scoobyspud Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Not been around for a while cos I had a heart attack late Thursday night( about 10:30)Have just got back in after spending the last 5 days in Kings Mill Hospital.Had an angiogram yesterday morning and the prognosis is very positive.there are 3 arteries feeding the heart muscle and 2 of them including the main artery that does two thirds of the work are completely clear and perfect in the words of the lady doing the op.The 3rd artery has a small narrowing and that can be controlled with anti-cholesterol drugs and aspirin.The downside is I can't drive for the next 4 weeks which stuffs up getting the car serviced.

padgo Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Glad you are on the mend, it's strange, you are about the 3 person I know who have had heart attacks in the last year, but saying that, all 3 now are all given a clean bill of health and are back at work.If you need any help with taking your car for servicing etc, I am only down the road.All the best and yes, take it easy.John..

scoobyspud Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thankyou for your thoughts and offers The thing is now I have no idea where to take the scoob for its service and mot. My brain is just addled at the moment. Whoever comes to take the car would have to be the person making the appointment as there would be no point in me making the booking and finding out that there is no-one available to take the car.

scoobyspud Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Bloody hell. Well as said at least its positive news and your on the bend. Car can come later, health is more important.If its any conciliation to making you feel better, I broke my toe last night No consolation at all.If it was doing something silly, then it would make me laugh. If it was an unfortunate situation, then you have my utmost sympathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyswagon Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Steve, hope you are feeling better mate. we could service it for you when you are better if you wanted and I can also get it mot'd too. We're about 2 mins away from where I used to work, I reckon you might know where that was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyspud Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Well, it's been 4 weeks since the heart attack and I can go back to driving tomorrow.Have a walk test at the hospital next Wednesday to do which I think involves walking as far as I can in 6 minutes, then a rest and do it again.My boss has sent me an e-mail asking what my likely return to work date will be as he needs to sort out cover, so what he's saying is as soon as you're back to work then you're on your own as the lad doing the covering will be back on days doing his own shifts.I've told him that the cardiac rehabilitation nurse says the average return to work is 2 to 3 months.
