I have been feeling pretty good since I got out of hospital and although panicking slightly at every chest twinge when we are out walking around local landmarks
and sweet factories. We were told this might just be my heart revelling in its new and improved blood supply.
I was feeling slightly miffed about all this as I had asked for a heart check up just before leaving the UK but found this;
“According to American Heart Association data, published 2004, for about 65% of men and 47% of women, the first symptom of cardiovascular disease is heart attack or sudden death (death within one hour of symptom onset). Yet the evidence is that stress tests, even if they were performed shortly prior to these events, would not detect that these events were about to happen for most of the individuals who were about to have events.” so you might still be at risk even after the best test!
Anyway we are back on the road and heading to Quartzsite today for a big classic car show and the mineral extravaganza that goes on at Q all the time.
Carol has always been interested in jewellery making and I had a look at lapidary while we were at the big park in December where they had specialist shops for working with stone.
I even made a clock, inlaying the hours with turquoise before polishing it flat. We might do something along these lines on the boat but who knows.
BRRR BRRR!!
Looking at the UK weather forecast you guys back home are in for an icy blast this weekend. Keep warm.
