I thought that I’d put the final touches to my March/April heart attack saga. As you will recall I had an Acute Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in my left leg, (Too much time spent at the computer, I suspect!) leading quickly to a heart attack. At the hospital Emergency Department, I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation (Arrhythmia) and Ischemia (arterial blockage).

After a couple of days in hospital I was offered Warfarin and a batch of further tests. I declined the Warfarin but opted for the tests as it was necessary to see what arterial blockage remained and to determine what damage might have been caused to the leg veins and to my heart per se.

Anyhow, to cut a long story short, the upshot of all this is that my heart specialist has just given me the all clear. Other than a slight tissue scarring in the left leg vein where the clot had formed and then broken away, I have no residual problems. The heart and arteries are sound.

The heart specialist and my own doctor are both more than a little confused by this fact but I can’t say that I am. I am quite convinced that my daily health regimen, as mentioned in my earlier posting on 4th October, was solely responsible for my complete recovery.

I certainly am not the only person to avoid major heart damage and surgery through the judicious use of alternative medicine – and I’m confident that I won’t be the last.

Quote of the day:

You gotta dance like nobody’s watching,
dream like you will live forever,
live like you’re going to die tomorrow and
love like it’s never going to hurt.
