Summary
Shortly after, the person developed double pneumonia, spent a week on antibiotics and was discharged, then felt they were doing pretty well for about two months. Then one leg became extremely swollen, discoloured and leaked fluid; a CT scan found fluid in the lungs and pneumonia, oxygen saturation fell to the mid-80s on walking, and they spent ten days in hospital.
