Hello all,
I don't know where to start or what to say - here goes....
On March 30, I had a heart attack and had to be hospitalized. I had 99% blockage (blood clot) in one of my arteries and had angioplasty and a stent on April 1. I am still trying to 'digest' just what happened and what this means to my life, my family and especially my husband. It is a lot to take in all of a sudden and I am having a little trouble with my feelings. The doctor says I still have another artery 80% blocked and another one 50% blocked - he did say we may not have to do anything about them, at least, not right now. I'm a little concerned about that, but accept that I need to just focus on getting well for now. I'm going to cardiac rehab 3x a week and on my first 4 workouts I rode the bike 4+ miles and almost 5 miles today (it's a 20 minute ride); I walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes and it is a little harder and also since it is right after the bike ride, I'm not able to make it a mile yet. I'm still very short on breath all the time. I know it will all get better and I need not worry about the numbers. I grateful for what I can do - I'm able to take care of myself, baths, meals and I can drive. Lots to be thankful for and I give God all the glory, honor and praise for his healing power and for the strength he gives so generously. Just keep me in your prayers for now. I appreciate just being here so much.
Love to all,
Linda
Linda,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and your videos about your stuff you made. How beautiful they are. I wanted to tell you how talented you are and then I read that post. I hope you feel better now and your health improves now.
Lots of hugs from the stranger!

So sorry that this has happened to you.
ReplyDeleteI know heart disease all to well.
Both my parents had one at 50, my brother had his at 43.
I was diagnosed with Heart disease at the age of about 38. Luckily I have not had a heart attack, and am keeping myself healthy.
All the best to you and hope you make it to a full recovery. Sounds like you are well on your way :)
