Amy,

I never heard from your friend that you contacted me about. If she still wants, she can call or write. If not, that is fine. I hope you are doing great, and enjoying life.

Thanks,

Theresa C.

Hi Amy,

Just using the shock of Duane's news to take a moment out to reconnect with the friends I made more than a year ago on the website. Just to remind you that you were my inspiration and that I was so determined to look as glamourous as you in my photos on HVJ! I only managed a couple of games of golf last summer before the early snows hit so I am looking foward to next month when we are off to Spain for a week of R&R and sunshine! I really appreciated your note on my anniversary but would love to hear more news from you! If you have a moment please let me know how you are and what you're up to!

Love and hugs

Dear Amy,

I was so happy to hear from you, and understand why you have not been on here. I was glad to hear from you especially because your last update said you did not get a complete medical clearance and were trying medications,,,well it sounds as if the medication and your dedication to exercise has you on a positive track. I too have had an easy recovery compared to a lot of patients on this site. Lori B. hit us all so hard and I too will never forget her or her family.

I am doing great...am exercising on my own..treadmill, weights, bicycle etc. I AM NOT as disciplined as you are, but I am trying to improve this. I received a good report on my follow-up echo, and my medication is being reduced. I would love eventually to be off all heart medications. I wish you and your family an extra-special celebration during the holiday season. If you have time in the future, drop a line. Your positive outlook and dedication to exercise are an inspiration!

Wishing all the best for you,

Theresa

Amy,

I was just checking in to say a quick hello. I was wondering how you are doing? I have finished cardio rehab and am now exercising on my own. Are you still pushing yourself...you have such a great exercise routine....how is the golf? Well if you have a moment to update, I would love hearing from you.

Take Care,

Theresa C.
