6 week check up

Just had my 6 week check up and given a clean bill of health - discharged from the clinic. I know I still need to build my strength and stamina but a significant step forward.

Very grateful thanks to all at Bristol Heart Institute who made this possible - a fantastic team.

Good news Steve, have you heard anything about cardio rehab classes yet?

Yes, but it seems that they are oversubscribed and so not going to start until Nov/Dec.

unfortunately seems to be the case in a lot of places.You could make a start with some easy walking, always remembering to rest and stop if in any discomfort and gradually build up your distance/reduce the time taken

Thanks Stevegg, it is a great comfort to me to hear you are doing so well. I'm still waiting for a date for my AVR, but it is the recovery period which terrifies me the most. Thanks and good luck for the future.
