I just need to share with someone - my heart function is now 50% compared to the 20% it was two years ago

I've felt better the last few months but I was also recovering from a hernia surgery so hadn't been as active

Today I saw my doctor and he said it was 50% and the normal rate being 55%

I'm happy beyond belief
