Bad News From A Friend
I got some bad news from a friend of ours who moved to Pennsylvania several years ago. He suffered a heart attack last year and has been struggling ever since. Recently, he has told me that each day he feels weak and run down. I urged him to see his doctor, and he finally relented today.
I just got a text from him and he said that the doctor determined that his heart is only pumping at 30% capacity. It is no wonder that he has felt so tired! He said that he will now get daily visits at his home from a registered nurse who will monitor him. He will also wear a life vest that alerts him and EMS about any irregularities with his heartbeat.
I am so sorry to hear about this, but I know that we all get older and start to fall apart at varying speeds. I have my own health issues, but his are much worse and I feel terrible and wish I could help him. All I can do is be here for him to talk to when he needs to get things off his chest (no pun intended) because I don’t know what his exact situation is there in Pennsylvania.
I will have more to say about my own condition in the near future, once things start to clear up and come into focus.
Sorry to hear about your friend…..take care of yourself and be safe chuq
