Mended Hearts

Part of the healing process and this journey is finding hope and hope is so important to have as we continue to mend our hearts and move forward in a positive direction, and mended Hearts comes from that place of experience. There is something so powerful to be able to connect with someone who has been on the same Journey as you and learn from that experience gained support from that experience. In skiing inside. My name is Edson - and I'm a volunteer with mended hearts in order to be a volunteer for mended Hearts. You have to have amended heart and my heart's been mended a few times. In my case. I've got 20 stents and two double bypass has. So I know how you're feeling. I know what you're worried about. I know what your concerns are. I'll give you a few instances and and some keys to help you in your recovery. First of all walking is very important. Secondly. Rest is important. Don't be afraid to take a nap consistency of your meals is also an important factor because many of your medications are given with the attitude that you're going to eat at a certain period of time, and you go in and have a certain medication at that time. Also, another helpful thing is to have a little spiral notebook, take that notebook and write down. What time you took your last dosage and what time you take your next dosage, you'll find that it will be very helpful cardio rehab. Probably the most important part of your rehab rehabilitation and getting yourself back and back into the normal way. I guarantee you that you will feel better. When you finish the weeks of cardio rehab with that. I say good recovery to you. If you need anything, I've got cards out that you can call me. I have no problem talking to you whatsoever. I'll do my best to help you or guide you in the proper direction. I think the mended Hearts program is really important not only to our patients but their families and caregivers. Well, there are a nonprofit organization, both nationally and community-based. And they're here for our patients, and share our vision, and our goal for your care. Under normal circumstances before we've experienced this, pandemic in our nation. Our volunteers would come up to the bedside and be able to talk with you. And your loved ones. We are practicing social distancing, among some other practices to keep us all safe from this pandemic. As a result. If you would like to contact, mended hearts and speak to someone, we I want to make sure that you have that resource available to you.
