Life Altering Experience

I was discharged from hospital last night. I now have a heart condition!!
Boy have I got some serious thinking to do now. I am not going to go on about a new diet and exercise regime, but I do have to get to grips with a new way of thinking and new mediation.

I can say though that I am so grateful to live in England and that we have the NHS.  It may not be perfect, but by God it does it's best. I was in hospital for a week, the nursing care was second to none. There are angels without wings walking amongst us.

A week in hospital,several  EGC's, numerous blood tests, xrays, medications, three meals a day, wonderful nurses, caring (handsome) doctors. NO BILL.

I've been trying to post a comment.. hope this one works...

Hang in there. You can do this. Now you know you have an issue and how to treat it and medical care to monitor it. If this means changes , and it will, then so be it. Focus on healthy living, weight loss will come. As a nurse in the US, I'm interested to hear about the aftercare and post hospital care the NHS gives you to promote your healthy living. Good luck.. Keep us posted.

Hello Sheilagh!
I was thinking of you today and decided to drop in to comment and to see how you're doing.
Gosh, I hope all is well with you and that you are finding your way to complete wellness!

Our healthcare system in Canada is not without its faults, but it sure beats the crappy system they have in the US where an illness can ruin you.

Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
