I have had a feeling of impending doom since the new bike,
So out today taking it easy and had a heart attack .now in Heartlands stent fitted and being referred for a bit of open heart. Bugger, managed over 40mph on A435 as well

Well, looking at it from the glass half full perspective, you're here to tell the tale, thankfully. GWS. My mum was in intensive care Heartlands last year and was very well looked after. I'm sure you will be too. Keep us posted.

Ouch GWS.

But as AWL says, at least you are around to tell the tale.

Maybe 40mph was pushing a bit hard

Yes they are just what the doctor ordered,
Bit low as my wife has her birthday tomorrow,

No just a big hill towards Redditch!

Ah, that hill! I undertook a Morris Minor on that hill once.

Best wishes, matey.
Don't worry, you're in good hands. There is life (and riding) after heart surgery. I'm living proof.

Is that Heartlands, Brum?

Glad to hear you are still with us!

At least I now know that tight bib short shoulder straps weren't the cause.
I wish I had details of the delivery driver who took me and bike home without a second thought. Van had something like digital media on the side.

Get Well Soon!
Take it easy!

Sorry to hear about the heart, I hear Heartlands is a fantastic hospital and it sounds like you're getting the best care. Look after yourself and don't be afraid to ask for people to do nice things for you over the next few months of recovery.

trickletreat · « **Reply #12 on:** 09 July, 2013, 10:59:17 pm »

Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts. I was thinking what my next goal would be, and hey presto I think I know. I'm okay but it must be horrible for family and loved ones.

Eep! GWS...

Bledlow · « **Reply #15 on:** 09 July, 2013, 11:34:13 pm »

Ouch! But 1, (& most importantly) you're able to tell us, 2, at least you did it in style, & 3, you couldn't be in a better named hospital for cardiac care.
