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.

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

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

Well done ann
Do you have her son's phone number? Could you contact him?

You have been a good friend ann
And kept us informed as well as passing on to Ruby all the well wishes from the GNers.

Ann you have been doing a sterling job , we are all rooting for Ruby and wishing her well

I am really cross with myself that I didn't ask Ruby to authorise my asking for information when I ring for news of her. I could lie and say I am a relative but that just isn't me. When I rang last week when she had been moved I was asked my relationship and it was only when I could give her approximate age that I was told they would put me through to her phone.
She really has very few contacts and if she is in intensive care a few days I will be cut off from contact. I do not like that. I just hope she makes a good recovery and is soon back in touch.

I hope to hear good news tomorrow about your surgery if you feel well enough to post. With any luck and if the surgeon gets his skates on, the big op will be over and done with and you on the straight path to recovery. All the very best for steady progress from now on. xxx
