'Since the heart attack, I see this group as family. They give me pep talks before procedures, they make me laugh, and they listen to me cry and complain as I come to terms with being breakable,' writes Eryn Mathewson
The last 12 months have been weird for me. I'm a pretty healthy 39-year-old marathon runner. And yet I had a heart attack, was subsequently diagnosed with a rare disease, and broke my right clavicle -- all within months of each other, all unexpected and unwelcome.
This past year was supposed to be a"bounce back" year, wasn't it? I hoped everything would run a little smoother and that we'd all know how to live a little healthier than we did in 2020, when a tiny virus spread and changed our lives forever. But as the new year dawns, many of us are still just trying to heal -- from the pandemic, disheartening political and racial divides and new health issues.
