On Thursday I was rushed into a local hospital for a suspected heart attack, I was then transferred by ambulance on blues and twos to another hospital 15 miles away where they had a cardiac unit. After a couple of traumatic days in hospital, where I have had superb nursing care, an Angiogram (my arteries were clear) I have been diagnosed with Myopericarditis, for which they are treating with medication (Steroids and Paracetomol. I am home now and gently recovering. No heavy physical activity for ten to fourteen days.
On Wednesday I had the all clear from the Heart Doctor. There was no damage to my heart and the scan and ecg were clear. Resume normal life with one lesson learned, TAKE IT EASY.
A bit harshEdV ? Glad you redeemed yourself by sending Ian42 good wishes though. Good news that things are moving in the right direction Ian42 - keep well!
There is no fun getting chest pains EdV, I'm well on the way to full recovery, and will soon be on full time work once I have used some of my annual leave up. Thanks to all once again. for all.
One thing after another, dad's legs are now infected and is taking antibiotics and has to visit the nurse every other day for a dressing change. I have taken on the cooking however that will be a little difficult from next week when I hopefully return to work.
My dad is 88, however we had to call an ambulance this morning and my dad now realises he is no longer as young as his mind think and has to do less. Of my dad isn't one for sitting around all day doing nothing, he feels he has to do something. Me and my brother and mum are looking after him now. Thanks to everyone.
Try not to worry Ian42 he needs you to keep well too you know! You don't say how old he is, but swollen ankles/legs and needing water tablets is so common as we get older.
