From Anne


After hours of waiting, Kevin had the angiogram. It showed that he has some clogged arteries and is going to need bypass surgery. Tonight he's been moved (after more than three weeks in a general ward) to the cardiac ward, where to his delight he has a private room with his own bathroom.

I don't know how long he'll remain here, because the intention is that he should have surgery at the cardiac centre for this area, which is in Basildon. We're glad that things have started to move, though it's good that he's had time to get stronger before having an operation.

We hope to speak to his doctor tomorrow to find out in more detail what is wrong and what the surgery will involve.

Kevin would be glad to hear from anyone who's had bypass surgery.
