Luigi,

It took me 1.5 years to get past only being able to walk 500’ and another 2 years to be able to suffer no ill effects from time at the gym.

I did ok at the gym if I carefully managed my heart rate....if I got it up on the higher aerobic end for sustained periods I had real after effects. I just did everything slower and easier and was quite happy to be able to do that after 1.5 years of laying around.

Missed 3 ski seasons.
