It sounds like you are in a better place and have a plan as well as support.

There’s no place like home 🏡

An easy way to help gain endurance is to put a set of pedals on a counter or bar and use it with your hands.

I have a clot on my aortic valve. Unlike when they originally replaced the valve, they cannot do a TAVR (non-invasive replacement) because that might break up the clot and cause a stroke or embolism.

They are trying to dissolve the clot with medications but if that doesn't work I'm looking at open heart surgery in a few months.

I still need to move around to keep fluid from accumulating in my lungs again but have to be very closely monitored. It's hard to move much when my heart is working at 40%!

How frustrating it must be to not go at full speed. I hope the meds work so you don’t have to have surgery.

Glad you're improving.

Effectively, it was congestive heart failure (caused by a blood clot on my aortic valve) so I still have a long road ahead before I am done with this.

I hope you are up and going soon.

Sending you a bouquet of healing hugs!🤗🤗

...hospital stays this past year have been mostly decent stays, I KNOW how good it is to be home again. Good luck and be well
