Sorry to see this outcome to this thread. Hope he gets another chance soon.

Easy · 04/04/2005 10:46

Sorry to hear about your disappointment Misdee, you must both be devastated this time.

Still maybe they can stabilise Peter by the time the next opportunity arises, giving him the best chance for a good, quick recovery.

Thinking of you, and praying.

Gobbledigook · 04/04/2005 10:48

Oh misdee - sorry to hear the TP didn't go ahead. Really hoping and praying another opportunity comes around for you very soon.

So, even if his INR was lower, the heart was not viable. Don't be too down, misdee.

As I suspected, this can happen quite a bit until all the right conditions line up...

Let's hope everything conspires to give Peter the break he needs, soon. Tell him he's got thousands of women thinking about him, it'll make him smile. Don't tell him a strange man did a jig though, you'll only make things worse.

Get chopping on the carrots and apples and put the fags away - unless you enjoyed the punishment.

misdee · 04/04/2005 11:16

loved it lol.

he has had a jab todayof what he calls 'special k' not too sure on the real name of it, but it helps his blood to clot quickly. they'll do more tests today, he is hoping to be out tomorrow but may be there till the end of the week again.

HUGGGGGGGGGGGGS

Sending you lots of positive thoughts

anorak · 04/04/2005 11:43

Oh misdee, what a nerve-wracking night you've had. Lots of love and good wishes for Peter too xxx

hub2dee · 04/04/2005 11:50

Noticed that everybody ?

'LOL'

but no

She's terrible.

If you have a Japanese supermarket anywhere near you, go and buy a big bag of edamame - Soy beans - v. high in protein and take ages to eat as you pop each pod in your mouth and squeeze out the peas. About £1.40 for a large frozen bag. Stick half a bag in the microwave for 5 minutes and you'll be busy for 1/2 an hour. Impossible to eat with fags.

Hope the Special K does the trick.

misdee · 04/04/2005 11:54

this is welwyn m8, no shops other than your basic somerfield/one stop and normal supermarkets.

the fags are in the kitchen drawer, put away till the next drama.

hub2dee · 04/04/2005 11:59

Chuck 'em, misdee.

Next time you're at a big supermarket, or notice an oriental one, grab as many bags of edamame as you think you can reasonably fit in your freezer. They are delicious and healthy.

OK. I'm going to get on with my Executive Tasks now. Catch up later. Hope all news is good news.

throckenholt · 04/04/2005 11:59

hugs - must be have been nerve-wracking.

Apparently they often get cancelled, and the usually call in 2 recipients - just in case the first on the list can't have it for some reason. So I guess more often than not someone is all ready for it and then it doesn't happen.

Hope things are sorted soon.

SPARKLER1 · 04/04/2005 12:03

Misdee - I cant believe what I've read here this morning. I so thought I was going to wake up and see you posting that the operation was a success. Really didn't expect this. Hang in there - we are all here for you. xxx

I'm so sorry about this misdee. I was really hoping this would be the turning point. It will come soon, I'm sure.
