Rehabilitation

Hi I’m on my second week of rehab and it’s great! I was told 2 weeks ago I had unstable angina, so that was the reason I got a stent fitted as I had a nstemi. I am pleased to say my nurse told me today I no longer have unstable angina as I’m on medicine. I also got echocardiogram results and it showed minimal damage. Also my cholesterol has dropped from 6.8 to 4.5 with the statins. I’m keeping a positive approach to my condition and that is helping tremendously ❤️

Good to hear it is going well. When I went in for my bypass I was told most people got depressed after. I did not as I came round free of the angina and breathlessness that had blighted my life for well over a year! :)

Well done, it's hard to keep a PMA. Keep going strong.

Sounds brilliant. Good to have a report that unstable angina was fixed so straightforwardly, doesn’t often happen!
