Motivation: Stories and Changes

Dear,

I am 58 years young and had a PM/ICD fitted in August to deal with HCM. Until that point, I thought that I was immortal :-), like many of us do I guess until something dramatic happens.

Since then, I've been weighing up what I do with the rest of my life. My own prognosis is good, I enjoy my work (back full time now) and have a loving/suppotive family etc. However, following a bit of a wake-up call, I have this feeling of 'treading water' until I decide what to do with the rest of my life.

So, I was wondering what fellow 'inmates' of this forum have done, or are considering doing? Have people shrugged their shoulders and just go on with life? Or, have you made some changes - big or small?

I'd love to hear your stories

Regards,

C23
