Well… I’ve been quiet because I’ve spent the last week and a bit lying in ICU. Lots of reasons including chest pain, blood clots, black outs… doctors don’t seem to know the answers for the pain which doesn’t help me much. Black outs are due to blood pressure dropping up to 70 points when I sit and stand.
I just want my normal life back…
Some days the pain is bad enough I can’t eat… which is bad as I’m down to only about 160 lbs. 220 is healthy for my height and build.
I’m just trying to hang in there.
Sorry if a bit of a rant, just gotta get things off my chest.

Have they talked about a cardiac catheterization to check your heart's arteries for blockage, or a carotid ultrasound check of your brain's arteries? If you are having blood clots I hope they at least put in a blood clot filter and/or put you on Plavix/Brilinta/Asprin (or even Heparin).
If you figure out what is going on you could write a diet book about how to lose weight, or at least come up with a catchy (or silly) title for one. I do hope you are able to eat again and gain some weight before you fade away into a ghost or something.
I think, "I just want my normal life back..." is what many of the Ukrainian artists I know seem to say/write too.
I bet a lot of Ukrainians are saying that these days, that whole situation is a clusterfuck
