and Sodbury Gazette!

As part of my ongoing fund raising for QEH I had a STUPID
but GREAT idea! (A "Typical Matt" idea...!..)
I thought this will be GREAT fun to..
I entered my car into a car race, and sold HEART SHAPED stickers to go
on it! Each heart was £100, and you could have whatever you wanted
printed onto it!!
Businesses bought adverts, and MOST just put a message of love, or rememberance
to some one dear.... (Quite emotional getting them printed, as some were in memory
of people who are not with us any more etc.)
When I told my parents and Jane they thought I was MAD...
(As did my Doctor!) But after calming down, Dad asked if he
could dust off his overalls and do a race in it to?
We raised LOADS for QEH, and the heart performed well,
(As did my car... But I think she will need new tyres and brakes
after this?!)

Well...
We met in a pet shop!... I was told,
"He's up for adoption...He's been sold, and returned 3 times, for anti social behaviour"..." (He's a fighter, not a lover!)
I think he was destined for the big injection to the sky?
But as I have been given a 2nd chance, thought "Barney" deserved one?! He has been relieved of the sphyrical (plural!) appendages, and has calmed down!
And like to sit on my lap and watch "Top gear"! (Just got to see if he likes beer now?!)

I have had my first set back!
Got a fluid build up around my new heart. Making me breathless, chest pains, woosy, etc. The fluid is pushing against my right ventrical. (5cm pocket?) and making heart work hard to pump blood out. It's trying hard (bless it!) but it's under pressure.
Going into to QEH for tests and to see what can be done?
