Update 8 September 2017


Update time: well with footy finals gone, most important thing on bucket list happening and Bathurst (congrats to David Reynolds) out of the way now is as good a time as any for an update.

Straight up as always things are getting harder with nothing easing angina pain but time now. Oxygen now required for any form of exercise and by that I mean simply standing up. Now showering etc with oxygen. Good stuff this oxygen lol. Have now asked a friend to contact some of you when the time comes about wake details and he will along with another couple of dear friends contact everyone through social media.

Bottom line is I have been dead 3 times and this is the second time I have had to deal with terminal illness. The first time I was lucky and received a transplant but this time there are no treatments or ops that can stop it. The most important thing right now is to drag it out as long as I can but once again that can only be controlled to a certain level by attempting to ease symptoms. So all I can do is fight the pain take as many blood thinning stuff that I can to hold off thickening blood from the polycythemia from causing more heart attacks and try to hold off the inevitable as long as possible. Unfortunately when you are on your second heart your options are far more limited than when you have your original heart. Its also no fun living through the whole death and terminal illness thing when you have already done it once before and know what’s coming.

Today is dday for my immunosuppression medication with one of my primaries being halved from today for the first time in many years. The real scary bit is that the doctor that has ordered it has an awful record with my meds. In fact I have been correct and he has been wrong on numerous occasions about various important things since 2011 when I first encountered him. Let the games begin.

Luv yaz awl lol
