Living Medical Disaster.......me!!!!

Post by Nigel H-J »

Hi Chaps, :hello: as you remember I was booked in for an operation on my spine 2 December 2011,unfortunately did not get around to having it as instead, 5 days before admittance, things went a bit pear shaped and I suffered a heart attack!!!!! :doh:

Spent four days in hospital being well looked after by our wonderful and (very) pretty nurses!!!! :excited: Going back to work next week but only on a 3 day week for 3 weeks before back to full time. Have to say I feel extremely well apart from getting out of breath which is normal (I have been told) but just rattle a bit more than I used to due to the amount of pill popping I have to do!!!! :lol:

Only downside to all of this is that I am still in acute pain from me trapped nerves in me back!!!! :( Cannot have the operation now until I see my heart consultant in 2 weeks and hopefully he will give me the green light to go ahead with the op, in the meantime I will not be making many trips down to the library but will come back here when I can!! :thumbsup:

Kind regards
Nigel.

Hi Nige :hello:

That's extremely bad planning on your bodies part :lol: Glad you've recovered from the HA though ;) Nice as the nurses are, I've found hospital food is as good an incentive as any to get well :lol: Never mind.. you'll get there in the end :thumbsup:

Crikey, mate! Sorry to hear about all your aches and pains. You must be in a right old state!

It sounds like you're on the road to recovery from the new problem and can look forward to getting the old one finally sorted out. Poor old bugger.

I hope it's all sorted out soon and you can get out jogging :agree:

Ian :)
