Properly supervised exercise classes, swimming and walks are organised by HeartCare to help patients regain their health. Social meetings are held every month with guest speakers and these give you the opportunity to meet people who have had similar experiences to yours. You are advised to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, increase your fibre intake and reduce the amount of fat that you consume. Once again, I must remind you that you should consult a dietician on this matter and not HeartCare.

Over the past 10 years, things have changed beyond recognition. Much more information and explanation is given to both patients and carers by the medical staff. This enables them to understand what has happened and to point the way forward.

I have been privileged to read accounts detailing the most intimate thoughts of HeartCare members who have suffered as you are suffering. These people have poured out their hearts to show you that you are not alone. It is not easy to write about their experiences, as memories come flooding back with every word.
