Cardiac rehab was my first step to recovery after leaving the hospital. It was very beneficial. This article includes a description of what I went through during my cardiac rehab sessions.

I have a YouTube channel called “Manage Your Damage” where I talk about my recovery and living with a damaged heart and brain. Please subscribe on YouTube and like my videos so more people will see them.

I have had a difficult time writing lately because of brain injury symptoms, so I have done videos about what I’ve gone through. I transcribe the videos afterwards. It isn’t the best writing, but it’s what I can do right now.

Transcription

Hello, my name is Jon Johnston. I am a heart attack survivor and brain injury survivor.

In this video, I’d like to talk to you about cardiac rehab. This is the first part of a two-part video. This video describes to what I went through in cardio rehab. The second video is what I got out of it; more of my personal experience.
