Staying healthy physically (and mentally) post heart attack

Good evening @thankful
Your statement of "damaged goods" really made me stop and think. I just had my 8-year anniversary of receiving my stent at 46. To be very truthful, there are some days that I feel "depressed" with the things I have gone through, but then I stop myself from thinking this way and look at the positive. I have had eight more blessed years with my boys and my family and my friends. I don't think anybody after having an event such as you have had, myself, or anyone else has had that we ever will not have these feelings. I believe they are meant to come into our thoughts occasionally so we actually remember how blessed we are. So from one "damaged goods" to another.....stay strong!! Work through those feelings but don't stay there too long.....Take that deep breath and say "I am alive."

@HeartPatches,
Thanks so much for your encouraging words this afternoon!
I will celebrating 2 years from my HA on the 12th of this month and will toast you as well.
I truly do feel blessed to be here and just this past weekend my youngest daughter & son-in-law shared there good news of being 12 weeks pregnant. Our oldest daughter has 3 boys and this though caught us off guard because of the path they were on we did not think this would happen for at least a year or more. It really was a special early Mothers Day for my wife.
I do feel that the good Lord spared me for a reason and I am on a new journey to hopefully discover what that is for me.
My cardiologist told me the next day after my HA that there were not many that could survive a “Window Maker” as I did with 100% blockage so as I said, I am truly blessed.
Thankful for so much!
