How’s her energy and breathing?
@LuFins-Dad breathing sucks. Carrying groceries upstairs is an effort.
Overall energy is OK.

Steve is also having terrible trouble with smells. It started last fall after we think we caught both Covid a second time. He lost smell and taste, now his taste is at back to about 50% and things smell really weird. Like he can’t cope with coffee anymore, it smells terrible, not at all like coffee. And all of the sudden he’ll get a really strong smell that he’s never smelled before, they sometimes makes his eyes water, sharp, irritating, burning metallic smells. He says they are hard to describe but it pretty depressing.

wow! Sorry to hear that it continues!!
Sending more positive thoughts!!

Just wondering how your daughter is doing in her battle with long COVID? Any progress?
-
Thanks for asking, @taiwan_girl !
Overall, she's better, but far from good.
Shortness of breath continues to be an issue, but she's doing exercises to build up stamina. Last year a flight of stairs was daunting, but, with exercise and training (going on hikes) she's doing better.
Last weekend she went to Holy Hill in SE Wisconsin, where she climbed up to the scenic tower.
Smells continue to be an issue as well, but slowly, slowly getting better. Parosmia is a pain in the arse.
Foods have to be spicy for them to taste like anything other than cardboard.
So, overall, better. But, still not good.

Indian food can be good, too. They usually call for a LOT of spices, though the taste doesn't necessarily blow your head off. Also, a lot of it is "set it and forget it": meat & spices in a slow cooker or pot on low for awhile, rice in a pot or rice cooker, very easy. Also, keeps very well in the fridge if you're making a batch.
