Kind of terrifying? That would ruin my ability to fall asleep. Godspeed baw. Hope you are taking care of yourself

The first year after diagnosis was rough, especially the first few months. I was an absolute train wreck behind closed doors but since then, with the help of miracle drug Entresto, I’ve gained back enough heart strength to be considered “normal”. The diagnosis remains and I’m still on the medication, though. My cardiologist wants to see if I plateau or continue to improve. I’m not out of the woods but I’m in a drastically better position now than in October 2020. I won the lottery by finding out about it when I did. Many, like Wally Pontiff, have not been so lucky.
