Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

Sorry.

Are you okay?

No, no, that's all right.

It's good.

It's good to be able to talk to you.

Yeah, I'm just.

I'm in bed because I'm knackered first, I'm awake, if that makes sense.

Yeah.

Are you?

Sorry enough.

Yeah.

Yeah,

I had a funny day.

Yeah, I just thought I should tell you about it.

Right.

Uh, nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about at all, really, I think.

Okay, no, tell me.

It's granddaddy's had another heart attack.

Oh, okay.

But he's okay.

He's not in any danger.

he's in the hospital.

Right, okay.

And he's fine, but it was a bit worrying for a while.

Um, but, uh.

Sheffield this time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Northern General.

Okay.

Uh, he's fine.

It went back a few days.

Wow.

But he, uh, he came to me last, uh, Tuesday.

Yeah.

And he said,

Have you got time tomorrow evening to take me to the hospital?

I've been having these chest pains and I can't get anywhere with the GP.

And I said, Well, why tomorrow?

Why not now?

I mean, chess players you can just see what, especially in your history.

Yeah.

It's called 999, isn't it?

You don't take any risks.

I think that's a very big lesson.

Yeah.

So we went that evening.

We negotiated it down to the evening.

Right.

Uh, last Tuesday.

Right.

Um, at 9 p.m..

And there was 100 and 175 people in Ernie waiting to this thing.

Oh my goodness.

So he

Got priority because he had chest pain.

Chest pain and he had a heart attack.

Yeah, but then the priority was just for three.

triage.

Right.

Yes.

Signs were on normal, so.

Right.

Right.

And then when he did get, so he had ACG, cereal, EPGs, and buttons.

And uh, troponin, words phrased, showing damage to the heart or excess.

Protein is for showing something is not quite right with the heart.

Right.

Right.

And he had about four ECGs and the second one of four was abnormal or not.

Right.

Conclusive of a heart attack.

Right.

So they actually kept him for two nights.

Right, okay.

Well, his pain was much worse after he'd eaten.

So I was just stresses of, like, gold stones or something like that.

Something like that as well.

yeah.

Yeah, so I've been there with him for ages and then at the end of discharged him, but I wasn't there when he was actually discharged.

He didn't want to tell me, explain it all properly.

Right.

I don't think he followed it.

Gloria is within one time.

I don't think.

I mean, she understood, but I didn't get it clearly from them, like, Oh, there's nothing wrong with your heart.

Right.

Go home, ring your GP.

And, um,

Yeah.

Uh,

Arranged to have a look at your stomach because it's like after you're eating.

Right.

And also, but the thing is it did also increases heart medicine dosage.

from 5 to 6 milligrams on something.

And I've not seen the discharge lettering until today.

It did sound, uh, he's got like angina.

So he was having angina.

Right.

Pam.

Okay, yes.

But they weren't doing anything with that.

They were just, they'd increased his medicine.

And they were more worried about having him see the GP about his stomach.

Stomach, right, okay.

So he's got an under the tongue thing.

Well, he has one all the time.

He's always had one.

He never had to use it ever.

Right, okay.

Yeah.

And when you, got home, I took him home on Friday, I think.

Right.

Friday.

And he was, someone had broken his car window, one of the old, who lived there.

Must have smashed Ed Brock in his car wings, no.

Cracked it, hit him three times with a hammer.

But they've been upset about where he parked it.

Um, you know what they're like there.

Yeah, horrible.

Probably, yeah.

It's kind of the three strikes on the windscreen.

So I had to get that sorted out with the insurance and everything.

And the man was meant to be coming today.

between 11 and 3 to replace it.

Yeah.

And he phoned me 11 to ask me where is the guy?

I didn't know anything about it because it's all on my, you know my phone.

Yeah.

I said, you don't sell the well.

It's just my chest it's really hurting again.

I said, well, we have to do something about that.

And I was at home, so I went, I was back at home at lunchtime.

So I went over to him and I saw he was in so much pain.

He, was just sitting on the bed.

I called 999.

And they told me on the phone to spray him under the tongue with this spray.

Yes.

Give him some aspirin.

And then, uh, I'm going to stuck about half an hour and they came and hooked him up and all, and I could tell straight away, they're looking at each other and I said, What is it?

Okay, everyone, we need to panic.

Okay, relax.

You must be calm.

You must be calm, but the signing signs on the ECG suggest you're having a heart attack.

Am I?

Oh, gosh.

Yeah.

And then it was all.

panicked and they were just straight away on it.

Like, no, he wasn't, he was laughing, but they're like, Oh, okay.

He, no, he starts about 13 years ago in Castle Hill Hospital in Hall, they were sort of done three stents, but they only did two because they were in a rush.

And I knew this would happen, you know.

And it's even written in his discharge letter from the other day about his history.

They had two stents put in in 2023, but he felt they, sorry, 2017.

But he felt they should have had three, but the doctor was in a rush and they put it in quotation marks, like on the notes, like,

Anyway, they were on it, lie down, put lines in him, shaved his chest to put pads on in case they had to shock him.

Um, yeah.

Everything.

Um, and then this lady kept knocking on the door.

Yeah, because they wouldn't have called an image because he said don't.

No.

I don't blame him because they were, they've been told.

He was under the impression.

He seemed to have been told.

not in any danger with his heart and follow it up in a few weeks or months.

Yeah.

Um, and then this woman came knocking on the door.

Uh, is it gonna, are you gonna belong with the ambulance outside?

because they'll just stop outside the flat.

They don't park.

Nearly somewhere.

And I said, I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

We're in the middle of something here and I just shut the door.

And then she knocked a few minutes.

And I take again, I said, Is it really, is it like an emergency?

And I said, The clue's written on the side of the ambulance, emergency ambulance.

And I just foot the door again.

And then

They were on the phone with the hospital and they were injecting him with stuff and all that.

And then the door, someone knocked on the door again and the paramedic went to the door and he said, Listen, piss off.

I slammed the door in the face.

Yeah.

Because if I'd not been there and called I mean, I still wouldn't have done it until it could have been.

Because he really thought it's to do with his eating and he was after was eager.

His stomach gets hot and it was really painful, but.

Right, okay, yeah.

Uh, so they, uh.

His body's a mess as well, isn't it?

It's like.

No, he's a lot healthier than he's.

they've got very good routine with Gloria, these boiled vegetables and noodles and fish and stuff and it's by routine and it's all good.

Okay.

It's really good.

Stuff.

Then they thrown through to the hospital and the paramedic said, in a way it's lucky that they can see the clear pattern of a heart attack of an MI on the ECG printer because sometimes you don't know, it could be a computer so you need to go to A and E and then you go to school, but there was an extremely clear thing.

So they sent a picture of it to the cardiology, Right.

Because you get to bypass.

Yeah, exactly.

And they arranged it.

So they put him in the back and spend another five minutes in the back of the ambulance to give him some more things.

because it was really hurting that much.

Yeah.

And then she said just, I said, Where do I go when we get there?

I said, follow me and you'll see there's an ambulance there and you can just stop in there for ten minutes behind behind us.

While you're going to see where he's going and everything.

And so I set off and then we got to the main road and put the lights and sirens on them.

It absolutely flew.

Hard to.

And they had no chance.

Back through Sheffield, yeah.

No, no.

When I got there, he'd already gone into the castle and then the nurse and Gloria explained it, so they were waiting.

When he got there, the doctors came out to the ambulance, said they did on the ECG with their equipment, they gave him some more injections, and then they wheeled him straight to the cath lab within about a minute.

And I think they got to the hospital in about eight minutes, so from door to to surgery.

He was less than 50 minutes of leaving his flat.

He was in theater.

Right, okay.

Which was how urgently they were treating it.

Right, so what we have done then.

So they told us in an hour to an hour and a half, we'll come and talk to you and let you know how it's going.

Right.

Yeah.

But then after three hours, there was still nothing.

And I still don't know why, but we were panicking.

I'm panicking.

And they were like, oh, don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Sometimes the news is good news.

Maybe they're fixing it all, but nothing for three and a bit hours.

That's, I know.

But but then the society's been right.

You were down for surgery.

It was like that.

You were hours.

Yeah.

And you don't know anything.

You can't find out. know what's happening.

I know.

Yeah, because mine went wrong and it was more complex.

And I thought well, the worst case at least is they have to open them up, they'll do it.

They're.

Yes.

Yeah.

But they didn't.

So then they're like, because it's, you know, like, sadly when we were, went to seeing that, and she was in cardiac intensive care.

Yeah.

For whatever is the shame.

It was like he was going to be brought into that.

We were in the waiting area with all these people crying and all panicking and stressed.

He said, that's stuff.

Yeah.

And then the nurse, I asked twice.

Well, there's no news yet.

There's no news yet.

They're just busy working on him.

And then she said, No, he's in, um, things come soon now.

You can come in.

and she doesn't. recovery.

And he sat at night.

No, he was out of recovery.

He just didn't report anything.

He was in the cardiac intensive care.

And he was sat up and laughing and asking for phone and he was absolutely fine.

And, you know, before he went, he looked very pale and sweaty and clamming, and, you know, he was having a heart attack and not a small one.

Yes.

Um, yeah.

And then he, oh, instantly looked better.

And what happened?

And, he didn't.

Yeah.

He kept saying they did this, they did that, but he didn't know because he'd been sedated and that.

Um, but he was fine.

He was up to, never looked more well for months.

I remember sitting in the bed like that.

Yes.

Um, when.

Because suddenly his heart wasn't.

Yeah, yeah.

He was, he was like gray and oh, it was scary when he had his because, like he was only 48 and I remember that he was and then the next the next day we saw him and he sat up, he you know, he had his shirt off, he sat up there and oh, yeah, this is, this is gray.

I'm fine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because when the pyramidis came, it was looking gray and pale.

And like, is this your usual skin color?

Because you look a bit like,

Pale.

Fantastic considering it's just been summer.

Have you been hiding your from the sun or the summer?

No?

Yeah.

I like a good tank color.

So yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You do like a gray color.

Um.

Yeah, it was.

Um.

And so, yeah, they put one that done one stint.

And as far as I understand.

He had one stint.

stance.

Yeah, but there was a complete blockage, you see?

There was a complete blockage.

That's what he keeps saying, right?

I don't like it.

Is that my answer?

It's a different artery now.

Yeah.

But, Complete blockage.

And that's why it was.

Right.

They said like the doctor came and asked a lot of the questions and talked to them.

One was completely blocked and two were partially.

occluded and they haven't passed them because it's risky to put too many stents in one go.

It's complicated.

Right, okay.

If it's needed, it can still be done, and when it's needed.

So it's better

To try and treat them medically.

And that's exactly the same conversation we had 13 years ago.

I remember we put those tents in and there's another occlusion and we're trying to treat them medically, really, without you know, the invasiveness of going back to him, putting another stent.

Yeah,

Yes, yeah, yeah.

Uh,

Okay.

So, but he's, you know, you're not happy with it straight away.

Then what do they mean?

They'll deal with.

it as and when it happens.

Well, I have to have another heart attack.

For the other one, I need another stent, I need another stent.

But she's explained it.

It's invented.

It's spent.

You still in pain.

How can how can they treat it?

Medically then just with with Tinder blood.

So he might spend a few days on extremely thin blood and not really moving.

Right, okay.

Okay.

For a little time to get me.

Yeah.

He's got to stay in the cardiac intensive care for 24 hours.

Right, right.

Okay.

As far as I know, he's fighting there.

But he was really tired and

Him.

He not slept because he didn't so much pain on me.

Well, no,

He wouldn't have been able to.

I told him to sleep and I left him to it.

Yeah.

So he's fine, but for a while, when they said that in the house and the way they reacted in the flutter, how serious he was.

How serious.

And the way they drove, and the fact it didn't even wait two minutes before taking him into theatre.

It's all good, where it was that.

and then nothing for three hours.

We were just getting really worried.

You would be.

But it's all right.

It's you're yourself in a good mood now, so it's fine.

He's had this Complete blockage completely.

There doesn't seem to be a whole thing.

They're like serious damage.

Right.

And hopefully they'll have, okay, it has to come through the GP, unfortunately.

but he should have regular checkups now, because I know like Nana and granddad used to have six monthly checkups of all sorts.

He had been having to do with the house.

He had been.

He had been had a.

But you know,

Ask your question, then.

Yes.

You're a medicine, and you're not getting tired out of breath when you walk uphills and stuff.

You're not like the scam, it'll be heart.

It's really.

Yeah. 12 daughters and you couldn't really know.

Yeah.

I mean, that this is going to happen.

But something.

Yeah.

The questions to be answered about, as fact, they've spent two nights in hospital.

I mean, discharged.

Discharged.

And then had a heart attack.

Yeah. 48 hours after he left.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And while while he's not happy that he thinks he should have had more stents than that, Obviously the work that they did do 13 years ago has saved him this time.

Oh yeah.

Because that's what the sort of said with with Nana when she had her first, her first one.

and she was and they wouldn't let her out until they've done the bypasses.

She was in yeah about five weeks.

I remember.

But they said that if she hadn't changed the diet when granddad

Had his.

Yeah.

So like 15 years earlier, she wouldn't have survived that heart attack.

And and then because she'd had that one, the next one, she survived as well because.

Exactly.

It's yeah.

And the technology had moved on a lot like it would have.

Yeah.

There weren't stents in 2001.

Otherwise you might well have just had stents for the same thing.

Maybe just stents instead of.

So that's what I was going to.

ask.

When they have the bypass, then, um, the cracky ribs will have to go in that way to do it.

How do they do the stents?

Is that?

They drill a hole.

They grind on his teeth.

Usually the wrist.

No.

Right.

It's amazing.

The metaphoric, like the wrist.

Even the groin or the wrist, but they join into an artery.

They're quite an artery.

And then the faded tube with a robe on the end.

Right.

The robot places, nano robot places a stent in the right occluded part of the artery of the vessel.

Wow.

And then takes

Field it.

It's unbelievable.

That is, it's fantastic.

But it's not without risk completely.

But it's still, well, exactly, going into a blocked archery and you're messing about with it.

And cutting the right artery down.

And cutting.

Oh, like, because you have to wear a, I remember it's the same as this other one.

You have to wear like, it's got like a bandage around, a clear plastic.

Compression.

Compression, because they've got an artery.

you know, if that slips anything.

Yeah, if that slips.

It's a second.

It's not like a test.

No, no, it's a big, a big thing.

A big hole and a big, big vessel.

songs.

Yeah.

But yeah, so he's okay.

Uh, just didn't look really worrying for a while.

I phoned BJ and I talked to him about it and he decided to, but we didn't know.

Right.

At the time, like how serious it was, but he was, It's getting worse by the hour when hours we're going by without news.

And so he's going to be with us about midnight and we're going to be here in the morning.

Okay, then, good.

Yeah, yeah.

That's good.

So, um, right, just take care and, um, send in hugs to you all.

Um, right, right.

Yeah.

And that is okay.

And and I'm glad you're okay.

Um I'd had really weird dreams last night and remembered them and it was oh it was.

You had weird dreams.

last night that he was having a heart attack since 90.

No, no, that he was having a heart attack.

It was stupid things.

It was when he said to talk, I was like, I just dreamt that, um, you just sort of turned up here and said, Oh, it's all gone.

TLC's closed.

And I was.

No, no, that's actually going well.

No, that sounds.

So that's

That's maybe like the connection of TLC

And.

No, yeah, maybe.

but there was something.

It wasn't nothing.

You know, you were literally having a heart attack.

Yeah.

When you were having no dreams.

And you couldn't sleep for it, so.

Oh, yeah.

We just met.

We don't know too much.

We'll find out more.

Thank you.

Thank you for being there.

I know that you have, you know, issues at times, but he's still your dad.

You know, when I took him to the hospital on Wednesday night or Tuesday, when Tuesday night, when I can't remember.

And we were waiting for hours and hours and I just left him left him to it in the end.

Yeah.

He and I was outside and laughing and watching the crazy trends pass and I was having a nervous breakdown.

I've got mental health.

I've got mental health.

I'm shouting and kicking the barriers and there was a guy brought in handcuffs by the police and they also had to just wait and they were waiting outside and then the transperson with the mental health was shouting about how long they had to wait and swearing.

And then one lady said, He stopped swearing.

And then the trans person started shouting at the person who said, Please stop swearing.

I think so, I'm one of shouting.

Perfect.

Yeah.

And then the policeman told them to, I was with the prisoner told them to shut up.

And then this trans he or she, I don't know.

Oh, you see, they're desperate to arrest me.

And showing the police on, like pushing him to fight them.

He just really wanted, he wanted to be arrested or admitted to hospital or anything.

Or admitted.

And they kept saying, At least I'll get a lift home afterwards.

Are they desperate to arrest me, look, they put any words in my mouth and all that.

But he was just completely having to go at the policeman and the policeman was just.

Yeah.

Being reasonable and ignoring it.

They're pregnant.

They're calm and.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They'd probably

Get out.

whole time.

Yeah, seriously.

Yes.

But we, me and Gwendolyn were just outside watching it on and laughing and laughing and look at this one, put that one in on.

He was, he'd never say he was having a heart attack burning.

He looked absolutely fine.

But in his work, he'd been having such severe pain in the morning.

Yeah.

It was to, you know, he needed to go to early.

To go.

Obviously, he should have been in the morning, but then, then the man had seen something at the time.

But yes, when

It was actually happening,

Yeah.

This is what happened.

And so here we are.

Yeah.

Oh, good.

So do you get on all right with Gloria then, when.

You've had, you know,

Like the shoes.

No, I just thought it was.

She was a bit weird about it.

She's nice and very, she's very, very caring for them.

She looked after.

Good to her.

But anyway, I took her towards her as well.

other all right together.

And she's, you know, like when we were at the hospital the other night and she comes outside with a bag and she gets out a mug and she gets out a flask and she gets out tea bags and makes him a cup of tea in it.

She's making him have a healthy diet.

She's, you know, I got similar interests with cooking.

She's telling me while I was sitting there waiting.

He was cooking, if he was cooking, I saw a recipe on the BBC wanted me wanting to have a go out here and stuff like that.

He's like a retired old man and that's very stuff like that.

It's fine and they'll just do that together.

But yeah, she makes him go to bed

She says it's a bit like looking after a child, but you know, he's all right.

You have to go to bed now, you have to eat all your food, you have to take, you have to do that.

She organizes this medicine, you know, the doctor asked about medicine and she gets out the bag and lays them all out and she's sorted them into boxes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning.

Yeah.

He has absolutely lost.

Yeah, I've got one of those, but it's only.

got vitamins in it, but yeah.

That's okay.

Um, yeah.

Take anything.

Okay, that's, that's good that he's, um, yeah.

He's got, um, that he's got her to look after him.

that's that's good.

Yeah, but it's a ton of water for not reacting to that pain last night.

Yes.

And I think she said, I know, but he didn't want to.

He didn't want to.

He says, no, he says no, it's just because of food.

It's just because of which is in fairness what he'd been told by the hospital.

Which is, yeah.

It wasn't like someone to ignore that either, you know, it's just.

Yes.

A big lesson in all this.

You don't ever, ever take it for granted.

I'll take it, try to guess what it is.

There's no reason.

I've never had, I've never had pain like that, so.

No, but the slightest thing, this 999, that's it.

Yeah.

It took them quite a while to get to us because they were that busy as well.

Right, yeah.

That's about 20 minutes.

So, but, you know, and I was kept thinking, if I'd known that yesterday, I'd have called 999.

Even when he told me this morning, I just got home because I was going to do some work at home, so then it was out.

And I was going to make a sandwich.

vacant sunrise and all that.

Sunrise.

And then he told me about it and I thought, okay, I'm gonna go there and call an ambulance and they're gonna come do an ECG.

They'll say, You're fired.

They're big fire, right?

Well, at least we'll feel reassured.

but then I'm not getting my lunch too late.

So I thought, okay, I'll just make this and eat it quickly and then go.

And I was like 20 minutes.

But then I kept thinking to myself, what could that 20 minutes have cost if I'd just gone

Called before I even went to him.

Yeah, but you needed to eat as well.

Um, yeah, thank God he's all right.

Yeah,

500.

If he, if he hadn't been, I would have, I wouldn't have wanted you to have felt any, uh, guilt Guilt at not going straight.

No, the guilt lies on the hospital or whatever happened in the day.

Yes, all the other things that.

You should have had like an angiogram or something, you know.

Yeah, we should have had.

We should have looked at the heart better.

In a bit more detail when he presented the chest pain.

And, it wasn't just to say so, because the blood that shot something wasn't right, and he had one abnormal ECG.

Just the fact they had two more okay after that's not enough.

And when when you say it's like when you've eaten.

So they often say that it feels like indigestion when when you have.

Yeah,

There's not much difference.

That's the thing.

And I was reassuring him earlier before the ambulance was, you know, I'm sure it is.

And I explained.

I know what you just said.

You know, 90% of the people that don't have any of the chest pain have got any gesture.

Of course.

But he had Gavis gone and he'd had a few.

It didn't make any difference.

And he was climbing and he was like, going right.

So it was down his arms, not his neck.

I said, it goes up my neck.

And he said, it's not my neck.

It's like my back and my arms.

And he'd been feeling nauseous.

That was the first thing the paramedics had said he felt nauseous.

He'd been biting a lot and he thought he could make himself sick and make it better, but he couldn't manage to.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

Okay.

Anyway, um.

So I'm going to stay up

For Pegan to get here about between 12 and 1:00.

Yes.

Right, oh goodness.

I don't know whether we go to the hospital or.

Well, yeah, the granddad didn't come out at 6:00, so I spoke to Bishop.

Right,

Right, okay, yeah.

Because we didn't

I just find him and he had a gap at about four.

Yes.

And I don't think we've got tonight.

I don't think he's going to want to.

By 9:00 he'll be awake.

Yeah.

I don't know, yeah, I don't know how, how tired you'll be and, I think you'll just see,

Um.

Seaways.

Yeah.

And, and I don't know, can you go at any time when, when you're in, Yeah.

Even the cardiac eye dependency is a.

Cardiac intensive care, isn't it?

Intensive care.

I mean, it's intensive care and there's a dedicated nurse.

But usually sitting up and joking and laughing.

when I left.

Yes.

Very sleeping about being daft and joking and all that.

You know, they come and ask like, excuse her puppy in the phone, like, how much do you smoke?

He says, I gave up smoking.

I went, uh, on the way here, you know, things like, how much do you drink?

And he's like, well, I did.

And I'm like, okay, do you like this?

Do you like that?

And on her screen, she's got pictures like,

Uh, shandy grass and a wine glass and a beer glass, uh, pine glass or something.

You go to like click on each one home in the unit.

Yeah.

And me and him I just pinned up.

I just had the menu.

I'll have one over those.

, one out of the house, and you know, he's been like that.

And then they're saying, look, just lie down and don't move too much, and it's like.

Yeah.

Just rest in your house.

So it's it's intensive care, technically, but it's nothing like when we saw none.

It's the same unit and there are people behind some of the curtains, obviously in a really, really, really bad way and comatose or whatever.

But he's like, like, you know, not that bad.

He's still, never know.

He's had hearts, I think he's had an heart attack.

Yeah.

He's got to be in there.

He's got to be looked after.

Um,

Yeah, she said he'll stay in that unit for 24 hours and then the review and decide where he goes, but not to expect to go for a few days at least.

Right, yeah.

No, no.

He would like to have more surgery.

Um, definitely.

Yeah.

So I said an option.

But whether they will give him it or not if the.

Probably.

No, that's what she said.

And probably will because of these stuff.

If you don't like, you shouldn't do too many stints.

in one go because it's risky.

Right.

I don't quite know why.

So there's no harm in having as many as you want.

It can be all metal tools inside instead of the metro.

But it just isn't good on too many in one go.

because.

Right, they may do more than one go, and if it's sort of the thing they need to save your life.

If they have to urgently at that point.

Yeah, risk each one, and it also, he's got pain, you know, if it's because he's still got some occluded arteries or because of the stent, because he's still, you know.

But yeah, because that forgets by its pits,

Its place and that.

Yeah.

It's still heart side at the end of the day.

It is.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah it is.

And if it doesn't seem, then there's still the message.

So good about the, that they can do the stents.

Hour though because that was that was the horrible thing with Nan and granddad.

You're not even asleep. six

Months to recover from.

Well, yeah, you said.

Um, he was sedated but not asleep.

So, like, like, making sedation or just.

No, I don't think I even do that because he was recalling what they were talking about.

And the doctor said, and he's telling him, look at the back one, look at the back one.

That's the one that didn't.

bother with the back one.

And the doctor saying to him, what's the back one?

Like, he wasn't sedated completely.

What is the spray they give?

You know, the angina spray?

Right, yes.

That just drops your blood pressure massively.

Right.

And then it gets you a bit like, not high, delirious and light headed and not silly, even a bit slow, but relaxed as.

well because your blood pressure has just dropped and sleeping.

So I don't think they don't even sedate them.

They just spray their arm and go on.

Just spray that and do it and yeah.

And fully

Wow.

Okay.

That's definitely what it was like last time.

Right.

It's really, to be honest, when you see it like that, it's really not a big deal.

It's not any worse than I.

mean, like, probably ten to ten times or something.

Really, that's painful.

It's just, uh, if it's a planned surgery, you know, I wouldn't really take it as something to be worried about.

But when you're admitted, I mean, how serious heart attack is.

Heart attack, that's different.

You don't know if it's going to happen, it's going to work.

If they can do anything or massive damage, you don't know.

Yeah, no, at 3:00, yeah.

Wow.

But just so awful that you were sat there for three hours waiting when he's already come out.

And that was very happy about.

it.

That's horrible.

Um, yeah.

I don't know how busy, but it's.

I think they come out of the test lab and they go straight into like surgical recovery because they need to be like properly watched.

Like with two nurses, either side, like when you come home, maybe.

Yeah, yeah.

And then the sort of thing, where an hour to so.

Some way that you can pass a note along, you know, and just.

They were just so busy.

They were just so busy.

Children.

And I think he might have been. or send it.

I think, you know, it's in this computer anywhere where he is.

She said, Oh, he's in the cath lab still.

I can't say more than that because it needs to be revealed.

reviewed.

But she could probably see that he's in recovery and he's not in the march.

Yeah.

And they.

Yeah, that's it.

I think they, uh, they were just so busy, because I don't think he would normally have been in there so long, even.

It's just that they weren't bedding.

Right.

And maybe didn't have anywhere to put him.

Yeah, it's like.

We were sitting in the middle of the cardiac intensive.

care, watching all these people in such a bad situation and relatives crying and like, equally people sitting each other, nothing.

It's like quite bad.

But, uh.

It's our software

Situation.

But I could see, I was just following the conversations of the staff and they were just trying to work out what's going well.

Can you chase that doctor up to sign that and we can move him on to 37 and we can move him on to 44, because because that.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, they were ready to be moved on to like a normal ward.

Yeah.

Intensive care and they were just trying to get them out so they could make this.

for the incoming ones.

Okay.

So it's in the Hallamshire rather than.

No, no, no.

Northern general.

Northern general, right.

Eight minutes to the Northern General.

I put it in my car and it said 14 and I did it 11.

But from when Gloria sent her message, I think it was about seven minutes.

from when I started driving, because at this one time I was there.

Yeah.

To them arriving at the thing and then when my birthday had already been there for five minutes,

So they didn't spend more than two minutes before he was in having.

Before he was in the theatre.

Wow.

Darvin, but, you know, an emergency.

It's very relaxed.

Yeah.

But when I called my 999, I got put in a queue and it was nearly two minutes till we answered the phone.

And she said, Can you go and stand by the road?

Because I can see it's like a block of flats.

So that's our crew will nowhere to go.

and anything, so anyone stood there and I was watching.

I wasn't in a panic at that point because we were still thinking they're going to come and say thinking that it's probably gently going and.

Yeah.

And Yeah.

So did, what happened about the windscreen?

Did that turn up in the middle of our?

No, I found the windship, can you just leave?

Yeah, that's.

You can't.

Circumstance.

Oh, don't worry, don't worry.

We'll come back when you want.

She was a ring when you.

He's not going to be driving for this, so it's okay.

No, no, there's no, no, no.

I think if I live there, no, the phone I've ever had.

Did you report it?

I mean, I know the police won't do anything about it, but did

Reported it to the police.

Yes, you're right.

For the insurance.

They gave a crime number, that's it.

Yeah.

It's not an accidental one.

You can see along the bottom of the windscreen, three places it's been struck.

Struck?

30 hours.

And that was on Friday, because I took Sam home in the evenings and Gloria had gone to the car at 8 a.m.

to get something out and she checked it.

She said, I always check it.

I'm absolutely fascinating wasn't it.

So it happened in the daytime.

Right.

So, where was it parked?

What was sort of.

By the front?

Really wrong bias or not?

If there's not a space at the very bottom, there's the middle level.

The next level.

up, yeah, where the garage, the garage level.

Yeah.

To pass in there and somebody once said, I remember they used to say to me, You can't park here because you don't live in this park or something stupid and I just ignored.

Right,

Yeah.

And he said, Oh, sometimes you're doing.

I just make them laugh and I'll just talk.

We'll probably they're not laughing.

And he's been there for three days because he's always in and out.

But and I occasionally been in hospital for three days.

He probably got more upset.

He took a hammer to it or something he had.

I don't know.

Really don't know.

Well, no, no, he don't know.

It wasn't like,

Something fell out the sky onto it.

You can see clearly that it's been attacked.

Mhm.

It's been attacked.

What do you have?

Oh, dear me, right.

So, Yeah.

But that's fine.

Don't worry at the moment.

That's what he kept saying.

You know, the paramedics who want to get them in the wheelchair.

But we can't go yet because they're coming to fix the windscreen at three.

Stuff But he was a bit confused.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

But you were there to sort it.

Thank you.

So yes.

So glad you were there with him.

Um.

Because I don't think they still would have called 999.

Thank you for talking to Bean Shannon's, um, and getting him up there.

And timing wise, because he's going to Spain.

I know.

So, right.

He flexed a bit about that, to be honest.

Anyway, I said, If you wanted to get a flight from Manchester, the two points, he said, Yeah, I've got my stock.

He might go back to my.

We'll see how it goes with Grandfish.

Yeah, yeah, yeah

That's what I was thinking.

Right.

Okay.

I cancelled on holiday.

It's been when Nana had a heart attack for.

I know. 2001 and 2001.

Yes. 25 years ago, my God.

Yeah, a few days before 911 it was when we went without them.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, we were there.

We came back on 910.

We were.

On 99.

To come

Back.

Yeah.

And wasn't that when there was the flood in Yarm as well, or was that another time?

Yeah, it was.

Yeah, but we came home.

The last time we flew there wasn't a lock on the cockpit door.

The cabin door.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, dear, right.

Well, I'm.

I'm glad it's it's all worked out so far.

And I hope it's all right.

Yeah, yeah.

And how you back now then with all of that?

It improved a bit, yeah.

it had improved.

But, you know, I was chatting with the doctor in there as well, because it slowed down some of his pills, because he spent so much time lying down in bed because of the back, because it was really bad.

The back, yeah.

And because of that, he's not been moving.

He's been still, which is one thing.

And then also, he been getting, he'd been taking lots of strong painkillers that they've been giving him, and he'd been getting offset tummy from them, so he'd been reducing the heart medicine.

With their pharmacist's advice,

Right.

Like if you're not doing anything, you can take on, take that every other day instead of every day while you're having a.

Right, okay.

Thinking is for your back.

So it's a combination of things that they, Hopefully that

Will all get picked up more when like debriefs or before he gets discharged hopefully they'll have

All.

I don't know because there was plenty to go through that.

time.

And you know what it's like.

And the doctor came and was halfway through.

And there were so many questions.

And I was he was very nice and caring.

The two doctors on for the ten people in the Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right, then.

Okay.

Are you back home now?

Yeah.

yeah, yeah, it's raining quite a lot.

Yeah, all right, okay, yeah.

I've had, I've been doing things in the house here again.

I've had Amy's boyfriend over,

Yeah, yeah.

And we've been doing stuff up in the loft.

I've got lots of papers that your school book and you know, like the same things that you do in nursery and stuff like, that.

Yeah, well, scan them in time.

I will do it.

And I'll bring them down and when you scan them for me.

Yeah, yeah, but at any point.

I'd love to though that, yeah, and see them.

And then we can recycle them in our new larger.

recycling bin?

Yeah.

Oh yeah, you've got your large recycling bin that you can go into, yes.

Yeah, so.

I still went out last night, 2:00 and half full.

Oh, wow, that's.

And that's without even squashing the stuff, because I'm not bothered about squashing it.

Or falling out.

Yeah, but it wasn't even half full.

You just squashed it to block.

remember.

Yeah, but I just brought all the boxes in full.

These things. unsquashed, and it still wasn't wasn't even half full.

Well, that's a good.

It was a bit more than half, and I just pushed it down and I realized it was mostly air.

Sorry, I think it's fair.

Yeah. yeah Anyway, No, that's all right.

I'll say I'll say night night.

Yeah.

Night night for now.

But I'm glad you are right.

And the host host Susan will do you see okay.

It's okay.

She's not okay.

She's not off.

okay, obviously, but, um.

She's okay.

Yeah.

She was fine.

How did Ann how did Anna get on at the, um, the trial for the new gymnastics class, was that?

She liked a lot more.

Right.

The place.

I don't think you've seen the other one, have you in drawing?

I haven't, no.

I just know it's.

It's a new one, but it's a.

So honestly, it looks a lot less modern.

It's a lot old and less well kept.

And the equipment's older, the little ones used, the modern equipment, which is the bigger ones used.

And

Have them doing as much hard stuff.

So it was a bit easy.

A bit more playing and felt like more hard work.

And I thought that was brilliant.

And she said, I'm really good at this one.

So.

Yes, it will make her look better because I'm not seeing poaches.

Yeah,

And also it's not drawn down.

It's around the corner.

Yeah.

So.

So it's not so far.

to travel and that as well.

It's like a ten second drive and it's slightly more expensive, wait a longer class.

And it's on a saturday morning instead of like rushing there, or whenever, I can't, Sunday, whatever it was, I can't remember.

That was, you went on a Sunday, but I didn't know what.

So, so yeah, things were thought out.

Oh, and have you, are you going to use the same calendar for Anna through the coming year?

Because there's nothing on it yet and I was looking at past term something.

Or something I don't know?

Um, I'm going, I'm going to France.

When are you going?

I'm going to transfer to the, um, 28th October.

October.

October.

You have to go from Stanford.

Yeah, we might go somewhere else.

I don't know.

When I spoke to Bijan earlier, he said he's going to Yeah. for me.

And I said, You're gonna fly over your other house, then.

Your other home.

Yeah.

And he said, Yeah, you go right over the top of him.

I said, Have you got keys?

You've still got it for the half a period.

He said, Yeah, yeah.

I just can't stain it.

I'm boring another.

Well, I

Talked I talked to him about that because a few days ago because I said I really wanted.

There's lots of really good stuff in Toulouse over the summer.

It's too hot to be in Toulouse.

Yeah, it's going on.

So, holiday.

But like at the beginning of June or the beginning of September, it would be now would be really nice to be.

Yeah.

Honestly, I've done.

That's kind of.

So we can go and stay with flat when he's not, when he's not.

Yeah, I feel him better.

Yeah.

So we need to talk to him about how how the key, how he deals with the keys.

Because I was saying, oh, I want to come next year in these dates.

And he said, oh, we're going to come back to Hastings sooner.

So I just have to go when you're not there.

But then we're like. skip off the kingdom and make a copy.

I'm sorry to you.

It's it's funny because you have like electronic fobs to get into these um.

Yeah, well it's a problem.

It's the fob.

Um, the thought out.

No, um, yeah, okay then.

Right.

Yes, okay, then let's go to bed and I'll wait for Beijing for another one and a half feet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I'll catch it with the bus

Tomorrow, if that's all right.

Yeah.

Okay.

Let me know how things are going.

And and first, I'm doing that.

I'm trying.

When you're going to tell her about it.

I'll tell you when I see you.

I've given you her a bit of a hard time because I've told her that I'm driving to Hastings and I'm driving to Stansted when we go to France and she's in shock about that at the moment.

Oh, she's coming really to France, isn't she?

Yeah, and to Houston.

Oh, wow.

Oh, so she's in Chocolate.

She'll be driving.

She'll be a passenger.

She'd be a passenger.

Oh, that's what we do. get a train.

Well, I've seen them in Suffolk and Essex with the train that crashed.

Yeah, I don't.

I don't want to be on the train on them.

Is that bead on the land that the train crashed on?

It was.

his line.

Yes, I know we talked to him.

He killed.

Yeah.

When you get killed, they got injured.

Well, yeah, that's good.

That doesn't happen on the motorway.

But it, I mean, it's like 100 and odd pounds each to go down on the train.

Yeah,

I don't need

A car when I get there, but it's, uh, it's a

15.

Yeah, fair enough.

You walk to Morrison.

Ah,

That far south.

Walking to your test score.

They've got big more.

Yeah.

I thought they didn't know them down that far stuff.

Um, they do.

I bet it used to be a Safeway.

It probably used to be, yeah, something else probably.

It's a big, big hill.

It's even bigger hill than yours, I think.

I don't know.

Maybe that's there.

Coming up.

All the more you can take the car with you.

When you've got the shopping.

Ah yeah, but you can't park anywhere near Binchan, so you park almost at, um, at Morrison's before.

That's not gonna be driving.

Double garage.

He's got a double carriage.

Well, he

Well, he's not going to get time to do it now, but I'd say to him if he can clear a bit of space in the garage, my car would probably fit in it.

And then he said, as long as the garage doesn't fall down on it.

Yeah, that's true.

The garage won't fall down on my car.

But then if the garage falls down, then the house could fall down.

So that's all very.

I won't, it won't.

Concern.

so I don't think that would happen.

So yeah, in his drive, it would be quite good.

I've got a boot full of stuff to take down to him as well.

Yeah, another reason not to get the train.

Yeah, yeah, yeah because I was looking at sending parcels, but by the time you look at how much it costs to send the parcel, how much it costs to go on the train, I can do it in the car for a fraction of the price.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

So, night for now.

No problem.

I that you could

Big hug.

Bye for now.

And I'll I'll talk to you both tomorrow.

Okay.

Thank you.

See you soon.

Bye bye.

Bye.
