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.

Wishing you well, ruby, will be thinking of you. Soon over now.

Best wishes to ruby and some flowers - and grapes if she is not nil by mouth in which case I will have to sit virtually by her bed and eat them myself (the very annoying visitor).

Thank you all.
I spoke to Ruby yesterday and she is feeling more ready now and just wants it over and done. Rather anxious about pain and tubes etc but who wouldn't be ?
I will ring her over the weekend and will keep you all in touch. She really does appreciate it.

Swanny I'd hope to have Maggie at the side of me and I'm being chased by a rugged, toned, gorgeous young man! I've a lot to make up for! ?

I have spoken to Ruby as in my mind (blame the heat) Ireally thought it was tomorrow she was being admitted but it is next Tuesday.
Anxiety building up now, it seems such a long wait for her.
She left A&E at 2:30 am as it was so busy and she was shattered, just sore now but no pain.

Thanks for visiting Ruby. You must be right pee'd off now. We are glad that your AuntieAnn is being so caring but we'd expect no other from her. We all care for you too and she is our proxy. flowers

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't posted for a bit, been quite down waiting, feeling anxious and just want all this over now.

I didn't stay the other night, at half two I was exhausted and it looked likely to be another two hours or so to be seen. The sister did say it just looked bruised and not broken and I can breathe without pain there. There were also police bringing a couple of people in and, being on my own, felt quite vulnerable so wanted to be home. If I do have pain I will go back this week when it's quieter.

Aunt Ann has phoned today, asking how I am but also told me about the book she has won for being so caring to me. Thank you to all who nominated her, she is a wonderful, caring, generous lady with a heart of gold who has thankfully taken me under her protective wing and makes me feel loved and cared for. I hope we will remain related for many years to come. I knew nothing of this competition or the street party, I hope you all had a lovely time. ?

My car has been returned today to Motobility, I'm not well enough to drive now and won't be for months so might as well save the money for now.

I'll try to come on more, all of you take care, lots of love Xxx

Oh dear oh dear oh dear rubylady! I am so sorry to read about your trip to A&E. Has someone checked you over by now and ascertained the extent of the damage? You must be worried about it delaying your operation. I do hope it goes ahead ok this time and that you'll soon be leaping around again.

By the way, did you know that one in four frogs is a leap frog?

Love and a very gentle (((hug)))

Hi Ruby. Just caught up. Family here for the weekend. I do hope they saw you soon in A&E and that hopefully you only have bad bruising and not cracked ribs. I hope it's not as hot where you are too. Our outside thermometer registered nearly 30 in the shade here in Norfolk. Too hot. Visiting dogs (hairy Cockers) can't be trimmed for another couple of weeks and the old one is really suffering. Not off his food though he can't break the habit of a life time. I do hope you and Maggie are coping ok. flowers

kittylester Sun 18-Jun-17 15:33:10

Hi Ruby, I've been busy for a few days so not seen this thread. I hope you are ok - let us, or at least your Auntie Ann know what's happening. flowersbrewcupcake

Pleased it's not just me, pensionpat, also loved the theme tune, great programme smile.

Sending good wishes and positive thoughts.

flowers - thinking of you Ruby - hope you got checked at A&E x

I loved Hill St Blues. Especially the theme tune.

shysal Sat 17-Jun-17 15:07:22

Hope you will soon be more comfortable Ruby. flowers

cornergran Sat 17-Jun-17 11:23:51

What happened, ruby, were you able to sit out the wait? If not please go back today, should be quieter during the day, best to get checked out. Don't risk anything and, just be careful out there smile. I'm probably the only one who watched Hill Street Blues and remembers that catch phrase blush.
