Phase 4 Rehab started.

Had my 1st Phase 4 rehab appointment yesterday having been discharged from Phase 3 a few weeks ago. After chatting with my Cardiologist, the nurses and physios at the hospital and a few people I known who have been through similar I opted to drive to the purpose built rehab centre in Alton rather than use the local sports centres. Took my weight, 11kg lower than when I came out of hospital 🥳, BP, heart rate, height and waist measurements and then had a treadmill test.

All very pleasant, albeit a bit tiring on the treadmill, and I even bumped into some of the physios and nurses who'd done my hospital rehab. I now have my induction session on Saturday when I should find what programme I'll be booked in on.

Rounded the day off with a very pleasant 6.5km stroll in the afternoon with a chap who was in hospital at the same time as me. Amazing how the time and kms slip by with two blokes talking a load of old tosh 😅.

Take care all, today I will be mostly looking to repair a snow damaged fruit cage in our allotment.

Well done you! Hoping you will continue with your positive attitude to your recovery. Nice to see medics again that have helped you on your journey. Enjoy the sunshine in your allotment, being outside is the best medicine!

Thanks 😀. It's not always easy to stay positive ahout the future but I'm trying to focus on what the Cardiologist and Rehab nurses keep telling me.
