Sorry to read of your plight. Has it been confirmed that your heart has been damaged? It seems as though you have done so much right, especially having such a lengthy fast less than a year ago. I wish you a much improved heart as you approach week one. My fast started the beginning of lent and I may fast to my body says otherwise. Time will tell. May the day prove comfortable and restful for you.
Hi Eggcream,
Thank you for your thoughful reply. A lengthy fast, and over the past 12 months immensely nutritious eating and specific training for my heart ;). Confirmed damage... I plan to get a complete physical exam including my heart but only after the fast is completed. If i went to a dr. now and they wanted to give me drugs or surgery, i would refuse anyway, so i will let my fasting body heal itself as much as possible with a fast to completion and with Chris' recommendations before even getting checked out. I am long overdue for a complete checkup anyway. do i know my heart has been damaged based on what i feel and what my capabilities have been reduced to? Yes indeed.
