At @nyulangone - I’m baaack! About two months after my hospital discharge, I’m seeing the pulmonologist today for a follow-up on the state of my lungs post-#COVID19.

They were very efficient. I did the preliminary paperwork using their @nyulangone MyChart app. Hardly any waiting - I arrived early and was in a hospital gown by 2:30, my appointment time. X-rays done by 2:40.
Positive news: my chest x-ray looks good. I’ll have a CT scan at my next visit in September.
Left: my lungs while I was on the ventilator (cloudy). Right: my lungs today (relatively clear).

I consider myself very lucky in my post-#COVID improvement. My pulmonologist said he’s seen a number of post-#Covid_19 patients with severe, permanent lung damage - to the point where they need transplants. (He directs @nyulangone’s lung transplant program.)
