Festival foreword
A dull chest ache I'd had for some months and thought the result of a pulled muscle caused by heavy lifting became more significant on Thursday when the pain became intense enough to interrupt my sleep and keep me in on the weekend.
The GP I saw the next day could not pinpoint the cause but based on it's location has scheduled me for an ECG scan to be on the safe side (it could be a stomach or rib problem) as soon as I return from holiday.
Normally I'd be leaping for joy at the imminent prospect of the Glastonbury music festival but I've had some natural concerns about my ailment besides what it could be - what would I do if a similar attack happened out in the field and how it would affect what I would be able to do there. I think I'll only feel celebrating when I've reached the Cat in the Hat crew and put down my pack without any abnormal physical feeling.
But I am going to start relaxing now, getting stressed about it wouldn't help and I'll soon be in the second most chilled out place I know - besides my living room!
