Current meanings of health scores on graphs

13-45 hrs: I thought I should list the ones that turn up in graphs again -note that I know this is subjective. However - I find it remarkably helpful.
------------------------------------------------------
11 - very well - I live a more-or-less normal life - if at a slower pace. Less breathlessness
10.5 - very well - feeling nearly normal - if at a slower pace. Not noticeably fatigued. Rehabilitation. Breathlessness continues
10 - very well - nearly normal life - if at a slower pace. Less breathlessness and fatigue.
9.5 - well - Improvements in breathlessness and heart rate. No indigestion etc. Can get tired if do very big things. Feel OK.
9 - well - Improvements in breathlessness and heart rate. No indigestion etc. Can get tired. Feel OK
8.5 - well - breathlessness notable. Can travel OK. Can handle hassles - less fatigue. Indigestion little.
8 - quite well - some breathlessness - can avoid sleep in afternoon. Some fatigue and struggle to do things. Can travel. Indigestion - mild.
7.5 - quite well - fatigue + breathless - can avoid sleep in afternoon. Can travel. Indigestion - mild.
7 - quite well - fatigue + breathless - can avoid sleep in afternoon; may feel gloom. Can travel with care. Indigestion - but less bad.
6 - aware of being less well - fatigue + breathless - I have to sleep in afternoon. Need to manage energy levels. Indigestion.
