General Musings

It's been a couple of weeks since my last diary but it's flown, a busy time, I mentioned in my previous blog that I had to go for an angiogram, to see if I have angina or heartburn. I had the procedure, on the morning of The Oaks. An angiogram is where they inject you with dye, put a camera up your artery to see if there are any blockages in the blood flow to your heart. Let's just say that it wasn't too much red wine and pickled onions that caused my chest pain, which was a bit of a shock, but at least I know. The doctor told me I need and an echocardiogram before the surgeons would make their decision as to what to do next. Yes, surgeons, I probably should have cut down on the crisps and pasties, An echocardiogram is a little like what pregnant ladies have to scan their unborn babies and not invasive. The angiogram was a different matter altogether, so no driving for 48 hours after having it which scuppered any plans to drive to Epsom, so I missed the Derby meeting which was a bugger. On the plus side, I have managed to interview Tony Calvin and Johnny Dineen for #BettingPeople since so watch out for them after Royal Ascot.
