Big step, at home.....

[Armyguy]

Made a big step, at the house right now, feels odd being home, I wonder about people who have heart conditions but live super far away from hospitals, like out in the Yukon, or Alaska, or countries where hospitals are not close or an ambulance service is out of the question, and they have no choice but to live there. Not gonna lie, nervous that something will happen but I'm trying to not think about that.

Anyone live super far from hospitals?

Armyguy, 7 minutes away on a good day, 10 minutes if traffic is bad.

That use to be a #1 priority but I no longer think twice about where the

hospitals are located or distance. When you start feeling better, you will

no longer focus on negativity.

Congratulations on taking a big step and being at the house. You are not

in the Yukon or Alaska. Help is only a phone call away. Nothing is going to happen,

say it until you believe it. Plus we will be here to support you. Take it easy. xx

No but I had to travel for work and worked in an Indian reservation. Many people in this particular area had to travel really far for wound care at our facility and that wouldn’t even take us that long to care for them. Most of them didn’t have running water either. It’s sad it felt like I was in another country but I was in the United States. It makes you realize how much people struggle living in these rural areas. Telehealth helps but how do you even prepare for emergencies?

Hi Armyguy, You may already be in bed but I wanted to check on you

make sure you are doing okay at home. I'm hoping you somewhat enjoyed

your Friday evening. I would think it's going to be nice to sleep in your own

bed tonight and not in the car on a cold wintery night.

Going to sign off for the night.

Wishing you a good night's sleep. Talk tomorrow
