I'd just like to say a big
THANK YOU to everyone for your get well wishes, they really are appreciated
I am at home now, a stent was fitted and now I have been told to rest (being retired that is very easy to do)
I do consider myself very lucky that I was seen so quickly,
The doctors and nurses were brilliant, I had never really been in hospital for an emergency like this before
After hearing all the horror stories on the news, about people stuck on ambulances for hours and A&E being full, I am glad to say that Northwick Park hospital was reasonably clear
I guess I was lucky, they had a top cardiologist visiting this day I was admitted, he took one look at me and ordered a whole series of tests, blood, heart rate, blood pressure, gave me a spray to use to get rid of the pressure on my chest
A few hours later, I was wheeled into an operating theatre and I was given a local anesthetic in my arm, he then said 'relax, enjoy the show'
I did watch it, but there was no way I could relax, this was all happening to my heart and I was awake and watching it happen
I am now at home and all I can do is look out of my window, watching the wind and rain and thinking of what I could be doing, if and when the weather clears up
I just want to repeat myself and thank everyone here and to the doctors and nurses that have wished me well
The garden can wait, winter isnt that long and spring will soon be here, yes, planting and weeding, cutting the grass will be late this year, but at least I will still be around to do it all again next year
Thanks again everyone
