Yesterday I was so happy with myself..I walked up a steep bank with my partner and I didn't need my spray or to stop and rest ... I was rejoicing inside..I didn't make a big deal about it cos I don't like to think I'm always talking about me, me me...I was saying to myself yesterday you can go on holiday with the girlies you can get back to being you....I just needed to shout out to all of you I can do this πππ

It's by making sure you make a mental note of each achievement , however small, that you can see the progress you are making which is so important. Give yourself a big pat on that back and look forward to the different things you can build up to doing. Well done π
So, go walk up that hill again and shout when you get to the top...then walk up the next one! Brilliant news and a great, positive post! Enjoy the life.
What a lovely post to read Tootsie - thank you for sharing your happiness with us, it's lovely to hear. It's also a feeling I've experienced myself, and there's nothing quite like it. It makes you feel like doing a little secret happy dance. Carol xox
Oh Tootise. I do totally know how you felt when making it to the top of that bank. Well done you πΎ and yes sometimes we can see our heart conditions are our only focus. But hey we are the ones living with a real fear for our futures. I have lived with ischemic heart disease for seven years now following an urgent triple by pass. You sound like me and been doing all you can to build up a fitness as rehab people encourage. My daughter lives in a rural village surrounded by hills. And one day a year ago while they were away I was animal sitting and took the dog for walk making it up a very steep hill. Like you I felt so pleased with myself as did not need GTN or long recovery a top. Later that day my daughter phoned I told her I taken dog for walk and mention direction weβd walked. I heard her call my son in law and say βMum has walked to the top of heart attack hillβ there were gasps of amazement in background and concern in my daughters voice when she congratulated me. That was so good as pre op I couldnβt walk 10 yards. But like you I revel in my achievements quietly now. As my daughter has just survived 13 tough chemo treatments for breast cancer. She deserves the praise now. You just carry on doing what you can to help your heart and loud or softly feel good about your achievements ππ
Well done you too...my sister is just going through what your daughter is going through right now so I totally get where your coming from... thank you for your lovely post.... hope you and your daughter stay safe β€οΈβ€οΈ
Absolutely right to share it. We're all climbing our own hills and right with you. πββοΈπ
