Tells people not to give up and to carry on as normal.

 



If you've got a good consultant, listen to him, take the tablets and carry on as normal. Don't give up because you've got a bad heart because there's no need to, you just carry on as normal. Do your normal job, do your normal whatever you do, just carry on as normal. Don't let it get you down, don't let it make you an invalid that's the main thing, just don't let it make you an invalid, because you're not, you're just the same as everybody else. You just have to take tablets to keep you going - you're not the only one!
