I am sitting by my husband’s bedside in hospital as he has had a heart attack. Next 24 hours are critical.

That is so bad Cabbie that his reviews are long overdue. Disgraceful.
I am remembering your husband in my prayers.

Thank you. There was a big gap with Covid, but normally he has an annual review( it is now 14 months) but what can they really uncover in a ten minute chat plus a few basic blood tests?

Good to hear that you OH is making progress. Hope the reviews help to stabilise his conditions.
Keep on looking after yourself too.

Thank you. He Continues to improve slowly.

I’m so pleased. In my prayers, if you don’t mind.

I'm pleased he's starting to make progress, Cabbie.
At least all the necessary checks will be carried out now 🤞

Just checking in to ask how it's going Cabbie?
Hope you are keeping warm and well.

Thank you for asking, lixy. He is still seriously ill, but is awake and alert and very grateful to the excellent staff. There have been ups and downs this week, including very low BP, then a very fast heart beat, but the staff have been very responsive. He is now on four drips into a central line, and oxygen. The consultant is happy with his progress thankfully, but it is too early for a prognosis.
It was kind of you to enquire.

Just to add, I have visited every day for a couple of hours, but have also managed to go to my choirs this week, which keeps me grounded. My daughter invited me for tea tonight which was a nice change.

Thanks for the update Cabbie
I hope he continues to make good progress.

Thanks for the update Cabbie. I keep an eye open for news. I’m glad the consultant is happy with his progress and that you’re able to go to your choirs. They must take your mind off things for a little while.

That’s all sounding more positive, Cabbie, even if they’re still a long way to go. I’m glad you’re looking after yourself, too. flowers
