Still 'ERE

[Yabbie]

As you may already know I have had some problems with a insubordanate Ticker.

The FACTS:

The mud pit was not to blame!!!
I was however reading the general chat pages when the chest pain started.

Who knew typing could be so stressful!!

I have had a few minor niggles over the past few weeks that I had seen the local GP for, Tuesday saw day 2 of some upper abdominal pain, I finished my Courier run on tuesday and started to have some severe chest pains when I got home (Whilst reading the days postings on AULRO).

Here's were it gets scarey.!!!!

We only live less then 3 mins away from the hospital. I told the other half to trow the kids in the Rangie and get me to the Hospital (Her Driving as I thought it would be safer at the time). After nearly suffering Multiple Attacks on the way due to an inability to drive sensibly ( I didn't know you could do half of that stuff with a Rangie ).

Arrived at Emergency notified them of the chest pains etc. I was asked to give my details to the Receptionist first...... . Then I was told to have a seat..... . I waited a few minutes the was asked to enter a pre-check room (A CHAIR next to the one the first nurse was sitting on!!). They took my blood Pressure and then it was battle stations. Nurses and Doctors running every where I didn't really know what all the fuss was about all of a sudden compared to the she'll be right attitude on arrival.
They poked, prodded and asked the same questions over and over again.
End result tuesday night was I was having a heart attack, (WHICH I TOLD THEM WAS WEIRD CAUSE I DIDN"T HAVE A HEART ). further attacks through out the night.

Wednesday morning was more tests.
First up was a Stress test, ( I told them I was really stressed already "What this isn't stressing enough??")
Stress test Completed and failed. (FIRST test I have ever failed, NOT Fair I didn't have time to study) another attack during the test.
Wednesday arvo yet more attacks, Booked in for Angiograph thursday.
doctors spent the rest of the dya scaring the **** out of me with all the potential side effects of the angiograph. I.E. Bypass surgery at RNS Hospital which would need for me to be taken via rescue helicopter to said hospital. A fatal heart attack, a Blod cot forming in the leg needing amputation, stoke, etc......
Family comes to visit Wednesday night, Yet another more serious attack in front of the kids, not so bad for the youngest but the oldest Scared ****less.

Thursday of to Gosford Hospital.
Great ride via ambo (NOT!!!)
Yet another attack midway no meds on board ambo, on goes the lights and sirens, Ambo driver says "hold on for us mate we'll be there soon"

Meds on arrival at Gosford, Waited for hours for Angiograph.
That done, the Doctor says "PIPE'S CLEAN IT's gotta be something else."
Yet another 2 attacks through out te rest of the day.

Today

Had a ultrasound on the heart (I TOLD the operator I Didn't think My HEART was pregnant but they were the professionals)

Results Heart was normal.
Conclusion it must be refered pain from my "NOW" suspected Gallstones, which I now have to wait until next week to have a scan on to check it out.

Mean while I am home and still in pain, although the good part is it isn't my heart, SEE TOLD YA'S I DIDN'T HAVE ONE!!!!!

P.s. Thanks for all the nice thoughts while I was in hospital.

Good to see it wasn't to serious, tho I am led to believe gallstones can be a mite painful ..

Now I know what the other lads are talking about when they refer to you and say ..... the gall of the fellow..

Cheers cobber, all the best.

Good to hear that you are on the mend mate, well, sorta anyway. Perhaps on the right track is more appropriate
