    Hope you’re on the mend soon. 👍
    I'm starting to wonder....

    My step dad and mum had a 110, then a 130 and then a D2. (although he did drive 'Cruisers for thirty years prior to the 110)

    Mum's had a stent and Warwick had a quadruple by-pass two years ago.

    I now own their old D2..

    I'm now worried.
    Causation ?

    One is no better than the other, and each can have an adverse affect. Maccas is for those that don't enjoy food. Toyotas are for those that don't enjoy driving. Life's too short for either.
    Probably not what you want to hear right now. Get well soon.

    For sure it was the 30 years prior experience for Warwick.
    As for your mum .. just the idea that she's now married to someone with 30 years Tojo experience is what's happened.
    I reckon it could be just like any other infectious health issue!

    A few years ago I had a brief drive of my sisters Rav ... I should get a checkup too.

    A friend was recently sent for coronary artery calcium ( CAC) testing due to family history. Her results came back very high risk even though she has a excellent diet, exercises regularly, is not over weight, doesn't smoke, and drinks only moderately. All that is because her dad died at about 40 even though he was a super fit nuggety rugby player, and she knew she was up against it. Her GP sent her home with a link to this video, which she also showed to us.
    Have a look. it's cleverly done.

    Thanks for all the good wishes, folks. I'll find out tomorrow (Monday) what the go is. Apparently heart surgeons don't work weekends in Brisbane.
    Meanwhile I'm sitting in the PA, making lists of what needs doing on the Rover fleet! I think I'll have some spare time, and it's a way of getting some exercise, by playing the guessing game of "what spanner/socket will I need under there?" And then having to crawl out from underneath the car, go back to the toolbox,and get the right one!

    Well put! The character of a Defender definitely equates to the qualities of hand made food. It's a real shame that the hand made vehicle is no longer...because it's so much more satisfying to own and drive!

    Good luck tomorrow. Hopefully you’ll just end up with a stent - an easy procedure, especially if they go in through the wrist instead of the groin. Even a bypass isn’t the big deal it used to be, although you’ll be sore for a while. I had three stents two years ago after a reasonably serious heart attack and I’m still here.

    If the hospital offers a rehab program take it, I found the one I did very worthwhile. The key to a good recovery is excersize. The more you can excersize hopefully the less of the drugs you’ll need in the long term. I’m still trying to deal with the side effects of the drugs but if you have issues get your cardiologist try different ones and do whatever you can to get off beta blockers - they are evil. Again excersize is the key.

    Two years down the track, I still have hard days. Listen to what your body tells you and don’t overdo things, especially in the early days. I have found I just don’t have the energy I used to, but life is still good. I think having a mild heart attack can be a lucky thing. Take it as an early warning and you’ll have a much better chance of avoiding a more serious one.

    If you want to know any more or just want to talk to someone about it, send me a pm.

    Cheers,
    Jon
