He has been visiting my aunties and went out to the car ready to drive home this afternoon, staggered back into the house and collapsed.

Ah how horrible Yorkie girl (and you too schneebly).
Will someone keep you posted on any news as soon as they get it ?
I know how horrible you must feel, i was very close to my granddad, he was very poorly and passed away just over a year ago, absolutely heartbreaking.

sorry, been at dentist and just got home.
Grandad had an angioplasty last night, stent fitted. They managed to get rid of all the cltos and the operation was a success. Not spoken to my mum since this morning but am presuming no news is good news.
