Plenty to think about. Re exercise, I have ordered a stand for my redundant (not recumbent) bike so I can exercise in the garage. Otherwise it will be a very wobbly long as possible walk in the fresh air every day, quite like the exercises I did after my stroke - only not falling in the Grand Union Canal!The meds are going to take a lot of thought- thankyou in particular Casey, I'll follow up the links. Most of all thank you for taking the trouble to respond when you may feel like death warmed up. I feel really encouraged.
No doubt I'll be asking more questions soon.
