Yes indeed Lily, and also @Mariateresa, thank you both. 
@David_Spardo If you don’t have a cardiologist I can recommend one at Francheville Clinic.
Thanks for the thought, but not sure I need one Lily. The people at CHP seem competant enough.
My only concern in the whole affair was Jules and if he would escape if someone came to rescue him. And I am not really fussed, each night before I go to sleep I think ‘I wonder if this is the last time?’ It is a comfort because I don’t believe in the after life and thus assume each morning that that is where I have been, and it was not alarming at all. In fact I said to Fran today when I watered her flowers ‘I thought I was heading to join you on Sunday night, but not yet apparently.’

Dear David
I am so very very pleased that you are home and slowly recovering. 
Please don’t give us any more scares. My old ticker can’t take it - I was worried about you and, of course, Jules. Glad you’re back together again.
There’s a long time to go before you join your Fran we hope. And it was sad to hear about Christine’s husband.
Anyway, you’ve now got a new chat-up line. ‘Wanna see my operation scars?’
Take care of yourself and no more Dr Google. See a real doctor next time.
With loads of love and lots of huggles (a cross between a hug and a cuddle) from Rachel

Monday is shopping day but of course I missed it last week, so today I am out again, not much to buy and I am paying attention to the nurse who went through with me the things I should and shouldn’t eat. I’ve been very good, especially with(out. almost) the salt and the sugar but it is still a work in progress.
I think I registered all that the nurse said, but I have never seen such perfectly white teeth and I was fixated on them at the time. I would have complimented her but thought how embarrassing it would have been if she had taken them out to give me a closer look.

Good to hear you’re back home and feeling better, take it easy for a few days though 
Thank you, a leisurely easy walk up through the forest this afternoon with Jules on the long line and a walk around the garden with the bucket is all I have been up to. I stopped before the open, but uncut, field at the top and let him wander there out of sight. After 5 minutes I blew the whistle and he came bounding back on the instance, very gratifying, and then we wandered back down and around the new bit, until tomorrow, unfenced.

It’s lovely to read your comments on the postings again - I missed them!
And I’m glad you’re taking it a bit easier David. How you’re doing it is so much better than just sitting at home doing nothing. And you’ve given me a wonderful idea for use of my netball whistle (I used to play then became an umpire). Very often when lunch, cups of tea or dinner are ready I have no idea where Stuart is, and even if I call him, he says he can’t hear me. Well, now I can blow my whistle and I hope he comes bounding back, just like Jules.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Love from Rachel xx

So glad to hear that you are home and doing well. Can you train my two French Bulldogs for me? I’ve given up.
Welcome home David, take it one day at a time and no swimming in your rock pool!
Bet you’re too late for that - he’d missed a few days, so was probably straight in…
Hush your mouth, netball, gimslips, what are you trying to do, bring on another heart attack? To be honest though, the latter mean little to me having been locked in a boys’ boarding school for 5 or so years and punished for even speaking, never mind peeking, at a girl.
But I do thank you for the kind thoughts though and being the trigger for @toryroo’s phone call to me.
@Motherrobyn . I am not a trainer but a transporter, but that has largely stopped and I have tried to train the canine companions who have shared their lives with me. The present one, Jules, I first met outside a Spanish rescue centre many years ago and he has lived here for several years now, is very obedient unless he gets an interesting scent up his nose which seems to block his hearing somehow. Which is why today when he obeyed I felt so ridiculously superior.
@JohnBoy and @DrMarkH , tested the water, 13c, but inviting as it was I resisted and left Hissing Sid to his perambulations. The question for the scientists is if I go in and expire do I float or sink. 
As is my way I’ve arrived to this thread days late (embracing the French way perhaps), but glad to see you’re back and doing well @David_Spardo!

@David_Spardo, Good on you! Jules sound like a Very Good Boy.
Your’re probably familiar with Frenchies. As the saying goes, “Most dogs have owners, Frenchies have staff.” Those bat ears are strictly for looks.
Too small for me, trip me up dogs I always think. My Beaucie can have me over but I can foresee it easier. 
@kirsteastevenson Don’t worry, and thank you, been a bit behind myself this last 4 days or so.
