Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As I’ve had some news from various medical tests I thought it was time for an update. The heart attack I had almost 18 months ago came as a bit of a surprise. I had none of the usual risk factors, I was otherwise very fit, very healthy and had a pretty good lifestyle as...
I’m not sure if this is a thing to ‘celebrate’ or not, but Monday was 1 year since my heart attack. I guess it’s good that I’m still here 1 year later, but celebrating the actual event seems a little weird. It has of course changed almost everything for me but I’ve been recovering and...

Being something of a gadget hound and tech-lover my interest was of course piqued. Frontier X The Frontier X is a small, easy to use ECG device...
I’m pleased to report that I have now started back to work following my recent Heart Attack. Recovery has been progressing well, if a little slower than I would like, but that’s just me being impatient. I’ve been continuing with the cardiac rehab classes, even if they weren’t quite what I was expecting. I have...
