It's one year on today since I had my heart attack while on holiday in Spain. Happy to say I am all mended now and don't require any more treatment other than medications for now, Thanks to cardiac teams in Spain, Halifax and Huddersfield and not forgetting a great family and friends. This site as helped me so much, thank you all for being here. Keep well and stay safe.

Hi

Yes very well

Apart from the Lockdown

My BHF are doing the circuit training 3 times a week on Zoom so am doing that and walking on other days .

Not as much as I had hoped but that's due to another illness

It will be nice to get back to normal

Whatever that may be

Hi I had my gall bladder removed in March and I thought that might put me back again, but it was fine and I am going from strength to strength. Hope you are well by the time this lock down is over and you can get out again. Sending love to you.

Hi Adaboo, I have a friend who had a life threatening illness, every time I rang to see how he was he would say I am still above ground, after my heart attack I knew just what he meant so I borrowed his saying for this site.
