So glad to hear that help was immediately available and you are on the road to a quick recovery.

Looks better than the food I got during my hospital stay last month.    
 
sorry to hear about the heart issue, but glad you are getting it taken care of and on the road to recovery.   

Get well @Peaksy68!! Glad you are doing well! 🙏

Wow, what a scare! Glad everything went as well as it could for you though and also that you're in good humor still! Enjoy the epically bland food! 😆

Crazy, glad you are doing better and were in the right place at the time.  Get better soon!

I see hospital food is the same on both sides of the Pacific. Or Atlantic. Or...

Glad to you made it out on the other side and glad to see you kept your sense of humor. Hard to have a laugh after an experience like that. 

Man, that is SCARY. Glad you are on the mend and keeping such a positive outlook. Good luck!!

Thank goodness for knowledgeable and fast reactions! Glad you are still around!! 

About the same thing happened to me on Jan 3.  Got two stents in the right coronary artery then two weeks later got two more stents in the left artery.  In cardiac rehab twice a week… that’s fun {sarcasm} but started playing golf again less than a week after the second procedure.  Hang in there!!

Turned up at work this morning a few minutes before my scheduled start time of 9.30, only my third shift working here. 
Straight forward start, supervised a student doing a chest Xray. 
 
That’s when things went a bit off script.
Felt some discomfort in my chest, not too bad but definitely not great. After a couple of minutes I called out to the student for some help. By this stage the pain in my chest was crushing and I had gone sweaty and clammy.
He called an ambulance and the nurse and radiologist I was working with started obs and gave me some GTN spray.
Paramedic arrived, bluetoothed ECG to Cardiologist at the local hospital (where I worked for 19 years until last January) Heard the following discussion “S-T elevation “ and knew I was off to the Cardiac Catheter Lab.
1/2 an hour later I was on the table in the lab. Another 1/2 hour and I had a stent in my previously occluded right coronary artery. 
 
2 more stenoses were picked up that need stents, but they are waiting for my heart to have rest before going back in on Monday or Tuesday.
Echo cardiogram showed all is looking good.
24 hours of total bed rest now
So thankful for all the staff (at both places and paramedics) and the technology that is available 
Also thankful that the health care system in Australia means I don’t have to worry about any expenses.
 
Hoping to get back on the course in the next couple of weeks 

Heart attack didn’t kill me but hospital food might😂😂

Thanks mate, appreciate it. The food situation is made even worse by the fact I was supposed to be going to a seriously good restaurant tomorrow for anniversary dinner😢
