Well here we are ! creating a kind of Diary which I hope is something I can keep too as my track record of staying with one subject is pretty thin, but I think this one is worth it.

At this moment in time in my 53rd year I am at home awaiting a Heart Bypass, I have been to Hospital ( Kent & Sussex ) 8 weeks ago now due to a suspected 2nd heart attack, had the first one in April 2001, this all runs in the family on my Mothers side and there has been known of relatives to fall over at the Kitchen table dead in the past, so it is not by any coincidence that my Mothers brother and sister have had a triple bypass of their own,them both being some what older than myself, I feel to young to go through all this , to some 52 may seem old but when you get here it is not, especially in the good health service we have today.

So today I have been to my GP who is in charge of the 'out patient ' side of things while awaiting a date to be admitted to St Thomas Hospital in London , He has given me another 4 weeks off of work. I will say collecting benefits does not sit well being the old school type but I am looking upon it as 6 months off of work and seeing as I have been working since I was sixteen , got married ,bought up a family, had two nervous breakdowns and two heart attacks as mentioned I Think I am owed some time off cautiously of Mrs Windsors government and the contributions I have paid.
