Couchfish: Getting to the heart of the matter

Live every day

A quick Couchfish update today to advise of a slight scheduling change. Last Friday, while at home in Bali, I had a heart attack—yes, while writing Couchfish!

I have a period of tests over the coming week, and my doctor has suggested, rather strongly, that I take a break and rest. Because of this, I’m putting Couchfish (and everything else) on hold for a week. The plan is to reassess where things are at next week. Aside from feeling like I’ve been run over by the Number 68 bus, and being utterly exhausted, I feel ok.

If it is decided I’m going to be laid up for longer than a week I’ll suspend all the payments until I get back on deck. Hopefully though, this will not be the case.

Many thanks for your support

Stuart

Holy crap, Stuart! That's crazy. I hope everything checks out alright. My father had one last year and it ended up being that "shot across the bow" for some needed life/diet adjustments. May yours be the same! Get well soon. K.

Dear Stuart, take all the time you need and just drop a line about your health once in a while, you have a whole bunch of friends who will wait for those.
