Fortunately, the two emergencies turned out ok, (one was in theatre for 17 hours and is still very, very sick).
Upshot is, they'll have me fasting from midnight each night, until they know if they can squeeze me in somewhere.
Reminds me of the army system of "Hurry up and wait"!

Or, greatcoats on, greatcoats off.

I had a minor heart attack in late 2000,long weekend in May 2001 into "Prince Charles" and quad by-pass,the first thing I noticed on coming around was that my ears and feet were the same temperature as the rest of me, best thing that could happen to me,4 days in and home on the 5th,but the exercise,walking 3klm a day was hard to start with,seeing I use a w/stick,but 17 years on am still going OK. I don't drink except for the odd scotch or 2, just do what the Dr says best of luck and you will enjoy many more Christmases to come.

cheers

Well, quadruple bypass on Friday, back in the CCU ward Saturday, and they're sending me home tomorrow.
Absolutely astounding what they can do, and the levels of professionalism shown by all staff, from the ER in Warwick, through the Theatre, CCU and ICU at the PA, has been outstanding.
A new year and a new lease on life, with lots more Landy miles to come! How good is that?!

Great to hear Don, it is truly amazing what modern medicine can do.

Now as UncleHo suggested - do what the quacks tell you and I'm sure you will have plenty of time to ponder whether Maccas or Toyotas caused all of this mess....

If I was you, I'd avoid both just in case.
