Summary
Horizon 89657 developed sleep apnea after COVID and had been recovering for the past year, with progress coming in waves. They managed gentle yoga, stretching and walking various distances, taking it slow to keep a decent baseline, while worsening asthma limited pushing. A CPAP machine helped immensely with recovery and rest, and improving sleep was described as crucial. They were still recovering.
