See below: The answer for your question can be incredibly complex as your combined illnesses were very serious and complex. There is no way to predict how long your recovery may take as this depends on age, prior health status, coexisting med conditions and ability to heal. My rec is to have frequent follow ups with you physician according to their recs as they know your history. Best wishes recovering!

It can be awhile: You should discuss your specific situation with your doctors. In general people can have abnormalities of muscle strength, stress related problems, abnormalities in breathing tests for prolonged periods of time after critical illness, even many months, depending on the specific problems they faced in the icu. This should really be discussed with your physicians.
