I used to struggle just getting up a single staircase. Chronic pericarditis and the exhaustion that came with it made everything feel heavy.
This weekend, I climbed the Helgeland Stairs ā 4,000+ steps one way.
Iām grateful for the treatment thatās helping me live again. And Iām grateful for the tools I learned on the way: pacing, rest, boundaries, and listening to my body.
Healing isnāt linear, but today I stood on top of a mountain I once couldnāt imagine reaching.
