First day of Rehabรขโ‚ฌยฆ.I loved itรฐลธโ€™ยชรขโ‚ฌยผรฏยธย
Awesome..recovery seems slow..but it is amazing the progress..I remember being the last person out of the rehab sessions. I also remember some people doing absolutely nothing....or as little as possible
You just brought back some great memories. I have to admit, cardiac rehab was a pivotal point in my recovery. I went from feeling emotionally and physically exhausted to completely empowered. So glad to hear you're loving it as well! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Thanks Grace! Too funny Stephen about some people doing nothing! My copays are too pricey, I need to make sure each session counts!
