I have just spoken to Rubylady she had an appointment at the MRI today and was admitted to the Acute heart ward for tests. She is on a drip and is to have an MRI scan and an angiogram.
She sounds in good spirits, it is a nice ward and patients ok.
She asks "for grapes please"
Her son has been quite shocked by the seriousness of her condition and has come home to look after the dog and the other pets.

I have just rung MRI and after being told Ruby was in ITU I spoke to the senior sister who told me things were going well , went away and came back and asked for my phone number.
Within a few minutes Ruby rand me, she is very sore and very tired but sounds so relieved that it is all over. Her voice was rather " frail and faint" but so good to hear her. The surgeon has been this morning and is happy with how it all went and they may move her to HD later today.

Hi Ruby, all the best for today. I meant to write this much earlier, but have been for blood tests, an arm and a half's worth, ouch!. Hope you are well on the way through your op now, and having lovely dreams. Everyone on here is rooting for you and your brilliant recovery. God bless.

Hurrah! You must be there now and hopefully even tucked up in your hospital nightie! Sweet dreams and good luck!

seacliff Tue 27-Jun-17 19:39:48

Good luck Ruby. I really hope it's the end of your long wait, and after tomorrow the start of a better healthier life for you x

Hi RUBY
Quite disconcerting isn't it?
Had to see an out of hours doctor last Saturday.
Lovely man but he had one eye on me and the other on my DH shock.

Hoping that your taxi ride Ruby was the first part of your journey back to health.flowers.
moon wishing you a peaceful night

Bellanonna Tue 27-Jun-17 19:35:03

You're in the right place now Ruby. The infrastructure is awful but thank goodness the surgery is excellent. Hope you feel more relaxed now. X. Don't be too disruptive on the ward!

hulahoop Tue 27-Jun-17 19:32:05

All the best for tomorrow ruby hope you get a good sleep tonight or is that expecting too much ?

annodomini Tue 27-Jun-17 19:11:54

Sounds as if MRI had a breakdown of communication somewhere and that's inexcusable! I hope you have now arrived safely. All the very best for tomorrow. xxxxxx
