In a heartbeat

It's offical I'm still alive!

It's time for the quarterly "is lithium killing you yet" health check. All routine. Well I think so, the ECG -o-grapher woman let me go with the paper result for me to hand deliver to my consultant.

I recently found out that a friend's close reletive has recently deteriorated to stage 3 kidney failure. The side effect of decades on lithium. To top it all he's swung into a detainable manic phase as they try to do what they can to stave of dialysis. The reality of this health check kicked in.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
