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 all your best wishes. They have made me feel a whole lot more cherished.

Currently snuggled on my chair, piles cushion underneath me, pillow on my sore back, waiting to watch Graham Norton. I'm last on the list tomorrow so nil by mouth from lunch so I've sneaked some supper to fill up on tonight.

It's not the procedure as such which is bothering me, but lying on my back for up to two hours, the doc doing it has said. My arthritis has really played up in here, hence stronger painkillers, leading to piles and laxatives! Lovely eh? Still, keep smiling.

I have had a couple of upsets over my little doggie, I am missing her like crazy.

Ann Thank you for keep phoning, it is lovely to hear from you, looking forward to seeing you again. Xxx

I hope you are all ok and enjoying thadis lovely weather, lots of love to you all. Xxx

Love and hugs, Ruby, sorry for the setback. x

Well that is a pain - it is awful to get all psyched up for a procedure and have it delayed - I know - I have twice been in hospital awaiting surgery the next day and then been sent home as not fit.

It does sound as though this procedure is not too traumatic from the reassurances of other posters; and I hope that it all goes ahead soon. flowers

What a shame ! . I hope it goes ahead as soon as possible and you get the appropriate treatment ((((((((( hugs))))))))

So sorry to hear your angiogram has been postponed Ruby, waiting is the worst part. I don't know whether you've had an angiogram before but if not I can assure you it's nothing to worry about. I've had two plus angioplasty and the first time I was beside myself with nerves. If only I'd know it was painless and actually quite interesting to watch on screen. The worst bit was having to lie still for 20 - 30 minutes! Keep entertaining the ward, I expect they'll be glad to have you there a bit longer.

Oh what a b*ggration for her. You get so psyched up for these procedures and presumably there is a degree of urgency. Poor rubylady

Just spoken to Ruby, her angiogram has been postponed until Saturday, she is quite fed up now. If anyone would perhaps like to send her a card please PM me for her "proper" name and hospital details.
