It’s a year to the day since I was admitted as an emergency to hospital with heart failure and respiratory failure. All caused by a virus! My EF was 20%. Had CRTD fitted in August and not looked back. My EF is now 39% and feel great. Did a 5 mile walk today through Bulmers Cider Orchards, in full bloom. Wonderful. Every day is a blessing. I feel great and optimistic about the future. They gave me 50/50 chance of living a year! And as I said then, I will be in the 50% living group! xx
