I hear you! We were planning to go to Maine this summer. Now those plans are on hold while we work through this new wrinkle in our life. It’s annoying to wake up in the morning, full of ambition, only to poop out by lunchtime! But oh well, at least I wake up! Look on the bright side!

@astaingegerdm and @karen1945,

Yes, losing energy halfway through the day is one of the worst problems for me as I don't really have shortness of breath and do not have pain. The diastolic dysfunction (stiff heart) is what creates the problem for me. I've given up most aerobic exercise and instead do chair exercises (many are on YouTube).

I hope we can all get our courage up and get our valves fixed when it is needed and feel more energetic and better!
