Out, but will be back
It seems that my heart arteries are blocked in an awkward place ….. too tricky to `stent`.

All ready for the operating theatre tomorrow.
Just to think that they do this every day.
(glad I don’t~!)

the reading points to me having had multiple heart failures in the recent past
and there was no point pushing on up the road.
It was time to get the puncture repair kit out.
Left ventricle...
Off to hospital
I took myself to the doc yesterday. He did his doc type tests
and said….kinda casual, “best see a specialist”.
I think he took it seriously, because by the evening I had my blood-test
(good `bad cholesterol` LDL reading of 1.22g/l (122mg/dl)
and a rendezvous at the hospital for today.
So today, I have been for a bicycle ride in a hospital
and they said….kinda casual,...
