Near death experiences are not funny, honest.

My manager already knows Dad had a heart atttack, no worries there..

Tomorrow afternoon when I should know a little more, I plan to e-mail my
team and my manager then.

I already know I'm going to **** up a 2 day cusomer meeting, as I was
doing at least 50% of the presentations.. I ain't started them, and
won't be doing.. that was a job for over this weekend.

Anyhow.. it's time to nip to the bookshop for something to keep Dad
entertained, then on to the hospital.

 

Oy vay!

GWS, that _Ginge dad.

Scary, innit? I remember when my old man did that. Tough old bastard
had the attack at work, then drove home to tell mum he didn't feel
that good...

Ok, googled and found you've mentioned this before, but can't
find anything else. So, just wondering why you've been so
unfortunate, I assume it's an inherited problem or something?

Heart probs have always run in the paternal side of my family,
but then decided to turn female when my daughter was born with a
heart murmur. At age about seven she was given the all clear as
the rhythm had normalised by then. What worries me is the lack of
excercise she (and her generation) get. I'm 45 now and I've just
discovered I have elevated blood pressure. If comparative
lifestyle is anything to go by, daughter will be in the same
position as me before she's mid-30's

 

Mentioned? He never stops banging on about it. Most exciting thing
ever happened to him, bless his little Spiccy socks.

And there's his problem, right there. Spic, see. Small island. Shallow
gene pool. One bloke wivva dicky ticker three hundred years ago
manages to live long enough to shag his sister, now they've all got
it.

Sad, really.

Heart attacks per se ain't so bad these days. It is the number and
frequency which is the issue.

 

As I was saying...

 

Bear says...

I've come across that before when my ex-wife was studying for her
midwifery degree at the N+N hospital. I'm sure I've mentioned it here in
the past.

"Bloody kids, They don't have heart attacks like they did in my day"

 

Nigel Eaton says...

Heh...****. it's all true though

Kin right on. Now they were proper heart attacks those were and we used
to insist on our right to walk to the hospital and not catch a bus.

 

Don't forget that there's people not so near that will do anything
they can to help if required, too.

All the best to your folks, mate - and don't forget to look after
yourself 'cos you'll be useless if you don't.

 

He firmly believed it was indigestion.

Mum claims he's had a lot of that lately, he claims he's been fine.

Time for a doctor to play referee, I reckon.

 

NFI - Normal for Ilkeston, is often seen on medical records at the
Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham.. Ex mining community, full of
genetic freaks, so it is..

 

#don't worry be happy?

 

Bugger. I hope your dad recovers promptly. Take care, etc.

 

Thanks Pip, it's appreciated. I'll be ok, it's just a matter of putting
work straight on the fact that looking after the family is now my first
priority. I don't suspect that'll be a huge issue though, they've had
more than their pound of flesh out of me for months in a row.

Saw Dad earlier, he seems ok in himself.. Won't know for a few more days
if they're planning to keep him in a while, send him on to the heart
unit at Leicester, or try to introduce him back into the community....

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Salad Dodger

The old 'trapped wind' ploy.

He's a bloke, they all do that sir. Only if it is serious though. If
it is something simple like a cold you'd think the world was ending.

No need, your mum is clearly right.

I honestly don't know how people can say that. The pains I had were
nothing like a bit of gas I can tell you that for free.

If he follows the usual patterns for this sort of thing he will be
having some psychological lifestyle changes and stuff happening soon.
Now might be a good time to remind him that he can't take it with him
and does he need any help spending it?
