A much more productive day, thanks to my other half.
We managed to get our finances sorted out so Christmas is back on.(Huge smile)
The doctor has given me another week off, then all being well, I can get back to work.

Oh I nearly forgot. I'm doing the Santa Run on Saturday so be prepared for some silly photos of Yours Truly in a Santa suit

Leaf Kicking

At least I survived the day. Had a few possibilities discussed at work. Still need to get up to speed on the finances. let's see what the weekend offers.

A good start to the day (NOT). Wages are a mess, and sick pay will amount to £320 for next month. I didn't ask to be sick and now the whole family is going to have a rubbish Christmas.

Great choice here, as if I had one. I do a heavy job so going back early isn't an option.

Life has a way of kicking you in the groin when you're down.

I'm usually a fighter but this has really knocked me back...

Well, the weekend went well. I discovered that because I was bored being stuck inside I was starting to comfort eat. If I continue with this things will only get worse.

I managed to get out both days over the weekend, completing my mile in just over 20 minutes on both occasions.

Afterwards We walked into town for the Christmas Fayre. I was amazed at the distance you can build up just pottering around.

Didn't do much walking or anything else yesterday I was too busy feeling sorry for myself. I suppose the weather didn't help much either.
Back on it today. Got a mile done and managed to avoid  "That horrible man on TV".
Might venture out a bit further tomorrow.

First few days

I have decided to keep a blog after having my second heart attack within the space of a year. The first one was pretty much textbook. Pain in the chest, tingly arms, in fact ALL of the classic signs.
This one was a bit more subtle. No pain, just a brief dizzy spell then a collapse.I was even able to drive home completely unaware of what had just happened. I phoned the NHS helpline for a bit of advice and next thing I knew was that there was an ambulance on its way.

I was gobsmacked to say the least to find out I'd had a heart attack. After all, I'd done everything right I'd lost six stone in weight, changed my eating regime (I don't like diets) and become more active.

My heart attack was bound to happen, BUT... had I not increased my fitness the odds of my survival would have been much less.

It was discovered by raised Troponin levels in the blood so I was kept in for further tests.
