Heart Attack Support Group

Hi Melanye,

I'm so sorry that you seem discouraged, and I understand why you feel that way. It is completely normal to feel like you do under the circumstances. Have you been to your cardi lately? If so what does he/she say? Are you any closer to having surgery on your ankle?

As always you are in my prayers.
Pam

Hello courseygal,
I just joined this site and it is a blessing. I had my heart attack on March 2 of this year. It's been 7 mos and I am learning to handle my new life more every day. I get scared and tired and discouraged. I am so glad that people like us have a place to share these feelings.

Pam,

Both my primary doc and cardio agree that my body was just so weak and stressed when this happened. It's like coming back when you're behind the eight ball. I guess I take baby steps and sometimes it seems that they aren't steps at all. I would like to be able to do so much and am just so limited. I don't have unrealistic expectations, just obviously more than my body can handle.

I'm discouraged off and on. Some days are worse than others. I predominantly keep my mind on the fact that I survived...I survived.

I am so sorry for you pain, and please believe that I know exactly how you feel. You just have to grasp every day with the hope that you will see tomorrow, and if by chance you don't, then make today count.

I had mine on Oct 2 at 6 pm and also went flatlined twice i can hear and feel your feer., I found that i think of the worst thing that could happewn and i verbally challemge the worse cased scenario, like when i first got home from the hospital i would feel dizzy when i got up and would panic only to find nothing ever happened so i would say to my condition ok make me freakin pass out c.,on and it never did i tried taking command over my condition and i fing it helps at times..we all know our fragility has been displayed to us but ya know its been there all along..

your friend Tom
