So my first week at home has been great. Walks around the neighbourhood, light lunches at the local restaurant, and plenty of resting and napping all supported by my daughter and lovely wife.

Pleased to report that after running at an erratic 130 to 135 bpm for the whole of yesterday. I woke up to a lovely regular 72 BPM this morning. A world of difference.

Being home with my wife and... Read more.

I don't have any guidance because I'm with you 'new' to the recovery club. But man I'm glad your doing so well!

Very happy you're home and that you are doing much better, Tobias. I'm sure others will give you guidance, just don't overdo it for now. Guys are prone to do that! Keep us posted!

I highly recommend cardiac rehab. They will be able to keep you challenged and progressing within your abilities. I loved meeting the other participants, too!

Glad all is going well for you. I'd discuss with your doctors and try not to overdo it just yet.
