Random Irritations

Having a heart attack.

Had it yesterday. Luckily I got to the hospital quickly and they put a couple of stents in the blocked coronary artery.
It was a bit of a scare but I'm feeling much better now.

The Consultant is happy with my progress and there doesn't appear to be any significant damage.
More concerning is not knowing when I'll be back on the golf course.

You’d have been ok if you used modern clubs 😁

Hope all is going well and look forward to seeing you at Sunningdale 🏌️‍♂️

Nick, please don't think that I am trying to top you in any way, rather trying to reassure you.

In April 2001 I had major heart attack on the course. I was re-started twice, firstly in the ambulance and then in A&E at the LRI.

Early July that year I played three holes, then six and by late August it was nine holes twice a week. Back to full rounds by September that year.

The psychological difficulties are sometimes difficult to deal with and if you feel that a chat with a fellow survivor might help drop me a PM. I'm not that far away in Market Bosworth.

In any event get well soon.

Thanks all, it's amazing what they can do and makes you really appreciate how great the NHS is.

As a fellow recipient I can only agree. All the best with the recovery. If you get offered cardiac rehab classes take them, if there's anything that you want to discuss with a fellow sufferer then please feel free to PM me Nick.

Should have got to the bottom of the thread first before I posted. That is exactly the same kind offer that MM made me when I had mine.

Like you, I was told I'd escaped any significant damage. I was banned from golf for 4 weeks by "bad cop" of the cardiac rehab team, which I "negotiated" down to 3 weeks and 5 days (I'll explain over a pint when I see you, unless you feel you need to use the info earlier... ;) ), and was immediately let loose for the full 18. I was also told I couldn't fly for 4 weeks, which was good timing as it was 4 and a half weeks before the bucket list trip to the States. There's a few of us out there in your position & we're like a little family, if you need help just ask. All the best mate.

Cheers both, very encouraging, I expect I'll take you up on that kind offer so expect a PM when I'm out of hospital. 👍

Jeez, sorry to hear that, Crow.
Tell me, did they use vintage stents or did they go for the more modern perimeter weighted variety? :whistle:
Seriously, and I'm sure I speak for everyone on here, get well soon and do as the doctors suggest. (y)

Bloody hell Nick. Take really good care of yourself, and don’t rush back to the golf course.

There are too many lip readers waiting to cause trouble. As much as I agree that it is irritating, I can't really blame him.
