From people who came through it

  • โ€œReading 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€

  • โ€œTo 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. I know, easier said than done. And let people help you. I'm still learning that one. You'll have good days again, I promise. They just come slower than you'd like.โ€

  • โ€œA note for the next person. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The worst part was checking my pulse all the time. Last month I had people round for dinner. Praying for you.โ€

  • โ€œI 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€
