. . . . comes free with every heart attack.

Bastid!

I was just reading the newspaper after enjoying my breakfast on Saturday 4th August when Wham - Bam - Thank You Ma�am . . . .

Cutting a long story short -

Wife calls 999
Call handler tells her to ram a king size Aspirin in my mouth
Ambulance team arrive promptly
Rock up at A&E - thankfully straight into a bed not parked in corridor
Pain eases off
Lots of blood tests and ECGs, etc.
4 nights in hospital 1 cardio dept under observation waiting for transfer to hospital 2 (Glasgow)
Get transferred 35 miles for Angiogram / Angioplasty procedure
4 neat little Stents in 2 arteries
Then sent home last Thursday

So I�m chilling for a while. All car & bike keys are �hidden�.

Rattling with pills morning and night. Some for ever.

I was lucky. But never saw it coming as I�m not a smoker. Not overweight. Eat well.

Doc reckons it�s in the genes.

Short term plans being rearranged, but should bounce back ok in not too distant future.

Will look at stepping up my de-cluttering project and continue to burn all possible candles at both ends

Carpe Diem!

Quite a shock, get well soon and rejoice in the fact that you have had a shock, received treatment, have a clear diagnosis a chance to recover and bike to get back on ASAP.

That's really rather clumsy of you.

Should've drunk more red wine...

Best wishes on your recovery. Although it is bad luck, it is really good luck as a whole. You will get used to the pills. And... you can dance and get a job with a marimba band!!!

I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Mmmhh, then you can be glad that it went well.

Had a heart attack in December, also with hospital, 3 stents and so on.
But what can I say, since then I take more time for the RS and for the really important things, so it had something good, if you can say so.

I wish you a speedy recovery and hopefully soon RS-driving
