You could put some Cyanobacteria in your blood, but you do
need light for them to take care of the CO2.

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic. Wouldn't chemosynthetic bacteria
be better for this application?

No, because the chemical energy they need has to come from
somewhere, and the chemicals that can be used by chemosynthetic
bacteria are generally immediatly toxic to humans. If you want them
to use sugars from your blood, well, the inefficiencies of
thermodynamics mean that they will end up creating more CO2 than
they use.

There are some bacteria that use CO2 and give out oxygen
