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.

Not really bellaNonna, she barely spoke, ate all the grapes she brought and eventually climbed into my bed and fell asleep! (grin)

Of course Ann made my day, she is a star. (flowers)

Angiogram on Wednesday, yeah!

It's been a good day today. I got all the girls in the bay on the ward singing, we sat round a tele and watched the soaps together, laughing and joking with staff, I wrote thank you messages on my bedpans to cheer the staff up. Brilliant hospital, lots of care between everyone, lovely. Take care all of you, please be nice to each other, there are some really serious cases in here, disagree yes but please don't argue, lots of love. Xxx

I bet you're a real tonic in there Ruby. Glad you're having the angiogram tomorrow. Pop in again and say hello. Love x

Rubylady, I agree you are a tonic. You're famous. Last week at our Preston meet-up, your's was the first name we all pounced on when going through who we connected with.

Hope Angiogram goes well tomorrow. flowers

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.

MawBroon Thu 04-May-17 11:33:54

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

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.

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