PK First time I went down, everything was ok. Four hours later, rushed in an pacemaker fitted. When I was in CCU, some were under observation for twenty four forty eight hours and had not a murmur. You will probably go a few times, I did so six and three years back. ECG normal, blood sugars normal. In fact the five pints they took at time, all normal.

Still have problems, blood tests galore, wires galore, test, x-rays. Keep in there. still, back to doctor on Tuesday next week, unless of course ...

1 more for today made a batch of shortbread for the 1st time ever and it's turned out ok.:j

TILAMS:- Thank you, I have to admit am a little scared but also desperatly trying not to scare DH. When the pain occassionally hits it's like nothing I've ever felt I can't do anything, thankfully of course at the moment it's literally I feel it for very brief seconds.

Do you mind me asking, How long have you had the pacemaker 6 years or so?

Vjsmum come to dundee and look important at our uni :-) graduation week this week -thought, you not getting an honorary are you?

Noooo - nothing so grand. External examinering!!

Mhags - earthquake? Eek!

5 for today

1. Walked to and from station with OH
2. Watched Sherlock with DD (tho, shhh, I thought it was a bit boring!)
3. Had time to go through all the course files for my external examinering - board is tomorrow and I am usually rushed, which is why I went today. Bonus is that I don't have to get there early tomorrow
4. Dad has been moved again. To a "rehab" unit closer to where he lives. I do actually think me going there last week has made something happen a bit quicker than it would've. But I have always had an inflated opinion of myself :rotfl:
5. YS sausages for tea. They were revolting. THe pleasure is that I didn't eat them and know that, no matter how cheap they are, I'm not getting them again.

I am doing a trial school run with DD tomorrow to the new 6th form. We have to catch the 7.30 bus :eek: But she needs to know what she's in for and what to do when she has her trial days the week after next. Once we have got to the school we will then get straight back on the next train to Brum, where we will continue the great "prom shoe hunt". I wouldn't change much about DD, but it would be so much easier if she had slightly smaller feet!

No, just a little under four months. First felt dizzy six years ago and three years ago. Went to see cardiology, ECG etc were all normal. Come this February collapsed at work, ambulance called, all bravado, ECG and blood normal. Three hours later, crash bang wallop. CCU, pacemaker fitted. Thanks to ambulance crew who got a good trace.

Still nowhere near fifty percent, just had more bloods, ECG today and X-ray.

Got to admit I was bloooooooooody lucky, good trace in the ambulance, heart stopped for ten plus seconds. When I was on CCU, those under observation were worried, but we're giving no signs of anything, me, laid there flat out with defribulator pads etc wired in and kicking. There were able to set the correct ICD and was operated on the next day.

I say again I was lucky, I could go another xxx years and nothing, or I could have been driving home. It makes you think, it is a show stopper.

Suppose in the end, it is funny that I queue humped, I did not want to. I went to work healthy. Today I am not so lucky. I just tell people though, I have got a broken heart. If I can help another, I have done well.

Note I am on the eye pad. I note I said they took five pints of blood. Actually it was about thirty blood tests, but felt like five pints. Annoyed that the only thing wrong is vitamin b12 deficiency

Evening all

1 We won! :j:j:j

2. Exercise class followed by gym this morning - beginning to feel it now as class has slightly changed the routine. Only did half the gym exercises, don't want to overdo it so I can't go at all

3. Postie brought a frying pan for DM but it's too big so will have to get her a smaller one. The pleasure is it has a glass lid which fits my 'posh' pan, so all is not wasted

4. A beautiful day, doors and windows all open and lots of lovely fresh air - if you discount the smells coming from the cow fields across the way. Why do cows smell so bad, and horses smell so good?!

5. Yum RTC mackerel for dinner, with mangetout, fine beans and leeks in a hm rf cheese sauce, made with sk milk of course.

6, Did I mention we won?

Sweet dreams

PK, I'm so pleased you are being checked out, having lost a very good friend to a sudden heart attack at just 45 a few years ago. His was massive and came completely out of the blue. He was such a good person, I was thinking of him just this morning.
I was also talking about earthquakes in Australia to a young internet pal in NSW on Saturday, mhagster. We had a small earthquake here a few years back. A door frame rattled really loudly in our house and that was it! So I have been in one... My oldest friend was in Newcastle NSW when theirs hit, there were fatalities in that one.

1. I am Welsh with a Scottish name but I live in England so I'm relieved England won.
I was at the live music club and one of the regulars is football daft so had popped into the other room to watch the game.
When England won he ran into the club room and then ran round the room holding a bottle of beer and glass aloft, it was so funny, especially as he is in his sixties.
He got a bigger round of applause for that than he did for his singing. Which isn't that bad at all.
2. Frankel - what a majestic performance.
3. Email saying a book I can't wait to read is on its way, woohoo.
4. Son asking for something quick and easy to cook for tea - chilli.
5. De-cluttering some clothes, books and software to the CS. I've got to start being brutally honest with myself when I ask the question 'will I wear/read/use this again?'
