pfizer.  

No freaking wonder they ran this lab. 

CK levels all normal 

So no real acute MI. 

Or was it post vaxx? 

God I’m so mad at covid 

I could … vomit?

Die? Spit?

I guess I nearly did all 3. 

They did a troponin POC

(Point of care) second test 

And it was 0.19 

Normal values for troponin 

0.00 to 0.04. 

Mine were 10 times normal. 

Then, along in May

- 6 weeks later -

This high CRP 

3 times normal!

All the inflammation! 

They didn’t run a CRP 

In April at the VA. 

Still at the Air BnB 

Getting some Vitamin D

Iced Kona Covefe  at the poolside. 

I wanted to do some fasting and walking

But I’m too freaking tired

And it’s too hot

And I’m just gonna take it easy 

For a while. 

Rest & Digest for now. 

I will be more aggressive 

When I feel better. 

So I now concede

That the doctors were right. 

I probably had covid

Way back in December 2019

Before it even had a name. 

On the plus side - I lived. 

Although I was pretty sick

And had a Near Death Experience. 

Then came the shots. 

And I flew into a storm 

Of inflammation. I’m glad I was

Low Carb already. 

I’m convinced that low carb

And intermittent fasting 

Saved me. 

Now to get back to thriving!
