I have to take some weeks off work. Sorry about that.
Two weeks ago I was riding my bike and on a hill suddenly I did not feel that great. Normally I would push myself a bit more but on that day something told me I should rest. I went to have a stress test and my cardiologist booked me in the next day for a coronary stent.
Apparently the one of the few main arteries supplying blood to my heart was totally blocked!
It was a big shock. I don't smoke. I only drink socially. I knew I had high cholesterol and have been taking my cholesterol-lowering tablets regularly. Apparently, that wasn't enough to combat my moderate appetite for eclectic cuisines and, worst of all, my family history.
But I now am glad that I had the stent put in. Had I not listened to my body (and my wife), I'd be having a heart attack on a bike track in the middle of nowhere.
I am doing pretty well, coping fine with rather strict diet.
