So, it's nearly a year since my heart attack, and everything is going well:

• Stopped drinking Coca Cola day of
• Stopped smoking day of
• Bloods are good
• Diet is good (most of the time 😉)
  • I did have a slip for a month or two where my diet was absolutely thrash but I'm not dwelling on it
• Exercise is good
• Meds are great, apart from occasional bruising

So everything is on the up, no questions on the above, just noting progress, everything is going in the right direction.

The question I have is:

• Should I stay on Effient/Prasugrel beyond one year?
• It's scheduled to finish mid next month
• I'm nearly certain I saw some research saying that if there's no ill effects, then it's preferable to stay on them, but I can't for the life of me find it?

Thanks!

Edit: I got 2 stents at a bifurcation.

Edit 2: what sort of scans and tests do you folks get yearly? So far I’m getting bloods every 6 months.

Hey folks,

Yet another hotel recommendation post. I apologise.

My wife and I are going to Malta 1-8 August. Our first holiday in about 5 years, since we got married actually, so I'm trying to make it awesome!

Would love to get a hotel recommendation if you have one:

* She loves a good breakfast in a hotel
* If it has a spa, that'd be great, but not essential
* Sea view would be great, but not essential
* We'd have a preference for a quieter spot
* We prefer a modern appearance vs classic
* Malta or Gozo is fine

Budget would be around 2400 euro for the week.

I've been pouring over google hotels for the last week and there's just so many 😃
