Welcome to Wednesday Whinge.

A place for us all come together and get some stuff off our collective chest.

Fun fact; a grumble is the name for a group of Pugs. So what’s had you grumbling this week?

    Ah sorry to hear that. I haven’t heard great things about the meds.

    It’s been really hard to accept the idea of potentially going on meds, but as you say, if they’re going to potentially save our lives, it’s got to be done.

      What the doctor said that convinced me to take it seriously: you can recover really well from a heart attack and carry on with your life. If a stroke doesn’t kill you, the resulting brain damage will leave you with life-altering conditions, such paralysis of half your body, loss of speech (aphasia), trouble swallowing, memory issues, double vision… it’s quite a list. Losing my independence would be unbearable, so I take my meds and keep my cankles covered. :-)

        Yeah, that’s a really good point. A morbid one, but a good one.
