So long as you're one of those that comes back, that's fine!

GORDON STREETER · 14 Jan 2015, 11:47 (Ref:3492722)

I'll probably be late for my own when it comes to it, I'm taking the Brewery boss with me and the "refreshments" are already in place so it should be a good send off !

Yep always seems to be this time of year . Mind you sad as it is I prefure going to funerals more than blooming weddings

GORDON STREETER · 14 Jan 2015, 11:54 (Ref:3492728)

We all know when you get to a certain age you go to more funerals than weddings, I would rather have stopped in Spain.

Dan Rear · 14 Jan 2015, 13:58 (Ref:3492753)

Nah, chaps. Weddings are great, esp in summer. Plenty to eat and drink, plenty to look at, even a chance of a late night dance or 2

Anyone heard from uncle Eric .

Eric Falce · 14 Jan 2015, 15:38 (Ref:3492770)

Uncle Eric is still with us thanks Ian, just successfully unseized the engine on an 1934 Austin 7 one of my neighbours bought. Got it running he then informs me he's sold it on.
Go in Monday for an angiogram, then got to see what they are going to do.

Alan Raine · 14 Jan 2015, 15:45 (Ref:3492777)

My mother in Law is late for everything. No matter what she's always 15 minutes behind everybody else. My wife was 15 minutes late for our wedding as her mother couldn't find her handbag. She's now 93 and in the late stages of Dementia, 6 weeks ago she was admitted to hospital with double Pneumonia and given at the most 24 hours to live. She obviously didn't read the script as today she was transferred to a Nursing Home.

We always said she'd be late for her own funeral

GORDON STREETER · 14 Jan 2015, 19:06 (Ref:3492827)

Just back from the "send off" absolutely packed church and village hall afterwards.
Many tales about him (that could be told) as he was the life and soul of any party and could cheer anyone up, he will defiantly be missed !!!!!
Best of luck next week Eric

Eric, like so many procedures in hospital, one's perceptions about them are far worse than the reality. I have had 4, I think it is now, angiograms over the last 5 years as well as an angioplasty to install stents and also other cardiac interventions. None of them were anything as bad as my mind imagined they would be.

They eventually diagnosed my problem as refractory angina, which basically means that with what is available at this time, there is nothing more that they can do by adding to my medication or by any further cardiac interventions. However, I the consultant still wants to monitor my progress every three to four months, and assures me that as new techniques become available, I will be considered for further treatment, which is reassuring.

Last year my local hospital started an angina sufferers "club", part of which included a series of round-table discussions with other long-term patients. It was only at the first meeting that the practice sister who ran the sessions casually said that angina doesn't kill you, which was news to all us patients because our GPs and consultants had never told us this fact. In simple terms, an angina attack is merely the body's internal warning system telling you to take it easy until your heart catches up to what you are doing.

The psychological effect on us was amazing, because it was like removing a weight from one's shoulders, and this was borne out by the last results of my regular blood tests which are all improved vastly.

Anyway, good luck for Monday, and if things go the same way as for me, you will end up lying on back for half an hour or so having a good chat with the consultant will he carries out the proceedure.

Apart from tired knees, bone graft in left ankle from an old rugby injury, recurring back problems from the same, soft spot in the head from a mtb accident, a short term memory defect which makes me forget passwords from everything from access to this forum to my bank account and a complete inability to drive even a simple historic race car competitively ( oh and a total invisibility from any members of the opposite sex at any age under 85 apart from my lovely wife who lies beautifully) I am delighted to report I am in tip top health.

Nick JM · 16 Jan 2015, 00:08 (Ref:3493188)

Ps Eric if you are due for an op or "surveillance" all the very best

zefarelly · 16 Jan 2015, 07:21 (Ref:3493228)
