whitewave what a shock for you both. Glad to hear the NHS dealt with it so well. Wishing your DH a speedy recovery.

I'm so glad all that happened as it did, ww. Get some rest today, if you can! And please keep us posted

Superb service whitewave I think the hospital deserves to be named.
I sincerely hope your DH makes a speedy recovery and the stent keeps him healthy for many years.
for you.

So glad all is well whitewave

We are so lucky to have a brilliant NHS and must realise that we usually only hear the bad stories.

Fabulous news Whitewave- and brilliant NHS. Everything crossed for a prompt and excellent recovery. Take care of yourself too x

Just read your anxiety query and then saw this! So pleased your DH was well looked after and is now on the mend.

What a change to read about the fabulous care you both received. Makes you really appreciate our NHS.

to you both and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Yes praise the hospital and name it in your local paper or such. It sounds as though they looked after you both very well. I hope you are getting over the shock. Look after your self.

That is wonderful ww that is truly the NHS working at its best. I hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Years ago after I had been blue lighted to hospital, operated etc and home again, I wrote to the ambulance service because they were second to none and I discovered that they rarely receive letters of thanks.

When one is seriously ill and in need of the NHS, it is second to none.

Heavens - what a night! So good to hear that NHS came up trumps - what a relief.

Glad all went well, whitewave and your DH is in such good hands.

You'll be shattered today. Hope you manage to get some rest.

Yes WW I echo what everyone has said. The NHS is wonderful. We, too, had excellent help from them over NewYear. People usually gripe about the minor things like long waits in outpatients, and cancelled non-emergency ops which, though very frustrating, are not life-threatening. Your case was handled with the urgency it deserved and it's good that you are writing to thank the unit. I like to offer praise where it's due too. Stents are great and a wonderful discovery. You get some rest too, as this is a very draining time for you.

What a scare, whitewave; and what a successful outcome. Best wishes to your husband for a good recovery and hope you are now feeling relaxed and reassured.

What a frightening experience for you both! But aren't we all so lucky to have the NHS? Sounds as if they did an amazing job, not just helping your DH, but making sure you were constantly in the loop to alleviate your anxiety.
My very best wishes for your DH's speedy recovery. Please keep us posted whitewave

and oodles of good wishes to you both and a swift recovery for your DH.

So glad to hear that all went well with the stenting procedure. We were in a similar situation 10 years ago next month and I agree with you 100% about the fantastic care provided by the NHS in emergency situations. It's absolutely first class. Hope your DH is feeling much better today.

Been ordered to bed by DD so sat up in bed but still too much adrenaline rushing around for me to sleep so GN is providing with with some stuff to pass the time. Probably feel like poo after visiting this afternoon as hopefully will be more relaxed.

Have you phoned the ward this morning? Might help you to unwind a little if you have an update.

What a night! It is heartening to hear about the NHS functioning at its very best. I hope your DH makes a speedy and full recovery, Whitewave.

How wonderful to receive such service when you need it. Best wishes to you both.

Whitewave, best wishes to you and DH after the drama and wonderful care that he received from our NHS. This happened to me in 2012. I was on my way to my exercise class, and had just got off the bus. I felt as though an elephant was standing on my chest, so made my way to the Dr's surgery. When I told them how I felt, they swiftly took over and within a very short time I was with the paramedics on my way to hospital. I had a stent put in the next day, and have been fine since. I wrote a thank you letter to our Dr's surgery, and received a lovely note back, to say that it was nice to be thanked, as not everyone does this. Hope all goes well with Mr W and his recovery, and that you are OK

Bravo to the NHS yet again and my best wishes to you and DH after such a scary night, take care of yourself too Whitewave.

to you both WW and best wishes for a speedy recovery for your DH. Just don't forget to look after you as you will indeed feel p** when the adrenalin fades.

OMG! Only just read this! Your poor DH, and what a nightmare for you! Glad it was handled so well and efficiently! Marvellous to hear that.

for you both, and very best wishes.
