Thinking of all of you xxx

Hope its all gone well misdee xxx

misdee: remember to go easy on the poor lad when he comes round

Put the baby oil away for a week or two, eh ?

Thinking of all of you and your Sparkly taxi driver too. (How's she doing BTW ?)

Hope its all worked out well. Keep strong.

Fingers still crossed here. xx

hope evrything is okay sweetheart xxx

hope all is well.Is he back now?

misdee?

he was back on ward at 7pm. apparently a few things went wrong with fitting the device, due to the wires, but in the end they managed it.

he has read the leaflets on the ICD, and has to inform the DVLA that he has had the device fitted. He also is not allowed to drive for six months. so i am now under intense pressure to pass my test before may think he may have to fork out for the intensive course for me

and i';ve done it again oops.

hope it's all gone well, Misdee. my dad is probably having one of these. he's just had catheter ablation. all the best to your dh

so are you on SM computer then or just confused

on her pc. will be home soon tho.

glad it went well. Definatley book that intensive driving course now.

this is wonderful news, misdee . Hopefuly he'll start to feel the benefits asap. Good luck for your driving lessons & tests. Do you have someone to take you out for practice inbetween lessons to improve your chances ?

dh is in a lot of pain. the scar looks horrible, and you can clearly see the outline of the device inside. its a simialr size to a small flip mobile phone. he now has a list of things to avoid which could affect the device. he was offered the chance to go to a support group but dh is in a different situation to most people who have an ICD/pacemaker fitted, in that dh only has it untill a heart is available, whereas other people have it for life, so not sure how good the group will be for him.

dh has the money in his account to cover an intensive course, so will call my instructor in a bit to see what he says.

misdee are you aware that the family fund will pay for driving lessons, would you qualify for help from them?
