Evenings and weekends
โI was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. Someone told me to do one smlal thing a day. Some days it's just a shower. Keep going, even slowly.โ

โTo anyone just starting with heart stuff: it's scary and your brain will tell you every twinge is the end. It's not. Go to the rehab class even if you feel silly. Check your pulse less.

โReading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was not that long ago, about a year. Back then it was heart failure and the fluid tablets. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. It doesn't stay this heavy. xโ
