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.

Brilliant news, rubylady. Time to relax and recuperate. flowers

That all sounds good ruby, well, other than the meds problem. So pleased you are having good care.

merlotgran Wed 05-Jul-17 19:53:33

Take it easy, Ruby. Good that you're home now.

Welcome home Ruby. You can recover properly now. So pleased you've got a good care plan too, it'll make all the difference. flowers wine (can you drink the real stuff on your meds or are you confined to virtual wine?

Happy homecoming Ruby!

Cherrytree59 Wed 05-Jul-17 19:15:57

Welcome home Ruby
Can you ask the lady who comes in to help with your meds to sort out any future tablet problems on your behalf?

Have lovely sleep in your own bed zzzz

Welcome home Ruby , hope all goes well for you

Luckygirl Wed 05-Jul-17 18:40:49

Glad that you are now back home and that some proper care is in place. Can't believe the heparin failed to be included in the drugs that were sent home with you! Bit of a clanger that! Enjoy being at home.

rubylady Wed 05-Jul-17 18:09:43

Hi peeps, I'm home. ?????

Came home in my nightie and dressing gown, didn't care, just wanted to "break free"!

It's lovely being home, my own settee, ahhh. There's care in place, being well looked after by a lovely lady, she seems to know what she's s doing and is ever so friendly and jolly. She does a shift in the morning, noon and at tea time to help with remembering my injections and warfarin. So nice and looked after, feel very pampered, lol.

They forgot to send me home with my heparin. So many phone calls later this morning (I really wanted to be doing this on first day home), and forced to speak to the jobsworth "I've got an attitude problem stuck up my ass" ward clark from the ward I was on, a doctor sent a prescription to my chemist and they have delivered it this afternoon. Next time I'm ill, I'm going to the zoo coz the chimps there could do a better job than all this lot. ?

Going to watch The Chase in peace and quiet, thank you all, I will keep you updated. I hope you are enjoying the milder weather, your beautiful gardens and each other. Take care, lots of love Xxx

You're doing so well, ruby, please don't risk a setback by allowing them to discharge you too soon. You need the care plan and to be sure all elements are in place and waiting to go. Around here that means 48-72 hours to set up. Your area could be more, or indeed less. Love your humour and spirit. Just concentrate on getting better. Good when the log jam goes, isn't it? grin.

Luckygirl Tue 04-Jul-17 22:15:35

Please please do not go home without proper care in place.

Ruby I've just been playing catch up and reading through this thread - I am so pleased you've been through the surgery and come out the other side with your own special brand of humour and joie de vivre intact and working flat out! I bet you have all the doctors and nurses laughing with you - and the other patients, for that matter! I don't think you will be forgotten in that ward for a very long time smile.
Keep on doing what you're doing - laughing, joking, flashing yer boobies bra at the young doctors, pooing (grin) and generally just getting better. Looking forward to reading a post from you from your own armchair at home. You are an inspiration, do you know that?

kezia Tue 04-Jul-17 14:37:53

I've only just caught up on all this - what a palaver! I'm glad you're beginning the journey to recovery.
I'm home on sick leave at the moment so here are some pictures of what I've been up to in the garden :-) The wisteria is starting its second flush

You need Backup!!

callgirl1 Tue 04-Jul-17 00:03:09

Take it easy Ruby

rubylady Mon 03-Jul-17 22:55:45

Too right swanny, this one has half lace cups and trim, very nice. ?

I was going home today but I went into AF earlier, heart beating at 150bpm. So tests done, bloods taken, monitor on overnight. Some medication taken and resting now. See what the morning brings. Thanks all Xxx

Swanny Mon 03-Jul-17 19:05:36

rubylady Well done! One step at a time and you'll get home safe and sound. Good to hear you've arranged for Maggie to stay away for a few extra days when you get home - I know you're longing to see your pets but get yourself settled first.

As for embarrassing the young doctor by flashing your boobs front-fastening bra at him, well, what can I say? Mind you an elderly friend said recently she'd never heard of them. She has a lot of shoulder pain and has difficulty doing up an ordinary bra, so I suggested she use them. I bought a couple when I had a frozen shoulder but ditched them as soon as I could as I didn't think them very pretty. Maybe the designs have improved in the last 20 years grin
