That is so sweet Marshall :)

That might be the sweetest thing I ever read on this site!!! What a lovely gesture. You certainly made an impression on this little girl for her to take such initiative to communicate with you. I have a feeling you're pretty special, too, Marshall!

So happy that you have such a great neighbor. I am finding support from so many people including friends and family. Even random strangers like the hotel desk clerk offer their best wishes.

Drink a full glass of water when you take them. I take metoprolol - 12.5/day...staying very hydrated really helps, they take a while to get used to. I used Gatorade- that really helped too.
Marshall when I was taking them I took them before bed, it helped

I was just on my recumbent stepper for 30 minutes....raining out, again. Take care of yourself!
Awesome! Keep up the positive outlook and stay strong!
Just have to be patient, and keep putting one foot in front of the other...
If you are out walking several times per day just after being discharged, then you are doing really well. I couldn't do that!
Good job Marshall, you are doing great.
