Olly Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Glad he's feeling ok, hope he's soon home again. Those TVs are a rip-off, in my view - very expensive and unreliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Glad to hear they seem to be getting to the bottom of things and OH is feeling a bit better . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks Olly and ANH He's booked in to have the angiogram sometime tomorrow. He's signed the consent form for angioplasty and open heart surgery as well. No idea what happens if he does have the WPW syndrome just assuming they would sort that out there and then. It's all rather vague as I couldn't find a doctor to speak to and DH was getting cross with me The Vic does have an excellent rep for the cardio side though.

beach chick Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Anne I hope all goes well and you get the right answers you both need. he is bound to be cross and hacked off being hospital, but he does have to stay there and "be good" til it's sorted. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Marple Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Sorry to read this. FIngers crossed for you. Be calm but insist that you would like to speak to his consultant. They are not royalty no matter what they make like to make out (some of them - anyway). I 'll keep my fingers crossed that you get some action very soon as we are now going away for a few days so I can't check in easily. All the best to you and your DHxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks Terri. DH doesn't want me ringing anyone up though and visiting isn't until 2pm and I've a car that needs MOTIng and that's booked in for 3 . Am trying to change that though.

Ms Marple Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 What about ringing the ward and asking for the sister and then requesting the time of the ward round? Long weekends are always dire as nothing ever gets done except emergencies. Is DH direct and good at asking his questions? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Spoke to DH again and I've told him he's GOT to ask when he's definately being done. The consultant or doctor is coming to see him today but they don't know when. Hoping he will be direct as he's so hacked off. Oh, and it's his 46th birthday tomorrow so if it's done then what a present for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadietoo Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just caught up with this thread. Hopefully OH got an answer today. Over the last few years my darling father suffered increasingly poor health, and it did seem like an uphill battle, not with the doctors and consultants but with the nurses and day to day care (sorry and I really don't want to offend, but if you make nursing a degree course then you need a lot of less qualified people who are prepared to do day to day stuff. And I really really don't want to offend anyone, but in my day you needed 5 O levels to be an SRN and less to be an SEN....but people took up nursing because they cared...I having worked in solicitors offices and seen a lot of people at the end of their lives, so I'm just going to say, we need more indians and less chiefs...). I really hope you get a resolution... we have some superb treatment available under the NHS...you need to be persistant to benefit from it.

chickencam Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I hope that you get some answers by tomorrow and that his birthday is as good as can be expected. He needs to be like the queen this year and have an extra special birthday later as well as his official one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks again everyone. Feel awful as I forgot to come on last night and say it's now scheduled for Friday He found out just before tea. When I went to visit last night I spoke to the ward sister and she showed me where it's written down for then as well. DH is under strict orders to triple check today and let me know if it's altered.

abwsco Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks Kate and BC Back from visting him twice today and have checked again and he's still in the ward book for being done on Friday. Have told DH yet again he has to KEEP ASKING and if it's changed he's to tell me straight away. BC, I'm also of the opinion that if they were really worried he'd have been done before as someone who came in after him was done yesterday.

abwsco Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Talk about a roller coaster. DH told he was still being done tomorrow then after he came out from his shower told he was being done this afternoon. Just grabbing some lunch then going up to see him for two unless he's in before. Would appreciate lots of fingers crossed please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have everything crossed for your both, I am sure he'll be fine. It's probably good that he's being "done" earlier, that will get it out of the way and then hopefully you can all move on? Keep us posted, good luck!!!
