NORTH HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Aleta Staton is working on strengthening, balance, and endurance.

“When I’m pushing weight it’s making me use those legs,” said the 64-year-old, as she works hard at a Gaylord Specialty Healthcare physical therapy facility in North Haven.

She’s fighting back after a scary stretch. Staton has lived three decades with congestive heart failure, an underlying health condition.

“I contracted COVID about 3 weeks before it had a name,” she explained. “My heart started doing strange things. It would beat fast, it would beat slow, it was so erratic.”
