I had a good chat with the GP today. (How often do you hear that said?) As well as sorting out some of the practicalities of the wheelbarrows-full of meds I’ll be getting, he reassured me that
- I’m not in imminent danger of cardiac arrest
- I should be able to endure the occasional burst of adrenaline
- Moderate exercise is a good thing.
In other words, I don’t need to try and cocoon myself in cotton wool.
So I’m feeling reassured, at least for now. I expect this will be a bit of a rollercoaster but never mind.
One thing I’ve noticed is, being attuned to anything heart-related at the moment, how widespread ‘hearts’ are. I don’t just mean everyone has one, but that pictures of hearts, metaphors about hearts, and general heartiness are everywhere. Avoiding them would be impossible. Similarly, it seems that all TV programmes, films and books involve scenes in hospitals. There’s no escaping this stuff.
