Having an especially lovely Day
I've been feeling heaps better recently due to the love of a good man and regular CBD oil. I managed to walk to the post box today to post off our local election voting papers.

From the Beginning
I have had heart failure since the late 80's
My first major crisis was in 2016. After nearly 30 years with heart failure I woke in ICU following a cardiac arrest and a coma. I had been ill with what appeared to be repeated cold like viruses and was diagnosed on arrival in hospital with multiple organ failure. No-one has been able to answer questions I have had about why I became ill so quickly and no treatment has been started.
I waiting for an appointment for a cardiologist to arrive but I won't be holding my breath as it will be 3 years since my diagnosis next month

Eighteen Stone and Rising
I was 16st when I quit smoking last year on the 18th December and I weighed myself this morning and I had gained 2 stone ...EEEEK!
I have swapped tobacco for a Medipen that looks like this and am feeling a lot better for sleeping through the night. Thankfully, Billy has been buying my CBD oil cartridges otherwise I would have to get a third job to pay for them

Echo Scan March 4th (Monday) 2019
Posting to say that I still haven't got to see a cardiologist since my cardiac arrest in March 2016 and a diagnosis of heart failure the same month which I have been complaining about since the mid 90's.
On March the 4th I will see a GP following the scan so still no sign of seeing a cardiologist.

Palliative Care - Latest Research
We Need To Talk about Death
See the Horizon video HERE
Interesting take on palliative care. Around the 42 minutes mark there is a piece challenging the view that in choosing palliative care we will make a trade off and limit the time we have left.
Newest research has shown that this doesn't have to be the case, When palliative care is put together in a holistic, compassionate fashion then it can have the effect of improving the prognosis for those with progressive conditions.
