Diet starts 2/09/11
Ive signed up for a 12 week weight challenge on the 2nd of sept which i could win 100- 300 pounds if i lose the most amount of weight, i so much would love to win just to get myself a running machine to keep the exercises up in winter. The only problem is iam on holiday 1 or 2 weeks into the challenge, but in the mean time iam still going to make the most of eating what i want for 2 weeks

Not given up yet
Ive not even bothered to come on here because nothing had changed i just drank 2 or 3 bottles of wine on a fri and/or sat night while on facebook and spent most of my time indoors. After visiting hospital today and my right leg getting better (still very slight pain in right groin) i feel i can at least get out and start walking again, i cant tell you how good that feels. Ive manged 2 x 13 min walks round the block this week that abt killed me off because not used to exercise but i feel great for doing something.

Still no change
Nothing really to say things haven't changed at all was suppose to be in hospital to see doctors today but had to cancel it. The weekend was like it has been for sometime now ie have a few bottles of wine on a friday and saturday night and show myself up on facebook. I cant stress how much its doing my head in being stuck in and not being able to do jobs or go for a walk without being in lots of pain, i need so much to get active again.
I had a visit from my younger brother yesterday which was lovely because i've not seen him for some time, i also had a visit from a friend, both these people have to spend there lives looking after children that requires special needs and it really hits home how small my problems in life are and makes me feel i should not go on about my problems because they are nothing. I suppose for me by doing what i do ie typing this stuff and doing the FB thing it just makes me feel iam not alone and theres someone to waffle on to. The second and most important reason is if anyone has the same thing ie heart attack or stent ect they may not feel so strange after going through the same feelings and emotions after seeing how it effected myself, i suppose its aimed more at those that are alone as ive found it difficult to talk to others about it and no one really will understand the fears and how it effects you mentally as well as physically unless you have been or going through it all.

5th Stress control class 19/05/11
Just been to stress control tonight and it was best one yet, i do believe in Karma and things happen for a reason not just for the hell of it, things have actually happened to me in my life since i decided to try an become a better person abt 7 years ago. Iam not going in to all that but over the last 6 days ive been worried on how to approach something that mans a lot to me and tonight during the class they helped me with my problem without even knowing, i just learn to let things happen now an dont question how why what where an when. Be ok with people and they will be ok with you look after people and people will look after you but never ask or do anything selfish or for your own gain then life just seems to work its own answers out. One of thebest books i would recomend anyone to read even though its not fact is The Celestine prophecy and you may have a small clue what i believe in, by the way i thought the film was crap, unlike me right now :)

Up an down an round an round
As this is first full week back on half days iam still trying to get use to early nights and getting up earlier than normal. Works been great an its good to be back, still cant walk far at mo but hope its gradually getting better, at least anyone who is gona have the op will no roughly how long the pains last, i spoke to the doctor again this week an he said it could be up to 8 weeks which is next week before pains go away. On the bad sise got to wait 3 months before full exercise with weights ect which will be begining of July i just have to let nature take its coarse then go mad.
Couldnt sleep the night before last had a lot on mind so wrongly again turned to the wine to help me last night, my problem at moment is i dont know when to stop, i realy have got to cut down i keep teeling myself to wait now until i get fully fit, but i really souldnt be doing it in the week.
All in all i feel top of the world at the moment tons better than the weekend iam gona blame it as always on the full moon. Regarding the person i spoke to fri eve she has talked to me again which has lifted me more than any tablets could do she makes me feel fantastic but not said a lot so i dont know why i feel like this, the thing that really scares me is that i know i can get that sinking shit feeling just as quick if things go wrong, i know its part of life an you have to get on but i feel ive had my fair share of them shit feeling days an wana stay happy. Ive actually got to a stage where i think about her all day and night and cant wait to see if shes been in touch an feel dead happy if she has an down he she hasnt i really dont like this control she has and the poor girl has done nothing except a few nice kind words.I know its me an i have to control it somehow but unless you in this situation you wouldnt have a clue how hard it is to try and back off someone you have feeling for and the really weird thing is ive not even met her yet and would probally shit it if i ever had to.
There is one more thing going offat the moment but not sure how to go into that i really dont want to while iam feeling this good.

Building walls pulling them down and putting them back up
Confidence has been knocked out of me this weekend, its all my fault because of how i deal and feel about others i know i should be careful and maybe not open up to the first people i meet or chat to. I would say 90% of my life ive kept myself to myself over time ive put up a brick wall and not let people get close to me or vise versa, iam not sur when this started i think it was when i was very young and when my grandad died who i was very close to and i think i decided after that that if i wasnt close to anyone then i wouldnt get hurt if anything happened to them, very selfish really. Since the heart attack an the shock of the blocked arterys its changed my thinking to be more open chat open a not really give a shit in someways, its not me but it has done me some good not to worry about the small things in life, its like that saying lifes to short ect.
Ive banged on about my heart an exercise also mention about trying to find someone to share a life with, its a strange one really sometimes i want someone and sometimes i think could i really cope with someone and could they cope with me. At the end of the day more than anything i would love someone to chat to share our lifes go out together and cuddle in the evenings, if thats not asking to much. I got chatting to someone fri eve on line who said all the right things (not sex chat) and was dead nice and kind and made me feel on top of the world and a person again, i really did feel young again and the happiest ive been for years. When i found out it was all not it seemed to be really did gut me the next day and just makes me want to build them walls again and cut people out my life.Like i said in the begining it was all my fault for being open and chatting to someone i didnt really know, the shame of it all is i end up trusting no one again and closing the doors to everybody in order to not get hurt and if that means spending the rest of my life alone then so be it. Its funny how in one weekend i can go from being on such a high to sinking so low but hey as Frank Sinatra sung THATS LIFE (one of my favourite songs).

Wkend 14th/15th of May Let myself down again
Gona have to be honest cos thats what this is all about as ive said before its so hard to put stuff when ure low but thats the whole idea, to show an record everything.
Had a rough weekend cos drinking again 3 wine last night an on third tonight, it seems i have to drink to be happy at mo which is so different from last year. Facebook is the only thing keeping me in touch with outside world at mo, iam so glad i wont of to spend my life house bound like so many people this has really done my head in. I cant stress how much i wanna get out an exercise again even walk, but my left groin/thigh is still playing up, ie really painfull. Ireally really want my life back again. The stress control classes on thurs are great but still dont allow me to do something simple as a 20min walk without being in pain. Mentally god knows iam not happy with the drinking but hope it will stop when i can exercise again and be back at work full time. I did a silly thing last night an fell for someone straight away because she said the right things to me, i know iam not mentally an physically ready for a relationship yet or maybe for the next 5 years, but it made me feel great and a kid again, is that wrong.Anyway lifes for living wheres that next bottle. If iam gona be honest i felt great last night an feel really shit tonight maybe full moon tomoz or too much wine who knows

Sun 8th May Photography workshop at Wollaton Hall with Jemma
Despite me being a fool and drinking the night before i managed to get up ok and go to a photography workshop based at wollaton hall with Jemma, it lasted all day long and we both learnt so much from it, i would recomend anyone that tends to use there brand new shiney camera on auto all the time go to one of these workshops to learn a little more i was very impressed, thanks Andy.
The work shop was run by Andy Wallis Photography

Sat 7th may ok day but let myself down at night with drinking
Had a nice day Saturday took Jemma (my other niece) to drama class at 12pm in Nottingham but as i had to pick her up again at 3pm i thought rather than go home i would nip out to a few shops so ended up in dunelm and B+M looking for bargins apart from a few cat bits didnt buy alot partly cos strapped for cash, iam just glad it wasnt payday i could have come home with so much stuff i didnt really need.
Sat eve was a different mater i decided to cook a curry for the week, i always do this an freeze it because it works out cheaper and only one lot of pots to wash. All was going well until i thought i would open a bottle of wine then a second and the last i remember was being on facebook yet again dedicating songs to my friends after a few glasses of cinzano, what an idiot!!! It wouldnt have been so dad bad i need to be on a course the next day for photography with Jemma, it did go well though. I really have got to stop hitting the wine, i keep thinking the sooner i can get training again the better i will be at self control, i dont like this drinking at weekends it takes too long to recover at my age and so much time gets lost i dont know how people do it everyday. On a positive note i should be starting work this thusday so that will help me no end as i wont be sat in all day doing my own head in.

Bad Place at mo
Ive not posted anything since 23rd just over a week ago, ive not felt to great in myself i dont know if its the being stuck indoors and not being able to exercise still, even short walks have been painful so ive had to stop them its done my head in especially with the weather being really nice. Im still itching to get back to work get out there and start exercising at the moment iam stuck in and pilling on the weight, i drank a few bottles of wine over the weekend (sat and sun eve) which makes me feel ive let myself down especially after not drinking 5 years before xmas time, i wish i could just get fit and well again.
Ive spoke to the doctors some time ago about the way iam feeling and have managed to get on a six week stress control class which i started last thursday, they concentrated on deep relaxation last week and i would say it helped to be able to get out and speak with people with simalar problems and know iam not on my own.
I really hope i can snap out of this soon, it helps sometimes to share my thoughts on here an facebook i know its not what everyone wants to hear but it has helped me in a small way and takes my mind off other issues. I well aware there are people with far worse problems and i know i sound selfish going on about my stuff but it doesnt stop that dull feeling inside cropping up every now and again something i didnt have during last year when i was getting out exercising and dieting hence why i so badly want to get back there.

Mad but lazy day
Well i had planned to be in the garden most of the day putting the plants in i bought yesterday, but time has just flown and by the time i had finished at ikea and abt 5 other shops the hot sunny day turned to rain and thunder storms. The evening was taken up by cooking my first chilli and by the time i had finished that washed up had a bath it was too late to do anythingIts 11:55am ive not long sat down to check email facebook blog site ect then it will be a list of things to do tomorrow, i just wish there was more hours in the day at the moment.
Plenty of fish Dating
As ive given up with dating site i get message to say someone wants to meet me, which i thought at first omg someone actually likes me and got that really excited feeling. Then straight away i then think whos setting me up, this is me here, no one has ever approached me or showed interest so something is wrong, theres a story line on Eastenders at the mo where someone is being set up which sprung straight to mind. The lady looked nice probabaly too nice for me which again made me think this is a wind up. The feeling that someone wanted to meet up was nice while it lasted, but would probably end up being my brother or his kids.

Good Good Friday

We went on to a couple of garden centers something i do this time every year to buy loads of border plants, then a quick trip to Asda and home.It was so nice to spend some time with my mum doing something we both enjoy.

New Health Blog Page
Ive started another blog page called cookies health, this is really a diary to check my progress as i hopefully start to lose weight again and start to exercise, but as i mention in the pages header if it helps just one person saves one life or get someone to lead a healthier life by dieting or exercising then it will be all worth the time.

Thanks to my brother Geoff my Dad and Keith

To much to soon
Iam now thinking maybe ive pushed myself a bit to much with the brisk walks and going twice, i know it didnt feel right at the time but pushed on even when feeling dizzy, maybe need to rest tomorrow and not push it too soon
Dating Sites
Its funny i decided to give up looking for a partner today and going on dating sites in the hope i might find someone, now ive remembered a big reason why i wanted to meet someone, its for times like now when you need to talk to someone or not feel so alone. To say iam shit scared is an understatement, i have a routine now when i feel like this i open the door in case anyone needs to get in and i put my phone close by just in case i need to call someone asap, then i wait until it passes

Scared
2:40am have to put this just in case anyone with heart problems does view, feeling a bit frightened tonight shaking a bit and daren't sleep at mo, i get this sometimes because i may have a pain or twinge in chest or arm and as i had heart attack in my sleep i just feel frightened to drop off. It times like this you just want to talk to someone and it always happens in middle of the night when everyones asleep. My family and lots of friends and neibours have said call at anytime which is dead nice but not fair. I just have to ride it out or tap it out in this case theres nothing worse than just lying there waiting for something to happen.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Just want to say many thanks to those who helped me get to 1000 page views its now up to 1061

BACK TRACKING ALREADY
I know this sounds so weak and iam back tracking already on day one but as ive just been reminded on facebook, not only are we comming up to a double bank holiday and easter as well as a Royal Wedding and St Georges Day i think its a really bad time to diet and cut out the wine. Normally i would do it just to prove a point, but would sit in grumpy so as they say hey you only live once, it did me in last year listening to everyone commenting on what a nice bbq they was having i could even smell next doors all weekend and people saying how great easter is while i was having friut an crap.
Sooo i will put off they stopping drinking and diet for a couple more weeks so i can enjoy myself, but i will try to keep the walking up

WEIGH IN 17 STONE 108 KG
After weighing in at 17 stone (108kg) today ive decided to diet again, in jan 2010 i was 19 stone (120.7kg) and by dec 2010 managed to get down to 12 stone (76kg) it has gradually crept back up since christmas and i am now the same weight as this time last year so need to put a stop to putting on the weight. My target will be to get to 12 stone again by dec 31st and this time not to treat myself so much over christmas, i do however blame a lot of it on the shock i had with the blocked arterys and the eating and drinking that came with it. Ive now got to get a grip and start over and not let this beat me after all ive got two good arterys now instead of just one.
I may even start a new blog page to show how i am going with the diet and exercise just to keep me going and keep me from using bored.com

TURNING POINT
After having heavy night on the wine friday night and losing most of Sunday with it ive decided today is time to stop and get fit and lose weight again. Its nearly 3 weeks since op and iam just able to walk half a mile in about 10 minutes without pain which i will increase over the next few weeks. Ive decided (which seems mad a week before easter) that there will be no more chocs or wine or fatty foods.

Weather great but iam not
Its a fantastic day weather wise sun is out and as Buddy said theres not a cloud to spoil the view, but guess who cant go out there and get his jobs and garden sorted. As mentioned yesterday its only been two weeks since op and ive only just started slow walks with little pain, it doesnt make me not want to get up and go, i really am itching to get out there.
I know my problem is not serious and i will be 100% soon but it has made me think a lot about those people that are house bound and who can never get out or need to rely on others to take them out, i really dont know how they cope mentally.
I should really stop banging on but there is little else to do at mo except tap away on the keyboard and i have said i want to do this not only to use as a diary but to let other people in same situation know what to expect and to know there not on there own. The highlite of my day is to count the page views which iam sure are mostly mine and to view the comments which there are very little if any, but it wont stop me going on. Iam up to about 950 page views it would be a dream to get to 1000 even if 999 are from me

Fitness
Went ok at hospital today enjoyed it and learnt a bit just need to put it in to practice now. Its mad ive just looked at calendar and its only two weeks since last op it feels like months ago i really want to get back to full fitness back in the garden and back to work. Ive managed a 15 min slow walk tonight and not in too much pain, i will keep this up for a few weeks until doc says i can start to do full work out again.
WEEK TWO OF DIET AND EXERCISE COURSE
Just sitting around waiting to go on the second weeks course for diet and exercise, enjoted it and took plenty of notes last week, hope it all sinks in. I will end up having my own diet as i think i know what works for me, regarding the exercise i cant wait to start again just for that natural buzz. Its so frustrating having to sit in and not be able to do anything except tap away on the keyboard.

THE MASTER PLAN
The plan once i return to work full time and can start exercising again is to get myself fit and the weight down again, last year i went from 19 stone down to 12 and am now back up to 16 stone, it wont happen so quick this year but i will get there eventually. I have just started walking again without too much pain so feel positive this is the start to recovery. I certainly want to cut down or maybe even stop the drinking again if only to stop giving my facebook friends grief, the next step and hardest for me will be to quit smoking this i know i will find very hard to do but i really want to get over that final hurdle.
I am thinking about yet another page to link to my blog to keep track of my weight and exercise hopefully to spur me on (and give me something to do while iam off work). I am also thinking of a campain to press for people to get tests for unblocked arterys as many of my friends know i spent a year having tests and being told i was ok and my heart was ok, no tests i had showed that two of my main arterys were blocked, to me something needs looking at. I am fine now but how many of you can say the same about yourselves your parents and your children, how many have seen the advert about smoking when that white gunk comes out of a smokers arterys, that dosent just happen with smoking that happens over a period of years bit at a time it builds up if you carry on eating crap and you cant say you wasnt told its on the radio and tv all day telling you to eat five a day and exercise if only for 20 minutes. I dont eat cheese now and havent for a year, how many of you have had pitza or given it your kids in the last year how many of you will be eating sausages and burgers this summer how many have you had in a life time. If your the same age as me you really need to look into what you are eating and the exercise you do, i was lucky i survived will you?
I am thinking about yet another page to link to my blog to keep track of my weight and exercise hopefully to spur me on (and give me something to do while iam off work). I am also thinking of a campain to press for people to get tests for unblocked arterys as many of my friends know i spent a year having tests and being told i was ok and my heart was ok, no tests i had showed that two of my main arterys were blocked, to me something needs looking at.

ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
After splitting up from the girlfriend having a heart attack and going bankrupt all in the first quarter of 2010 and then after nearly a years rehab for heart attack and then finding out i have two blocked artterys because i went private instead of using NHS.The problems then began i started putting on the weight i had lost (7 stone) smoked more, started drinking heavy and to top it off i wasnt and still am not allowed to exercise which gave me a natural high. Dont get me wrong iam no saint and there are people out there a lot worse than myself. I dont want sympathy i want encouragement help and friends, what i have found is far too few people talk about the problems in life (i would include myself in that), the first thing i want to do is get myself back on track starting later on this year and i want to share my ups and downs in the hope that one day it may help someone else as well as myself. I want to thank my friends and family for the help and support they have given me and i do mean it when i say sorry for putting you all through it, but i can honestly say this experience will change my life for ever for the better, LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS XXXX and Thankyou
JODIE AND JEMMA

TIP OF THE MONTH

Gutted
Finally went for second artery to be unblocked last weds and it didn't go well, they decided to stop after saying the walls were too badly damaged and after causing a hole that let fluid leak into the sac that surrounds the heart. I have to go back in today jut to make sure fluid has gone. My only option now is to have the artery replaced which involves cutting the rib cage, after speaking with the doctors i am going to leave this until later on in life, in the mean time i will have regular checks to make sure the other two main arteries stay clear and do a monitored rehab

Latest on second opp
Docs rang today just to let me know i havent been forgotten, they say the second opp could be next week now or even the week after and to add more insult to injury they may be doing the operation in the hospital i was in a year ago when i had the heart attack because its better equipped, thats the hospital that released me without having a angiagram or didnt seem to notice i had the blocked arterys. I just want this done now so i can start to enjoy my life again get out in the garden exercise and work full time ect.
Well Done Andy and Lisa
You will see a few posts up about a good friend of mine, i put these posts up not just because hes a good mate and good at his job but because ive seen his hobby grow and grow as time has gone on and its so good to see someone start from scratch and do so welll. If you asked Andy he would say nothing has changed and he is still doing what he has always done, you will have to visit Andy and Lisas site to see how well they are doing, his latest project is to share some of his knowledge by doing a days course with a meal and drinks inc at wollaton hall on Sunday the 8th of may. If like myself you want to learn more about your digital camera and photography besides using just the 'Auto' button check Andys site out and become a fan.

NEW FOLLOWERS
Ok my next step now i think ive managed to see how to follow people is to start following some blogs in the hope that they might follow me back, please feel free to do so and offer any advice

JUST A REMINDER WHY IT BEGAN
The reason i started this blog is because i had a heart attack and a lot of time to kill as i am unable to push myself at the minute. As i live alone and had few people to talk to about the heart attack i decided to look on the net and eventually decided to have ago at creating some blog pages to not only kill some time but to hopefully meet new friends, i really dont want to go on just about heart problems ect so i thought i would add a couple of other pages including my interests in the hope again that i could chat or even share ideas with people. I joined various dating sites which isnt me at all and i certainly am not the chat up line type of guy nor do i make the first move in fear of being told where to go, so you can imagine i had no joy there. After thinking seriously about the dating sites and not being to happy on them (not that i spoke to anyone) i realised it wasnt dating i was after it was someone to chat to and share hobbbies ect and it doesnt have to be just a female even though i find them easier to talk to.
If you do drop by please follow or leave a comment if only to say how i could make a more interesting page ect, it is a bit hardthis time of year but hopefully i can get a few posts and pics up of trips out later in the year and the posts wont be just about cats and gardeing oh and heart problems

BACK TO SQUARE ONE
After swallowing my pride listening to a friend and realising iam doing something wrong i will try and change a few things, firstly ive been told off for typing everything in capitals and for having to many different things on my main cookies world page, so i will try and strip it down over the next few days/weeks and try and concentrate on fewer items, however it does make me laugh because the page does some up my mind ie all over the place at the same time

SILLY IDEA
Ok the porn idea was silly and it didnt work anyway, not that i wanted that people who wanted to view porn looking at my site, it was a bad idea and if your interested i got 6 page views, so that brings me back to square one, how do i get more views and people to follow me. A friend suggested i add tags to the bottom of my comments and hopefully i should get some followers, this will be the next step today to see if i can increase the grand total of followers to 3 one of them being me anyway.
Its 2:20pm Tues 15th march 2011 and i have 705 views with 2 followers, lets see what happens now with tags

KEYWORD TEST
AS THE SITES STILL FAIRLY NEW AND IAM STILL UNSURE WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GO OR WHAT I ACTUALLY WANT FROM IT, I AM TRYING OUT A FEW NEW EXPERIMENTS. THE ONE THING I DO KNOW IS I REQUIRE PEOPLE TO VISIT THE PAGE SO I AM USING GOOGLE ANALYTICS FIRSTLY TO SEE HOW MANY VIEWS IAM GETTING AND EXACTLY HAT PART OF THE WORLD THE INTEREST IS COMMIG FROM. THE NEXT THING I NEED TO LOOK AT IS KEYWORDS TO PULL PEOPLE INTO LOOKING AT MY PAGES. IAM STILL LOOKING INTO THIS AND CANT SEEM TO FIND THE MOST USED KEYWORD AT THE MOMENT, ITS MORE LIKLEY I HAVENT LOOKED HARD ENOUGH YET. ITS NOT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE I WANT TO BE LOOKING AT MY SITE BUT AFTER SPEAKING WITH SOMEONE IAM GOING TO TYPE IN THE WORDS PORN PORN AND PORN FILMS AS IVE BEEN TOLD IT MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST SEARCHED SUBJECTS ON THE NET. I AM NOT SURE IF I HAVE DONE THIS RIGHT JUST BY TYPING THOSE WORDS IN AND IF IT WILL INCREASE MY PAGE VIEWS, BUT THERE IS ONLY OE WAY TO FIND OUT.
THE PAGE VIEWS NOW IS 690
THE PAGE VIEWS NOW IS 690

UNSUCCESSFULL OPP :(
BACK FROM OPP TODAY IT DIDT GO TO WELL, AS THEY NEEDED SOME SPECIAL EQUIPMENT, THE GOOD NEWS IS THEY CHECKED THE 2 (4.7 MM) ARTERYS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THEY HEART THAT WAS WORKED ON AND HAD A STENT FITTED IN JAN AND SAID THEY LOOKED PERFECT. THE ARTERY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HEART THAT WAS BLOCKED (3MM WIDE) WAS TOUGH TO GET TO AND CLEAR AND NEEDED A SPECIAL CUTTER AND "CORK SCREW SHAPED TUBE TO PUSH THE CUTTER DOWN, THEY HAD NEITHER AT THEY HOSPITAL AND I EVEN LAY THERE ON THE OPERATING TABLE WHILE THEY PHONED CITY TO GET THESE TOOLS RUSHED ACROSS IN TAXI, THEN THE CALL CAME BACK TO SAY CITY DIDNT HAVE THEM. THE DR TRIED AGAIN TO CLEAR THE ARTERY USING A 14 THOUSANTH CUTTER BUT HAD LITTLE JOY, I SAY LITTLE BECAUSE HE DID BREAK THROUGH 14 THOU OF A MM IN THE 3MM ARTERY AND A TINY TRICLE IS GETTING THROUGH. THE DOC ENDED THE OPP AFTER AT 2HRS AND SAID I WILL HAVE TO GO BACK NEXT WEEK. NORMALY I AM QUICK TO SLAG THESE PEOPLE OFF AND COULD QUESTION ALOT OF THINGS BUT I KNOW THESE GUYS DID THERE BEST AND I HAVENT GIVEN UP YET, IAM GLAD I DONT HAVE TO WAIT ALONG TIME TO GO BACK IN AND I THINK THE NURSES AND ALL THE STAFF HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC AND DID A GREAT JOB, I WANT TO THANK THEM ALL AND HOPEFULLY ONE DAY DO SOMETHING TO DONATE SOME MONEY TO THE STAFF AND THE WARDS. BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU :) XXXXX

opp tomoz
Ive got my second opp tomorrow to unblock an artery, i didnt think i would be this bad and started to worry alot tonight about. Its when you sit in silence for ages staring into nowhere with no feelings or thoughts that you know you are really worried, i cant wait for this time tomorrow because i hope its the first step to getting my life back together. Its been nice to chat on FB and take my mind off it a bit, this is when you really miss having a partner or a soulmate to chat to.
