for those of you who don’t know i recovered from covid19 in april

today my heart rate hung out at 140 bpm for hours and now i’m in the ER for possible blood clots

when i tell you this happened out of nowhere, i mean it

& once again ring was my 1st indicator something was up

so the good news is d-dimer shows no clots

bad news is

“this might be how your body fights fevers from now on”

(i barely have a fever, it’s only 100)

so.. resting 140 bpm spikes & 12 ms hrv whenever i get an infection.. could be my new post covid normal

sigh, still in er

was able to come home

they got my bpm and blood pressure back down to near my baselines

hrv is a bit more challenging, lots of variables

left is hrv thursday
right is hrv now

all signs point to: i had my first cold since covid and this is my normal for now

“normal”:

- slight fever of 100
- relaxing
- eating soup
- heart jumps to 140bpm
- sits there
- blood pressure sky rockets
- i have to go to an ER if i can’t bring them down myself

wth

the science of becoming more effective is a mysterious one.

brute force doesn’t help here. more work, hours, and inputs won’t necessarily translate into being more effective.

i started really thinking about this concept after reading sj discuss it when he first met jony ive

while reviewing the work jony had been prototyping for years, sj said: “fck, you’ve not been very effective, have you?"

the work was great, but jony hadn’t been effective in getting it through the org politics and out to the masses.

then i got to thinking about when sj wasn’t so effective himself. (younger years)

in ~1979 sj was begging woz to implement a version of basic, with floating point numbers but it didn’t happen and apple ended up having to go with microsoft

we all know how that ended up..

i can’t think of any generation defining startup that was founded after 2014

facebook for example went from $0 to a $104 billion market cap in seven years (2005 and then went pub in 2012) i cant think of any startup growing at that speed founded after 2014

google for example was founded in 1998 and reached a 100b market cap in 2005 (odd coincidence - seven years as well)

i hestitated putting this out there because i am a person who desperately seeks validation from others (unfortunately)

my biggest fear was a whole bunch of people would be like “you don’t even know if you have it!”

and i just don’t have the spirit to deal with that right now

but just in case there are people out there that will gain something from me sharing my experience, i felt a need to share my what’s been happening to me over the last 15 days

so here it goes

15 days in the life of a (presumed) covid 19 positive patient

day 1 (of symptoms)

already self isolating

sudden fever spike and runny nose

fever in a matter of minutes went from 100 to 102

i thought the thermometer was broken

i took advil because i hadn’t learned you shouldn’t take nsaids yet

fever broke, i wrote it off as a cold
