I admire your courage to face all these difficult issues with some sense of humor and resignation. Once you get a diagnosis for anything, no matter how minor, it never seems to be resolved in your records! So, I am a "fixer" and used to taking action to resolve things, but with A-fib you never are "cured" and you are in a similar situation, I guess. So we have to find our "happy" place and do what we can, when we can! I have a group of nurse friends I worked with and after comparing notes and diagnosis and various treatments we all decided that what we had could be worse! So make the most of every day, and enjoy the little pleasures, no matter how humble. Be as social as you can be and gain strength from the good will of others! Take care.

@sjm46 yes! Thank you. I am as social as I can be. I don’t drive, however there are 18 volunteers who are available to drive me to appointments. I have become friends with most of them. So, I am a social butterfly.

I live alone. I don’t mind because it frees me up to pursue my hobbies. I have taken up painting, and work on jigsaw puzzles. It helps distract me from pain.

Thanks for your reply. Have a blessed day!
