"I cannot understate the confidence I got from attending"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Cardiology

(as the patient),

I have had my 2nd session at the Cardiac Rehabilitation Classes and I just want to take this opportunity to say a sincere thanks to the staff in the rehabilitation team. They were kind, knowledgeable, understanding and attentive to myself and everyone else who was there being put through their paces. 

I cannot understate the confidence I (and others) got from attending the classes. Before attending I thought I was a 'write off 'and couldn't do any exercise or even lift up my grandchildren again. But after my first session I realised that I was able to do far more than I thought I could and as a result feel so much better about my future. 

I have heard people who haven't been to these classes say that they are not worth it. This isn't true in my experience. Was well worth it and consequently I would thoroughly recommend using the option to attend classes if you were offered them. It could do you the world of good. 

Thanks again to Faye and the rest of the team for the excellent work that they do.
