I am officially an old man. I now have my very own cardiologist! He's a great guy, very pragmatic and understanding of man's foibles.
Seventy years of dissolute living and now the piper is asking for his due. I have an enlarged, congested heart. The question now is, how much will I be willing to change my lifestyle so as to possibly extend my time? No or severely limited red meat? Limited salt? Exercise more? Lose weight? Smoking habits? These are but a few of the changes I'm being asked to consider.
I suspect a long night or two with a bit of port as I mull over and weigh the possible benefits v quality of life.
