White rabbits!

I am glad it is finally November as I've been waiting for an operation to give me a new lease of life (I hope). I've been given a pre-op clinic date of 5th Nov (at Scunthorpe Hospital) and a provisional (subject to change) date for my op. of 15th Nov which is a fortnight today. I have managed to organise NHS transport as I won't be able to drive for a while afterwards.

Two nights ago the chest pain was so bad I couldn't sleep. I considered ringing 999 and envisioned being carted off in an ambulance to Grimsby then Hull and having my chest ripped open, and just as quickly dismissed the thought. I'll wait for the organised stent-fitting and hopefully have a fully-functioning again with little recovery time.

I'm joining the NaJoPoMo 2012 because it's an incentive to still be here in December. I will NOT flood my friends' convos though, there will be just one journal from me which I will update daily. Just the title will change, and of course I want my friends to reply

Here's to a great Novemberand an even better December to come


Annie aka GB

Will be watching and reading and sending healing vibes as appropriate!

Good luck for that Annie. You'll be feeling much better after that procedure. If there's no other damage/issues they see when its done you'll be feeling great in a matter of days. You'll have to take it easy again for a week or so as there'll be another Collagen Plug in your artery, no bending or lifting.

Good to hear you've got that date, GB

I hope everything goes well, I'll be watching with interest.

Take care GB! My thoughts are with you as always

My best wishes go with you, GB.

Best wishes. Good idea to keep us updated.

Hope all goes smoothly for you. Anticipation is usually worse than the actual experience, so best wishes for the waiting time.

and

Thinking of you.

Best wishes GB. with everything. Be well in your newly rennovated house.

"an incentive to still be here in December"

AND ONWARDS


you'll get your bloody ears boxed otherwise

Thinking of you. Especially on Monday.

We're all rooting for you GB! I hope you're fully recovered in the fastest time possible, but please take it easy while waiting for the procedure and during recovery.

I am sure that writing about this, during the month will make a fascinating journal, for all those who have had anything to do with heart problems.

lots of love

Thank you for your support everyone, I really do appreciate it.

I had a better night - only up once for the loo but then needed a dose of the GTN spray to enable me to go back to sleep.

The first thing I saw when I opened my curtains was the waning moon in the pre-dawn sky, always a welcome sight, old friend.

I've just renewed my Astronomy magazine subscription for another year, there's faith for you

Yesterday I had 3 men here, doing things to my roof. My neighbour had told me I had some tiles loose so I called in the experts with the object of doing some repair work before it deteriorates to the point of leaking into my home and/or requiring a brand new roof They'll be here soon for more shinnying up ladders and drinking and hopefully finish today. It's costing all I have but money well spent. At least I have a roof over my head, which I am always grateful for.

Have a good day peeps

Glad you had a better night
