Recovery doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. The real work begins when you have to rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence in daily life.

At Smart Patients, we remind each other that recovery is physical, emotional, and deeply personal.

Thank you to one of our Smart Patients members for reminding us that it’s World FTD Awareness Week.

This is why awareness matters: when families and patients speak up, they drive visibility, accelerate research toward better diagnoses, treatments, and—someday—a cure.

Truth: We don’t think about our lungs until they stop working the way they should.

Query: If every breath is precious, why do we wait until it’s hard to breathe to pay attention?
