You sound so sad. I’m sorry. I’m an introvert, too, and quiet, just like you. Have you ever thought about finding a walking group thru the recreation center or the senior center? When I first moved here, I found a walking group and it was great! Also, use yourself to help others. Be a once a week visitor at a nursing home. Or maybe volunteer to be a dog walker at the humane society. Good luck and take care of yourself. Becky

Thanks for that. I did better yesterday. I got six windows washed, vacuumed, and got some weeds pulled, and felt like I had a successful day. I also had more energy than usual. For the first six weeks after my big afib attack and diagnosis I just felt sick. I also thought then that having afib meant I wouldn't live very much longer. Maybe five or so years. But I've gradually been feeling better and have learned people can live fifteen more years with medication and a careful lifestyle. So, it's easier to actually live now. I don't feel miserable every day and have the energy to get things done. I do miss my girls and my grandchildren though, a lot, but will work on visiting them more and also look into volunteer work when I get back from my big trip this summer.
