More News

Well, I am travelling South this weekend. My mum had a heart attack on Monday, and a stent inserted today. She suddenly sounds old, and it's a bit scary, even though she's only 71 years old. But, she's always been a healthy person, with get up and go, and she's often gone - on walking holidays, gardening holidays, off to Italy or Spain. I just heard my brother relating to an aunt, that he'd queried a dent in the ceiling above mum's stairs. 'Oh, that,' she says 'that's when I was moving a wardrobe up to my bedroom.'

I don't think she'll be doing that for a while.

A friend of mine had a stent done recently, and she's so much better than she was before.
(Hurrah for stubborn old farts!!)

71? A spring chicken! Hope she is feeling better.

Hi Roobeedoo, thanks for your comment. Four weeks later and she is learning to take it a bit easier, though she won't drive for another couple of weeks, until she's seen the doc again. So, Milton Keynes is safe for a short while from her driving!
