Bionic Bobby is back

[BobD]

Managed to escape from Askaban after lunch thanks to hot wheels Sam and Mikey on navigation and just got home.

Quick resume

Angiogram --- coronaries all good . Had 20 min aura following contrast which is a first for me. Only residual problem was the dresssing. Nurse with the clippers who prepped me massively under achieved and when Nurse Mena went to remove the dressing at lunchtime she sprang back in horror whilst barely stiffling a chuckle and suggested I do it myself when I got home. Now I know the inspiration for Edvard Munch's famous painting.

The PM implant went OK and less painful than I expected (you know I am a devout coward about pain) and I guess the worst bit was the local anaesthetic. Xray'd and operation checked and all working so back in six weeks for PM check .

Feel a bit battered and bruised and desperately tired (hospitals as so noisy) so I'm not hanging about this evening.

Thanks for all the good will.

Bob

Glad you are safely home Bob and all went well. Now do as you always tell us……rest! Would love to have seen that nurses face 😂xxx

[sassy59]

Good to hear from you Bob and glad all went well. Wishing you all the best. X

[Nannysue1]

Glad it all went well Bob. Time to put your feet up for a while. Do you feel better immediately, albeit battered and sore?. Ie, out of AF and in sinus rhythm?. What have they set your pacemaker at?.

[Hidden]

Excellent news Bob, there’ll be no stopping you now!

[pottypete1]

Glad it is all over and you are safely home.

Don’t forget don’t lift anything heavier than the TV remote until it all settles down. 😜

[jeanjeannie50]

I was wondering how you'd got on Bob, nearly PM'd you a short while ago. Glad to hear all went well. Now rest please and allow the pacemaker to bed in with no aggravation from you moving around. You take care for a few weeks now.

Good wishes for your recovery Bob!

[Jay10]

Glad all went well apart from the dressings. Now take it easy and let the PM settle in.

[10gingercats]

Glad it went well Bob.Apart from a few chips around the edges it sounds as if all is well. Asthe others say its time for you to put your feet up and for Mrs Bob to love and care for you...which i feel sure will happen.

[Gumbie_Cat]

Glad it went well, all the best.

[Hylda2]

So happy for you

[Shcldavies]

Well done, sure there will be the odd hiccup during recovery, but the PM may be the best thing for you, exiting times recovery then back to a normal life.

[Achant1]

Rest up Bob, all the best 👌🏻

[mrgwair567]

Take it easy now! So glad all went well

[Cavalierrubie]

All done - well done. Nice few relaxing days now that is behind you. Wishing you well.

[MummyLuv]

Great stuff Bob, pleased it all went well, except the little bit of ‘hairdressing’ 😂

Rest well and here’s to feeling a lot better 👏

[Lilypocket]

Glad all went well Bob! Take care and rest x

[Bagrat]

Good stuff by the sound of it, Use the plaster remover with caution in the area concerned or you will be ouching!!

[BobD Volunteer in reply to Bagrat]

hence my reference to Edvard Munch or is that a bit too off the wall?

[Bagrat in reply to BobD]

No I got that connection. Should have put WILL in capitals. Thought maybe you had approached the offending dressing with brute force!!

[GrannyE in reply to Bagrat]

That sounds a very ouch thing to do

[Fastbeat]

😊

[4chickens]

Glad it went well and your home safe and sound.

[mjames1]

Well done and welcome back! Why the angiogram? A requirement for the PM? Anyway, sounds like you made the right call re not taking statins.

[Nan1]

Good news Bob. Take good care of yourself

[colourblue]

My very best wishes Bob for your recovery. Laughed at the Edvard Munch bit, not funny for you though. Always enjoy reading your wise words on this site. Take care.

[Camelia23]

Hope you continue to make a good recovery. You are brave.

[Camelia23]

By the way, what's a PM?

[Hidden]

Welcome to the PM club - May you need many more battery replacements ( unless you have the new solar rechargeable version of course)

[Jetcat]

I hope you start feeling better soon bob. Get some quality sleep and put your feet up.👍

[President2012]

Good to hear all went well. Take care and take it easy.

[Tellingfibs]

Good to know you are back from the Bionic Pacemaker Department and feeling well enough to tell us ! Now enjoy the soothing peace and quiet and we will all look forward to hearing how well you recover - and possibly regale us with more amusing observations from your experience !

[Pita]

Welcome to the PM club Bob, pleased it went well

[GrannyE]

Hooray So glad all went well and it is behind you now. What limits do they set the PM at so that it intervenes? Anyway have a lovely relaxing recovery. Thx for updating. X

[Hidden]

Small solar panel pinned to the lapel actually - this is another of my inventions after the Cardio-Swat and the wind -recharged PM ( very heavy head mounted fan-type arrangement) 😂

[Singwell]

Well done Bob! Look forward to hearing that progress is good.

[TenorJK]

Glad you are ok and joined the P/maker club. I had AV node ablation May 30 and all is well Just BP tabs and Warfarin Jo

[Nick1957]

Best of luck Bob. Now rest!! 😁

[bassets]

Really pleased you're home safe and ready for some R&R. Was it you or Nurse Mena who resembled the Munch more?

[Kennyb1968]

Good stuff mate - take care

[Daisyblu]

So pleased it all went well for you Bob. Take care x

[C66t]

Great to hear all good with angiogram(apart from the prep) gently does it now for few weeks, you have been through a fairly big ordeal. A few good nights sleep in your own bed should help. Mind yourself and keep us updated.👏

[Rainbowlad]

Been and got it done! Take it easy for a time now, Bob.
