Addendum to yesterday's blog!

    Further to yesterday's blog I forgot to mention something significant, at least I think so.  During April 2009 I had a (minor) heart attack, and if anything puts your life in perspective, it's lying in an operating theatre watching a doctor look for blocked arteries - trust me, it's amazing but very scary!  Since that time I have been on medication and probably will be for the rest of my life.  The significance being that hospital stays and I do not get on - I have only been in hospital once for an overnight stay and in general I avoid the places as much as possible.  So the thought occurred to me - and I think was a deciding factor - why would I voluntarily want to subject myself to more medication & surgery?  I appreciate there are people for whom its an absolute life or death situation - for me, everything considered, it really wasn't.  Just something I thought about after all the comments from yesterday
