G'day everyone

As you can all no doubt see by my topic heading, i am once again back in hospital... Tuesday night about 7.30 i once again experienced some pain in my chest...not quite as severe as when i had my heart attack about 6 weeks ago, but bad enough to make me think something was'nt right....After trying to ease the pain with Anginine tablets to no avail, my swmbo suggested it may be time to get to hospital.....me being me...lol...said just drive me there ...it will be quicker than waiting for an ambo....those who know my missus would'nt argue on this....thinks she's Brockies missus or something LOL....anyway, we gets to the local hospital in about 5 mins, go into emergency, get a lecture about why i should have called an ambulance, In emergency i am seen immediately by a doctor, i explain whats happening and she puts another tablet under my tongue...bugger me within 2 minutes i am pain free....to cut a long story short because of my previous attack, they want to keep me in overnight for observation...in the mean time they will get the results of my last stay in hospital sent from the other hospital the other side of town....should have them by Wednesday arvo at the latest...haha...yeah right....Wednesday lunch time the Cardiologist comes to see me and tells me that he has seen some pics of my heart that were emailed thru to him and he wasnt impressed with what he saw, and that he would like to keep me here a couple more days , at least until he recieved a disc from other hospital so as the cardio team could decide what they would do. I said to him , so did i have another heart attack last night??..he says well the tests we performed say no....but we think you need a stent or possibly bypass surgery, otherwise you will keep experienceing the pain you had last night...ok do what you have to do.....Friday about 10am Doc comes to see me , dont drink that cuppa, we have decided we are going to take you in for an Angiogram and go from there ....i say ok good cause i am getting very peed off and ready to sign myself out...then he says , the nurses tell me you have developed a cellulitus in your right leg, i had better take a look.....you can drink your cuppa Dave, there no way we will do anything until that thing is better.......So there you have it..im stuck in hospital with a suspect ticker and a buggered right leg.....I dont remember being this bleep off for a long time....so much for less stress....LOL....Thank god for EO....and my son Littleborgy for setting me up with some internet whilst im in here......Looks like im stuck here for a while yet ......Sorry for ranting on for so long, but gee that feels better...lol

Cheers Dave
