Your grandfather is in my thoughts, Claire. Hope everything turns out a-okay.

You and your family will be in our thoughts. Dear FiL was rushed into hospital last year with heart failure (and he has had a pacemaker fitted) and we were so glad that he was able to be with us for christmas. Wishing you all the best of care and lots of pixie dust.

ok heres what I know so far. Grandad did indeed have another heart attack on monday night.he is on a monitor and being given oxygen. he has also had one of his medications removed that was causing him so much stomach irritation. the specialist came to see him on tuesday morning and decided that his scheduled pacemaker surgery will be brought forward to friday and he will be transferred to harefield for this. the problem is they have found a urine infection which unless is brought under control first makes surgery impossible as this can spread to the heart. Plan now is to play the waiting game to see if the infection can be controlled and then surgery to follow. i know they are very worried about putting him under a general anesthetic. he is in good spirits apparently and is eating ok and feeling well.
I will be going to see him this evening. i wanted to see him last night but as most of you know i am on my own and the children's father makes it very difficult for me at the best of times, so he decided sleeping after work was much more important yesterday he has agreed to come and watch them later at least.
Thankyou for all your posts, they really do help and I'll keep you informed. I'm just about to update the quiz and apologise for the delays on it so far, but as you can see now I have had other things on my mind. he has been deteriorating for a little while and i always seem to be running errands or something, anyway will try and keep on top of it.

Claire ~ My thoughts are still with you and your family. Hopefully your grandad's surgery can go ahead on Friday

Don't worry about the quiz, real life sometimes needs to take priority over the Dis. I'm not participating in the quiz, so if you need some help or any questions posted, please don't hesitate to let me know.

I hope they get the infection under control so the operation can go ahead. Don't worry about the quiz we all understand.
