The Long Road to Recovery?
The Long Road
I can take it no more! It’s been 2 months since my 2nd ‘cardiac incident’ of the year and I’ve been doing well with ‘taking it easy’. I still have some discomfort in my chest and back and I’m hoping to see the doctor on Tuesday. However, it’s blowing a hoolie outside and a nice day is forecast for tomorrow so I just can’t resist a windsurf session today and a mountain bike ride tomorrow.
Lets hope its the start of a long road to recovery (or preferably a short road).
The photo by the way is one I took whilst on a windsurf trip to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt a few years ago.

Good luck Al. I hope you’re back and fighting fit in no time.
Nice photo as well!
We all feeling for you Al, we all wishing you a full and speedy recovery. Hope to see you up to all your malarky, in and out of the water, soon.
Cheers guys…. I survived the windsurf session today which is a start. MTB ride at Coed y Brenin tonmorrow! Al.
Glad to hear you are making it back onto the board and the bike!
Thanks Weon… Although I’m not sure that my legs were quite so pleased! They were hurting by the end of yesterdays ride!
Saw the doc yesterday and apparently all is OK with my heart, so that’s promising. They still don’t know what is causing the pain in my chest / back so are doing some more blood tests (tomorrow). However, I’ve been given the all clear to get back into action.
Time to start re-gaining some fitness and getting out on the bike. I did (most of) the Dragonsback trail at Coed y Brenin on Sunday, but after 2 months off it felt like pretty hard work by the end!
