I give up. If there's a moderator with the power to do so, just delete this entire thread - it's beyond useless. Some people just have to have their say regardless of how off topic or ignorant they are on the actual subject.

I'm sorry, DnvrFox, I did try to PM you separately but I'm not allowed to PM apparently til I've posted 50 comments and I'm unwilling to continue to participate in this thread to that point. I know you're being sympathetic.

HawkOwl, I don't know why you feel necessary to intrude into this situation and to be so judgmental. I was looking for information from people who actually HAVE CHF and have gone through a recovery process, not your unfounded suppositions. The point is you are not being helpful. Twice I've SPECIFICALLY requested that people stick to what I asked for help with - the process of coming to grips with your CHF and the impact it has had on your activity levels. You consistently disregard that request and continue to post blameful doubting commentary.

I'm sorry to have troubled the forum. Again, if there's a moderator with the power to do so, please delete this thread or at least lock it. I'll not bother the community again.
