Simon, Allan and Brian thank you very much for your experiences, not as though any-one of us would like to repeat I hasten to add!!
I have to admit that I am probably trying a bit too hard as have been out in the garden doing some weeding and gentle hoeing of the soil. Spent about an hour outside as it is such a lovely day, during that time I observed one butterfly and a bee doing their rounds on some of the flowers that had bloomed. I thought it was too early in the year for butterflies but it was definitely a butterfly.
I had wondered about physio Allan as when I first had a heart attack 10 years ago I went to the hospital for it though have one big problem, I have trapped nerves in my spine L4 and L5 as well as arthritis this makes moving around painful for me, yes, I was gardening but I won't just sit around feeling sorry for myself and manage with a stick to walk but not very far and when shopping have a wheelchair so I can push myself around which also gives me the exercise I need in the upper torso. So am not able to take on the exercise one would normally be expected to do, but the hospital physio gave me plenty of chest exercises after my first heart attack which I can still do whilst at home.
I have a sneaky feeling that any appointments will be delayed due to coronavirus and I don't particularly wish to go to hospital to a busy out-patients clinic either.
Babs is very good with a healthy eating lifestyle but sometimes rattles me as there are no scoffing choccy biscuits or cream filled buns!!
Maybe as a treat once in a while though.
Again, many thanks for your comments, it really is very helpful and reassuring for me knowing what other members have gone through.
Regards
Nigel.
I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

Oh joy.
