Not stuff hearts but stiff hearts. The government has enough stuffy hearts.

I want to go as well but not possible. Am making attempts on my own with exercise and diet. Unfortunately another chronic ailment, CRPS, is really limiting walking but I will do what I am able. How long was the rehab?

Weak hearts are eligible for cardiac rehab, stiff hearts are not. My cardiologist says there are many in my area with stiff hearts but the government at this point doesn't recognize stiff hearts. We need to get together and flood the government with requests that stuff hearts be included!
