Currently I am waiting for updates on just how bad my heart problems are and if anything can be done about the discomfort in my knee.
Finding out that I had a heart problem was perhaps a but of good luck that has come out of my time in prison. The nurse why did my initial assessment flagged it up on the first day and had me in the following day for more intensive tests resulting in a referral to Cardiology. Just over 4 years on I'm still waiting for a proper explanation on just where I stand ...
Last January I had a major problem with my right leg and eventually had an ultrasound that reported 'major deterioration of the structures around the knee'. Since coming out I have had an X-ray and that shows 'early arthritis', but it's not the knee joint that is a problem so while I am currently spending 30 to 40 minutes a day on exercises I am not convinced it is the right intervention and it is also now affecting my getting out for 30 minutes or so brisk walking. I'm sure that is more beneficial since it also gets me out in the fresh air.
The Medical Apps and their problems just add to the fun today.
