.... we don' get snow like this often. It spurred me on to put up the Christmas tree... and then went out with my 23 year old son and made the snowmen.

I definitely would not have had the energy to have done all this before having my ICD fitted. Good old Kurt ( I have named my device) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I love that your device is called Kurt. I thought about naming mine but I couldn't beat such a fab name so I didn't. x

Ps I love that you were out building snowmen. Up here in Yorkshire it was a light dusting and didn't stick to the ground. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Aw thanks Spatz.... I think I am still such a kid. And genuinely loving life and there's nothing better than doing silly stuff and having a laugh. And it' lovely to be able to look forward to stuff and not worry .... now I have Kurt. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Good on you X

Hiya what a beautiful tree, I put mine up on Sunday, but for a change in Scotland we have no snow! I would never have thought to name my little insurance device, although my car has one hehe, I might just have to call it Gabriel since it will be my little guardian angel and it's getting fitted on the 22nd Dec a Xmas gift! Although not quite the type of thing I would have wanted lol ๐Ÿ˜‚ xx

Gabriel is perfect! And I reckon it will be the best (and most expensive!) Christmas gift you'll ever receive :)

I feel like I need a name for mine now, but I fear "magic machine" may have stuck. Maybe I'll call it Ali Bongo ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hi Les .... I too was apprehensive before the op.... but can honestly say it' made such a difference to how I feel and the energy I have. All the very best with your op and I am sure it will be onward and upward for 2018 and beyond ๐Ÿ˜€

Well received the letter 2 days after the meeting, they say another Stress MRI scan would be useful in deciding whether to tackle the Right Coronary Artery or the LAD ( which goes on to supply the large septal and diagonal territory ) so wait now for a Stress MRI anyone know if that's the same as a Myocardial Profusion Scan ??
