Peter is going back to harefield overnight

[misdee]

i feel really sh*tty posting this when MB is having a tougher day

his VAD console is playing up. it isnt beeping when its meant to and is making a horrible whirling whistling noise. they are going to put him on his back up machine, and keep him in hospital as they dont have a spare ready atm.

its a minor problem, but still really sucks.

Hope he'll be back home soon, Misdee.

its seeing that overnight bag on the table, i want to fling it out the window.

It is all relative, you have got used to having him around, lets be honest there was a time when we never thought we would see the day when he would be going back in. IYKWIM

Oh sorry misdee, I know it must feel horrid.

But at least it's because his machine has a prob, rather that a further prob with HIM, if you see what I mean.

i knoe sherlock, there was a time when i didnt believe he would ever come home. he has come on so well, and we have adapted to LVAD life, and life after stroke etc, and now one of fears of machine failure is coming true. at least this problem should be easily fixable.

Shame. Good luck misdee. Focus on him getting home again xxx.

Wishing him and you luck etc.

And well done for being able to think f others(mb) when your situation is so difficult and worrying.

Hope he is back home with you very soon.

he is coming home!

they had a spare machine, so no need to stay overnight.

thank goodness

Oh, that's brilliant news, misdee (opened thread with a bit of trepidation!)

superb!!!

Oh, brilliant, Misdee!

Glad it was sorted so swiftly misdee. And don't feel bad about posting - I'm sure no other mumsnetters would begrudge you a thread.

glad to hear it!!

good news

Thank goodness he is home!

Hugs to you girl, you are my hero! I don't know how you have coped with all this stuff for so long!

MB, neither do i lol..

this machine is quieter and not whirling, just nice clear clicks.
