Been perpeared for illness

When in life do u get prepeared for illness been sick from a child and again whwn sick in my 20's . My doctor from a young age showed me how to take pulse or what the signs of a heart attck was or how to swallow a pill, what to do if a faint or get chest pains, or run out of breath, but never did I get emotionally prepeared for living with an illness. 

Half my life was stolen from illness, hospital visits, medical apointments, doctors, test and all the rest then my saving grace come along my new heart my 2en chance which was amazing, 5 and a half years later and here I am back in the same place again. I think that's the hardest part is been given something I dreamed of my whole like " a health heart" then it been ripped away from me .
