I know it may seem as though I have failed the 30 day challenge miserably but I have a pretty good reason!
From when I was born I have had a hole in my heart and a heart murmur along with an irregular heartbeat (I'm not one to do things by half!). Nothing surgical or with medications could be done for me so I have lived a happy life, that has never been held back, at peace with my murmur, going for regular check ups at the Cardiac Specialist Hospital in Leicester.
However on Friday I was feeling very breathless all morning, and was having intermittent chest pains which felt very different from the usual pains I sometimes feel. By lunchtime when I had pins and needles up my arm and severe chest pains and I just knew that I should go get checked out. At the walk in centre I had an emergency ECG and was told that there was a possibility I could be having a heart attack! Follow the panic! I was sent to the nearest A & E in an ambulance, which was pretty scary! I was given Gas and Air for my pain and can now see why they call it laughing gas! My husband works near the hospital and met us there! After having blood taken, x rays and observations I was told that it was not a heart attack, blood clot or anything major but they still had concerns, I needed to go home and be on serious bed rest.
Whilst I am so grateful to God that it wasn't anything serious enough to keep me in hospital I am really struggling to not get frustrated with the bed rest part! I am trying to trust in Him, He is in control and knows what is best for me.
So for now all I can do is suck it up, stay under my duvet, enjoy the constant episodes of Grey's Anatomy and catch up blogging!
