I'm not what you might call in prime condition, I'm 68 years old & I have #HealthIssues. I am a #HeartAttack and #TripleBypass Surgery survivor back in 2018, left with a #HeartCondition.

I have #ChronicKidneyDisease coupled with a troublesome #Prostate that interferes with my #Bladder meaning I have a permanent #Catheter.
My #BloodPressure can get a little out of whack, I can also fall into #Anxiety or #Depression but not like I used to. Finally I have #Arthritis at the base of my Spine.

Regarding my health, I’m not what you might call in prime condition, apart from being 67 years old (at time of writing) and feeling every day of it, I also have health issues. I had a major Heart Attack followed by Triple Bypass Surgery back in 2018, a nice spell in hospital including the Intensive Care Unit, I am left with a heart condition for which I continue to take various medications.

Next my Kidneys decided to stop working, another nice visit to hospital, including the ICU again with a nice session of Dialysis 😒 I was left with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) coupled with a troublesome Prostate that interferes with my Bladder thus meaning that I have a permanent Catheter. I also need to take various medications for these issues and I have been in Intensive Care in the hospital more than once.

In addition I occasionally fall back into my old (long standing) habit of Anxiety and Depression, but nowhere nearly as much as I used to thankfully. Plus just to top it all off I have a bit of Arthritis at the base of my spine which flares up now and again causing me back problems.

My morning routine always includes taking my various medications, at this point in time that means seven tablets every morning covering my various health issues, sometimes I may add pain killers to that. I also have appointments with the Nephrologist and have Blood Tests every 6 months or so.

Oh nearly forgot, due to my main health problems my Blood Pressure can occasionally get a tiny bit out of whack resulting in dizziness 😏

But as bad as this all sounds I do try to get on with things and I think that I don’t do or feel too bad at all most of the time 😊👍
