Given my recent kidney incident, my heart checkups got moved forward by a couple of months to make sure there wasn't any sinister heart business behind it all. Yesterday I went for an echo of my heart and today I saw my consultant to discuss the results and, for the first time since all the heart failure kicked off, I had bona fide GOOD NEWS - there has been a significant improvement in my heart function. Whoop! I mean, it's still essentially buggered and all, but not as buggered as it has been and I am delighted! Beyond delighted! Of course, my medication and "magic machine" may be helping in the background (they probably are) but I think we can safely put this recent improvement squarely down to...me! It's my swimming and my exercise biking and my weight loss (1.5 stone and counting) and my general hard heart graft. Go me! Yes, go me! Whoop! I've been walking around with a cheesy grin on my face all day. Well, apart from when I felt crap and had to have a lie down, but generally...whoop! I'm super excited to think that I might be able to keep improving things, up to a point at least, and it's just amazing to feel some sort of control over the situation at long last. And lately (since my kidneys started working again) I've been weirdly enjoying exercise and wanting to do it and I'm loving my new muscles and the feeling of being strong and on top of things. 2015 is going to be the year when things started getting better, people. Whoop!
