Recuperation from heart attack and stent [View all]

Hi all, I've been checking in on DU daily but not spending a great deal of time here while I recuperate. My cardiology follow up appointment went well with them saying if I continue as i am, I should be back to no restrictions in another 3 months after I finish rehab.

It's been tough being a patient patient, but I'm trying my best to follow instructions about dietary, exercise, stress, etc changes. My spouse and cats are happy to have me around more, though it's been a huge change going from caregiver to care taker.

All that said, thank you for continuing the good fight, best wishes and take care.

And fuck ICE and minions.
