Hi all

Apologies for my lack of presence around here since coming out of hospital. I've spent minimal time at my desk as my arms get horribly tired and achey (too many jabs & blood tests I think) and even holding my tablet PC for long tires my arms. It's quite frustrating!
Little by little I'm improving, I find my chest less tight in general and my heart seems to be coping better - if it does get racing from activity it comes back down to normal speed far more quickly than it would have. I've tried to stop checking my pulse so frequently as I don't want to live my life around that number, though I do try to check on waking and if I feel like it's going a bit fast.
I'm still having to take it pretty easy in terms of what I can do, and resting a lot in the day, but I feel as if I'm mending even if it is slowly.
Tomorrow I go to the warfarin clinic to get my latest reading & dosage. Hopefully the nurse will be pleased with my progress! On Sunday Rich & I went to our local fish shop for a brief visit (and to get a few new fish for my tank) - we drove of course and I didn't have to walk far, but still found it tiring. Later this week I aim to have a short stroll with my mum to a café for a cuppa, and next week I hope to be well enough to make a cake and go for my friends belated birthday dinner (I was in hospital for our original planned dinner out).
Small steps, but feeling more positive. Oh, there goes the alarm to remind me to take my warfarin. I'd best go do that.
Thanks to everyone for their kind words of support & encouragement. It's quite touching to know how much everyone cares - and the amount of cards and flowers I've had has been amazing.
Still not fasting again yet, haven't for about 5 weeks now but intend to slowly cut down on two days a week to get back into it. Don't want to shock my body!
