😍😍Happy Headline 😍😍
Meet Janice Pilling. 📰📰📰
"I have always been fit and healthy, into sport and had no health problems. I played bowls 3/4 times a week and had an active gym membership. Last August after competing for most of the day in a bowls competition, I thought I had a touch of heartburn after a meal. Early next morning when the Rennies weren’t helping I called 111. Within a couple of hours I was in hospital and remained there for 3 weeks. I was told I had‘’unstable angina’’ and I was diagnosed with a very messy angiogram which revealed too much arterial damage for stents, so a heart bypass grafts (5) is what I had. This completely floored me both physically and mentally! Recovery was difficult and painful, it’s brutal surgery!
On advice of the cardiac nurse, I joined Up and Active's 12-week cardiac rehab programme where I was told about their walks. The twice weekly exercise classes really helped me physically to get better, and the walking has continued that. It has also helped me mentally to come to terms with what happened and to move on. I am now back at the gym, walking daily, playing bowls and loving life."
Janice is taking part in our Ribble Valley Jubilee Challenge and completed the first leg-7.7 miles last Friday.
