I had a rough time with Covid back in Nov '20. Got sick a few days before Thanksgiving and was sick for a few weeks but not bad enough to go to the hospital. Fast forward to late December and my blood pressure was elevated to 224/124 and stayed in the hospital for a few days. The wait in the ER was over 8 hours long due to the amount of covid patients at that time, and I went out to the car to get a quick vape late in the evening. My last one for 623 days. When I was released, I headed to the car and immediately picked up the vape and told myself not to do it and put it back into the console where it stayed until a few weeks ago when I threw it away trading in that car.
Now today, I've been fighting a sinus infection of some sort for 10 days, and for some reason I've just been wanting to vape again. Guess I always believed the vape helped sinus infections and such or was just a convenient excuse. I snuck into my wife's vaping stuff and took a few drags outside. Funny thing is she knew I was up to something!!
Not sure how I feel about this. I know I miss it at times. I know my daughters will be disappointed. When I did vape, and I vaped A LOT, I could easily run 20+ miles and ran 2000 miles a year, so I feel as if it wasn't hurting me too much. That's a huge change from cigarettes, where I could barely walk up a hill. I think it's been 6 or 7 years since I've had a cigarette. I'm 54 yrs old now. Still occasionally run and MTB, but nothing like I used to do.
Not sure where I'm going with this post, think I'm just ranting and thinking out loud on a forum.
