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.

Hi all, thank you for your get well wishes but I haven't had the full operation yet. Thee surgeons came to tell me what was happening, I have no idea when yet. Today I was put under GA for the camera to pass down my food pipe and to take pictures andd measurements of the valve and VSD they intend to operate on. It will be a full open heart surgery operation. I have fasted earlier for 10 hours so making up the brews now.

I've just been looking who is showing next week at Chelsea. The line up looks fantastic, something good to focus on. Time for bed now though, I know, early for me, take care all of you. I can't wait to be on a proper laptop and catch up with the other threads. Lots of love, your Ruby. Xxx

Its good to hear things are happening and that the surgeons are taking such good care to make sure everything is right. And you get to join the Zipper Club! I hope they get a team together soon so you don't have to wait too long. flowers

Good morning Ruby, all my very best wishes for today, keeping everything crossed for you.

..MANY wishes for your speedy recovery ?x

Bellanonna Thu 18-May-17 08:24:33

Same as everyone else and lots of love. The sooner you have this done the better as waiting around is horrible. Maybe we can have more jokes? Sorry I can't help there! Pecker up and all that x

callgirl1 Thu 18-May-17 16:16:40

All the very best from me as well Ruby.

whitewave Thu 18-May-17 16:59:02

No news anyone?

rubylady Thu 18-May-17 17:00:01

Aw, you do cheer me up. I don't have anyone else who has known me for a while, so it's nice to have you all around while I go through this. I wish I could send you all huge bouquets of flowers ? to thank you all but alas, I can't. The wish is in my bicuspid heart though and I think of you all too, many times during my days. And I don't get eggs for breakfast, TOW, smile.

My throat's sore today, after the tube/camera yesterday. Plus the intubation tube too. Plenty of fluids, nice food and tried to sleep earlier but gave that up due to all the noise. Back sore too, really need my own bed today, and my little doggie by my side. I am missing her like crazy, I think I'll be crying for a week when we get back home together. I try not to think about it but it's very hard not to. The ward has improved a bit better, I've got used to some staff and my room but obviously want to be home.

Ah well, no The Chase so Pointless it is, keep the little grey cells ticking over. Plus YouTube has come in useful too, to watch the programmes I can't get on this tele. I bet any money they say they'll do it on Tuesday, when Chelsea starts! And no one at home to record it for me. Ann tape it and I'll be round, watch it with you and Roy. smile Xxxxxxx

whitewave Thu 18-May-17 17:06:23

Xposts. Pleased to hear from you ruby I'm watching put your money where your mouth is. It's pouring out.

You'll have to get Chelsea on play back.

Have a good night.

rubylady Thu 18-May-17 17:09:55

Ann you can be my Aunt if you want, they know I'm not in touch with my mother. It would be feasible, I'm 52, my own Auntie would have been 90, which I know you are not, so I could adopt you as my young Aunt. I will tell them that you are allowed information.

I will pm you.

Thank you Aunt Ann Xxxx

rubylady Thu 18-May-17 17:12:11

White wave, you had me confused then, it doesn't take much, lol xxx

merlotgran Thu 18-May-17 17:16:13

Glad you're doing well, ruby Chelsea with Monty will be just the ticket for perking you up.

flowers and wine for when you're allowed.

cornergran Thu 18-May-17 20:33:26

Hang on in there ruby, lots of flowers, cupcake and even more wine - even if you aren't allowed it smile.

Jalima1108 Thu 18-May-17 21:14:10

brew from me [halo]!

What I would like to know is - how do they get all those flowers ready for next week? In perfect condition, just at their peak.
I'm not sure about 'cutting-edge' designs, I like a bit of tradition myself smile

Auntieflo Thu 18-May-17 21:20:04

Hi Ruby, you are still upbeat, bless you, and I am so glad that you now have an honorary aunt, Ann. We are all rooting for you, and you are in my thoughts often. Hope you get a good night's sleep. Night, night, God bless.xx

FarNorth Thu 18-May-17 22:11:40

ruby you just have to tell them to give info to ann. No need for porky pies about your aunt.

It's nice if you want to adopt her as your aunt, all the same smile

Cherrytree59 Thu 18-May-17 22:16:10

Wishing you a peaceful night Ruby moon

Charleygirl Thu 18-May-17 22:16:41

Ruby you do sound in good spirits which is great. I hate to tell you that The Chase is no longer on ITV. If you hunt around you can find it on Challenge but it is not always filmed in the UK. I have only watched it once since it moved so I do not know if they are repeats. You know what I am speaking about, many others will not!

You will really appreciate your dog when you get home but you must be careful that you do not trip over her. I do hope that surgery is sooner rather than later so that you can get better and discharged.flowers- look after yourself.
