I'm cautiously optimistic. The further away in time I move from my complications after coming home (pericardial effusion and aFib), the more comfortable I'm becoming with the idea that the woods are behind me - or that I'm at least on the edge of them.
What's missing now is confidence. I feel as though I'm still learning how this newly rebuilt engine works. I take it out for walks every day, trying different speeds, watching my Apple Watch as I go. The distances I'm traveling are vastly improved from coming home, but pushing for a faster pace often greets me with resistance, either from the medications or the recovery; not sure which. I'm chomping at the bit to get into cardiac rehab so I can learn more and move with some coaching and a degree of safety.
That's all for now. Still here. So are you. Still all that matters.
