update

hello
I thought I'd post an updated for my 3rd year anniversary since I got my pm. At the time I was so overcome with panic and anxiety I was afraid I'd die(my medical situation was mild really, bradycardia).
Since then I have been able to run 2 half marathons, walk 4 more, run one full and paddles a canoe across Missouri in 3 days.
I'm figuring out my pm is a gift, not a curse.
this website was a gift from heaven. thanks to all who post and encourage.
Rusty

We all feel scared at the beginning, until we realise that theres nothing to be scared about.

Keep well!

I needed that!

Thanks Rusty
I needed that! I am just two weeks into my new journey. I too just have Bradycardia. I have been having a hard time emotionally so your post helped a lot. Hope I am feeling that positive soon.
