    Switch to red wine - good for the heart.

        This one is apparently "non-STEMI" which is, I believe, a good thing - not good in itself, but better than one that is STEMI like the last one.

        And given that last time they had me straight in and sorted out within thirty minutes of arriving at the hospital, whereas this time they've left me all day (and now until tomorrow at the earliest), I'm assuming it definitely isn't as bad
        Always a good sign, for my suspected heart attack I realised it wasn't that serious after 8 hours of them only taking observations and when I finally got offered a cup of tea.

        It turned out I only had blood pressure that could inflate a tyre. Lucky escape. If only I were only 12 stone that would be nice.

In my usual observant manner, I didn't find out until Sunday, when I went to the hospital complaining of shortness of breath and they told me what was going on So this lot comes from the ward where I'm waiting for an angiogram, after which they'll hopefully let me get home
            Get well soon, and look after yourself!

              BBC must have been reading CUK yesterday.

              Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
