I'm going into hospital for the day on Monday 10th, for what I hope is the final bout of heart surgery and I need a hug!!!

The operation is an ablation, to remove extra electrical impulses in the heart that causes it to beat irregularly, speed up for no reason or just generally bugger about. It causes all sorts of things from dizzy spells, fainting, lack of oxygen, chest pains and risk of stroke.

It's a common procedure, nothing dramatic about it, no cracking open the chest or waving little electric paddles about, but it's still a big deal to me..... It's done under local anaesthetic, the points of entry are the femoral veins, and they are using both.... Last time it was just one, and that bruised spectacularly. Two should be ... interesting!

All being well, I shall be home on Monday afternoon/evening and probably compost mentis by Tuesday.

My advice would be to listen to Bob Marleys Greatest Hits that is sure to make your heart beat strong. Whatever you do; don't listen to those depressing folk songs they'll make you think you can do the surgery yourself and avoid the clutches of the man in the white coat who is in league with the halls of darkness.

So Lively Up Yourself! and stay well.

Seamus....... bearing in mind a) that this is a family site; b) where the incisions are going to be; and c) the size of my fat arse (old joke) .... pictures of the stitches will be by private viewing and appointment only!

To put the record straight, I was diagnosed long before Tony Bleugh had his little episode - he got diagnosed, admitted and treated in 9 hours what took me 9 months to get discovered, let alone diagnosed! And he says he had it done on the NHS...... yeah, not in MY borough!

It may be dicky, irregular and possibly worn out, but it is very full... thank you.

Oh, boy -- I want Teresa to teach me how to hug like that.

You were making a joke, right? Compost/compos? I have often noted how mentally competent most of the folks who post on MudCat are.   It's difficult to believe that such an obviously good heart can have something out of kilter.

About 30 yrs ago hubby was injured in a church league softball game. Turned out his broken rib had punctured his spleen and he bled (an internal slow leak) all night. He was in a bad way. Off to the emergency room, an emergency laparotomy, serious repair/spleen removal, stitch-up. He'd lost about 4fifths of his blood! and almost died. When he came home after a week recuperating in the hospital, folks at church brought all sorts of casseroles, etc.-- including one woman's famous, much-loved spaghetti sauce and a bottle of red wine. I called the surgeon to see if it was safe to let Hubby drink the wine ('cuz he was taking various meds). The surgeon was emphatic with his YES -- but I had to get lots of cheese into Hubby, as well. Seems some chemical interaction with the wine&cheese would BUILD his blood. Use it if it helps.      Tw

It's better than tossing your cookies Manitas, give her our love when you see her, I expect she'll be feeling a big delicate too. So look after her, OR ELSE ;~)

Hey Liz! Sending as many healing hugs as I can get my hands on this morning. Sure, you'll be up and running real soon -- but, watch out that you don't stub your toe -- I have it on good authority that while you were out, the furniture got moved about somehow ;-)

Take care and be as right as rain real soon ;-)

All the best, Áine

Can't be squeaky clean just yet.. no baths for 2 days and I can't reach those bits with the shower!

Apparently it was a success, I ain't dead and they got the bits they wanted.

I'm off the medication so hopefully can lose the stone I put on with them by March. I'm very sore and twitchy (had to lie dead still for 2 hours on the table and another 2.5 hours afterwards), but so far all is OK.

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts, prayers, &@$! reducing candles and everything else. I will give further reports on the bruising when it comes out.

Well something works, I lost 4lbs already! I suspect it was the not eating for 14 hours and the gallon of water I drank! I did ask the surgeon if he would do some liposuction whilst he was down there, but he said he didn't have a big enough tube.....

Thank you everyone.

I'm doing OK. Sorry to disappoint but bruising was minimal so no lurid pictures of purple limbs....

Having a little trouble with circulation in one leg so I suspect the bruising is internal but otherwise, I'm actually feeling energetic for the first time in a very long while! It will be a week or so more before I know if it's worked properly, I'll not faint next time I run up the stairs!

Thanks everyone for you kind messages and thoughts.

Hey Liz,

Glad to hear you mending well. Be sure and check soon with the doc about that circulation problem, OK? And don't worry about running up the stairs - slow and easy gets you there just the same. ;-)

Keep feeling better, Áine

Blackwalnut - you were there!! I downloaded you onto my MP3 player and whilst I was lying flat on my back for 2 hours after it, I was listening in and wiggling my feet in time!

Well here is an update... this evening, for the first time in about a year, I gave Limpit a piggyback up the stairs... bear in mind that 6 weeks ago I was panting for breath just getting myself up the stairs!

Apart from a twinge in the upper, leg area, I was fine!

And BW ~ it was 'Chatter with the Angels'!
