The Writer’s Workshop

I got a dose of the real world having a heart attack a month ago. My writing was nil, no ambition, no strength or imagination – I was exhausted after brushing my teeth. But I do think a bit differently now. I’m starting to “feel” words and hopefully my writing improves.

I’m saddled with a bunch of pills, a blood pressure machine – mini version – and a pulse ox for my daily use. My docs are fighting between my kidneys and heart and what needs the most attention. My idea is babying the heart right now because I’ve had ups and downs with my kidneys for years. The nephrologist also said to concentrate on heart diet etc. I am a salt person. No salt means no taste so I struggle with that. The nice part is I have no appetite so pretty easy so far. I saw a doc on FB today saying after 75 you are screwed…not his exact words, but apparently a few six figure dollars could help you…if that’s the case I imagine most of us are truly screwed.
