Hubby was discharged this afternoon with a wad of ECGs, some nitro spray and enough perforations to imitate a tea bag.
The good news is that it was NOT a heart attack, and the Xray showed his lungs are clear.
They think it could be to do with angina as he was diagnosed with Stable Angina a year or so ago, but the HHA didn’t pursue it when he damn well should have. Still, Hubby will be sent an outpatient’s appointment with the cardio department who will take it from there.
Once again the GP system has let us down.
Both of us are shattered, so I’ve packed Hubby off to bed nice and early so that he can catch up. He managed to get a few hours sleep at the hospital, but it was patchy. The staff looked after him though, sandwiches and plenty of cups of tea. One said he was one of the nicest patients they’d had. Hubby’s like that, always appreciative, co-operative and tries not to give anyone a hard time.
We stopped off on the way home to give Maggie a wee just before 6, but she’ll need a final one before I can retire, that is if she co-operates. It’s chucking it down with rain now, so as soon as there’s a break in it, she will be taken into the back garden to perform.
I’ve got about 30 things to catch up on in my reader and I just won’t be able to do it, though I will give it my best shot. Any new challenges will be carried over again, unless I can come up with some decent one liners!
If Hubby feels up to it, we may have a field trip to Skeg tomorrow to get Maggie’s new baby and there was something else, but I can’t remember what it was. I’m going to have to have post it pads and pens all over the place if my memory gets any worse. as I seem to be going through a lot of CRAFT (Can’t Remember A Flippin’ Thing) moments just now.
HE’S HOME!
Note:
Got a call from the surgery about my bone density scan. The receptionist told me that the doctor had said it was OK to tell me that it was normal. I told her I’d speak to her again in two years then.
Glad he is home. Best wishes the doctors can find an good a sweet for you.
So glad your hubby is home and ok! Best to you! ❤
Thanks Penny!
CRAFT – I’ll have to use that acronym (fits perfectly)!
‘F’ word can be modified to suit ;D
betterer and betterer
I love that word, betterer
the things we learn from kids …
Excellent news! Wonderful that he’s home, he didn’t have a heart attack and he’ll be followed up by specialists. I know how tired all of you must be, but also how relieved you must be. Now you can all catch up on your sleep.
I feel I could sleep for a week, but the dog won;t let us! bless her
I’ll bet! Hopefully once you’ve let her out for her bedtime pee you can crash and sleep soundly.
oh yeah!
👍
Good news! I found with my dad I had to keep on top of the docs unfortunately. So many patients and stuff just slides. 😢
Our GP is useless. Those who are any good are leaving and it’s just getting worse. Still, in this respect Hubby is getting proper and professional care.
WOW! Wonderful that he’s home. What a relief for pair of you. I am so glas that things are settling. Let’s hope that you can have a good Christmas now. And Maggie too. I just hope that you can have a nice day in good ikd Smeggy tomorrow. Take care Di. Xxxx
Thanks Lorraine.
I’m glad he is home and the biggest worries are over 🙂
Thanks Trent. The big things have been eliminated and he has a nitro spray for the angina. I’m keeping a very close eye to make sure he doesn;t overdo things, but that’s like telling the sun not to rise sometimes!
Sounds like good news all the way around!
It’s a relief Kate. We both had a good night’s sleep, Maggie too, and have done a little bit of shopping today but nothing too hectic.
Perhaps there was a little treat for yourselves too?
I hold my hand up to gingerbread doughnuts today.
🙂
Good news about Hubby. Doctors, even good one, are given so little time to spend with each patient that it’s a miracle that anything gets done. Central government policy, I’m afraid. Essentially, we appear to be being set up for the expensive American companies to take over UK healthcare post Brexit… very sad.
Thanks Steve. Both of us have had excellent care from the emergency services recently and although my heart scare wasn’t a very good introduction to one hospital, they took wonderful care of Hubby getting to the bottom of his kidney problems.
I’m glad. That’s good to hear 😎
Glad he’s home. Have a lovely Christmas!
Thanks and you too!
Good news. Hope you guys have nice uneventful and relaxing week
Thanks Sadje.
Welcome dear
HOpe he heals quickly and gets the rest he needs.
Thank you. We all had a good night;s sleep last night and have had a quiet day today.
Great news that he is home and didn’t have a heart attack. Hoping they can find answers! Cute pics of Maggie, hope you both can get caught up on your sleep, hospitals definitely are not a great place to get sleep!
Good news on your bone density scan too.
Thanks. Good night all round, neither of us waking until almost 7am, not even the dog!
It’s been a good day today. 🙂
So glad to hear that! 🙂
So glad he is home and hope all gets better soon. God bless.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
