8. I've gone all non-fiction
Sun Dec 29, 2019, 02:37 PM
Dec 2019

Currently reading "A Wisden Collection" (cricket), and going to follow up with "Gone Fishing" by Mortimer & Whitehouse. Next fiction? Hmmm... now you've put her in my head I might go for "A Beautiful Mystery" by Louise Penny.

Had the results of my echo-cardiogram. No impairment to heart function, and no sign of any damage. This has made me very happy & relieved. On a political note: I have received - immediate treatment, ambulance to hospital, hospital stay with further treatment, ambulance transfer to another hospital, an angiogram & angioplasty, home visits from cardiac care nurse, support from GP surgery and the diabetes team. I will be attending an 8 week cardiac rehabilitation exercise programme, courses on cardiac care. I'll be back to the hospital in 6 weeks for a post-op follow up.I'm am taking 7 different prescription drugs.

Total cost to me of all this: £0. And yet the people of the US seem not to want "socialist" medicine. Well it's your funeral (literally).
