I am OK now and recovering.

The NHS staff were excellent, and I had a stent fitted as the artery was blocked. I am getting my fitness back.

I was also diagnosed as having Covid at the same time. I thought I had a flu as I could not shake it off and it was far worse than a cold.

I am now suddenly on 6 tablets a day when I did not take any. I will probably be on pills for the rest of my life. These are Aspirin and Statins. I had a small cut shaving and it would not stop bleeding for hours because the tablets thin the blood.
Had no idea bud hate hearing that for you and family. Glad you've wrangled it and have kept clear vision all along with exercise and dietary changes to watch those kids of yours grow old themselves. It can sneak up on you with accumulating factors we've all been guilty of taking for granted, bit of out of sight out of mind until. It's been in the back of my mind last couple of years after being sick and slipping back into some bad habits diet wise and stress around career and how time/ wear and tear catches up. Aging is a humbling shitshow of a process . As mentioned mentality is massive, core of focus and basically doing best to rise about the BS and laugh. Find a spot as I've always said. Humor is literally good and needed medicine. Eyes on the prize bud and take care of you and yours bud!
