Hi all, its been a week since I was admitted and to be honest not a lot has happened nor have any firm decisions been made regarding my health.
My heart has been slowed down, sped up. My blood has been thinned then thickened. I have been given tablets for lunch, dinner and tea and to be really honest I am sick to death of it.
The Atrial Fibrillation is the favourite however after having an Ultrasound more concerns have been raised in that I may have had a heart attack or attacks in the past. To have this confirmed I am having to go to Calgary for a Angiogram which basically means a thin tube will be inserted into my thigh and then fed up through the blood vessels and into my heart. Once there a dye will be flooded into the heart which allows for high quality pictures to be taken and then assessed by the Doctors. This was all meant to happen on Friday gone but never did so the earliest date now will be Monday providing transport can be arranged.
Once again, thanks for the visits and get well wishes. Personally I feel great, no different than I did before I was admitted or this time last year even, but obviously there is something wrong.

Thanks Phil. I'm happy now that I understand my role in the proceedings. I have to sit quietly, with my head in my hands, handing out cheques like they were going out of fashion, then just turn up on the day looking reasonably smart. Job's a good un.

Hope they release you soon on compassionate grounds lol. Tell them you will take the high quality pictures of your heart, edit them and then post them on here and they can post a comment with the diagnosis lol, get well soon mate.
Hi Phil,
A cautionary tale.
Please do not rush back to work before you are ready. A friend of mine did afew years ago. He got as far as Gieselwind in Germany, went to the showers & had a heart attack. He died at 52. His name was John Williams, from "Destination Doha" the program about the Middle East put out by the world about us on BBC2.
We lost a great driver & mechanic well before his time. Problem was pressure of work....
Look after yourself.
Good Luck phil were all thinking off you mate

Hi all, thanks again for the comments and the get well wishes. I have no plans in rushing back to work, thats the last thing on my mind. Still waiting for news of my trip to Calgary, once that is out of the way I will have a better idea of how long I will be off the road.
Thanks again, Phil
