This old heart of mine …..

Now that another trip to Cancerworld has been ruled out, my GP is being very thorough and covering all bases.  So I’m at the surgery first thing this morning for a heart failure blood test.  

A tiny blob of the red stuff is put into a machine for analysis.  This takes about half an hour to process.  I don’t need to stay for this, so make my way home.  

An hour later the results are sitting on my phone, courtesy of the NHS App. Yet again the NHS amazes me by what it can do, when enabled to.  

I’ve just dipped a toe into heart failure territory.  A function of age as much as anything. I don’t need to change my diet but will need to do a bit more exercise……  Anniemay has her tool box out converting the spare room into a gym for me.

Thank you NHS.
