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.

Am bringing chips, do you want gravy or curry sauce?

Latest news from the sickbed ~ DONG soggy cheese and tomato butty eaten under protest ~ DONG woman in next bed thinks I want to steal her husband after strawberries conversation ~ DONG Ann's grapes were my delicious midnight snack last night ~ DONG male visitors on the ward at 9am, not even had time to roll boobs into my bra ~ DONG missing my laptop to keep a better eye on my GN friends!

Sending an SOS, if anyone has a drone, can you please get it to bring me a brew! I will not survive on four brews a day, I dream of milky coffee. Son still got my card so cant sneak through the laser beams and Rotties to get to a cafe. Sucking hard on these grapes for their juice, it's very welcome after stale warm plastic jugged water. I'm going to have some chocolate Ann tonight for my Friday night treat, yummy and thanks again. Now, who's visiting me next? lol

Good to hear from you ruby, keep that sense of humour and you can't do anything other than recover. All good wishes and as many grapes as you can eat.

Rubylady - I'm sorry not to have sent best wishes sooner, but I've only just seen this. I do hope that you'll be feeling much better after your treatment. flowers I expect your son will be preparing for end of term exams at the moment, so good for him that he's come home to look after the little dog and keep the household ticking over in your absence.
Ann - flowers for you too, what kindness you've shown.

Hoping it all works out really well for you Rubylady. Glad you were able to get on line to tell us all the news. You're obviously in good hands now but it's been a long hard wait for you to get some progress. flowers

Get well soon Ruby lady. ??????

As Ruby has reported herself I don't need to but cant go without telling you how I nearly didn't get there.
My S took me to the station for a train to Manchester at 13;03, all well and good forall of 3 minutes when a woman came through shouting stop the train, stop the train. long story short a woman had suddenly slumped in her seat.The train stopped and an ambulance was called. The ironic thing is that we were 5 minutes up an embankment from a major A&E hospital. The first response team arrived after about three quarters of an hour followed half an hour later by the ambulance, then they had to get her off and once that happened the signal people had to sort their bit out.
I had to ring home to ask my S to ring Ruby (she has one of those bedside phones) as I didn't have her number.I treated myself to a taxi when I got to Manchester and eventually got to the ward an hour later than I had said but I made it.
From her post you can see that her sense of humour is intact. She is in good spirits and can't wait to see her little dog.

Get well soon, did have a laugh at your post - especially like the washing up fairies, could do with some of them!
