Finally managed to use birthday gift voucher for Reiki/back massage. Believe in alternative therapies or not....tension & stiffness in my right shoulder could be where I have been subconsciously protecting my 💓 since the heart attacks & surgery. The massage itself was wonderful anyway, almost tempted to set my phone alarm incase I dozed off & missed picking the grandkids up from school.

Pleased to report that side effects of the iron supplement are easing & as yet, no more fuzzy heads with the half dose beta blocker.
