Hi

with Christmas approaching I thought I’d post a message of hope. I was diagnosed with heart failure over 6 years ago now. EF in low 30s. I was devastated and very scared. I was only 55 at the time. 6 years on and I’m doing fine. I live a pretty normal life. My heart failure isn’t ‘cured’ but it is well managed and barely impacts my life now. My EF is in the very low 50s and has been stable for several years. I have made changes, retirement being the biggest. I enjoy hiking, yoga, 😘😘travelling in my camper van around Europe and I recently learned to crochet. Next year is our 30th wedding anniversary and we have a mega trip to Canada planned.

I know the fear the diagnosis brings, I want to give hope to those of you newly diagnosed. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and face the New Year with hope.
