I am enjoying walking for the first time since I can’t remember when. My heart rate remains within a normal range and I’m not struggling for oxygen.
My heart is filled with gratitude for this website and this community. I became somewhat obsessed over the past year learning about my heart disease, finding my surgeon and getting mentally prepared. The confidence I had in my surgeon and the Cleveland Clinic allowed me to move forward with little concern. Then again, I’m glad I don’t remember a lot of it. I think I was prepared for the worst, which made my reality pretty easy . I’m enthusiastically looking forward to my next 20 years.
