Thanks everyone, heart is stabilised now, blood was not yesterday so will see later on, they can’t get any blood this morning I’ve run out 😆
Been just busy having constant checks and tests, had a visit last night from an icu dr to look at me who asked me who visited and left at 7 last night (dh) he then said he had saved someone’s life.So I messaged him and a young guy had collapsed and given him his mobile phone with instructions on how to help him, so dh gave him a couple of epipens 6 mins apart and managed to get reception at my heart hospital to get people down to help, hopefully he was ok, icu dr still didn’t know.Fingers crossed I’m out today but no idea how I’ll manage 😱 have to self inject with big needles for a few days if they do let me, so I’ve asked dil as I thought she may have treated her rats over the years 😆MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁7 -

Wow, well done to DH!Glad you are stable and hope they manage to get some blood out of you soon without too much prodding (it’s horrible!). I think I’d want to stay if the alternative was injecting myself!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days
