we’ll it’s just been confirmed, I’m due into Basildon Hosp on wed for the op on Thursday

Now the brain goes into overdrive but I can tell you, win, draw, or lose with the operation, if they weren’t doing it I don’t think my breathing would last another 2 weeks as it is

good luck for Thursday . You’re in good company Mick Jagger had a valve replacement by keyhole surgery about 3 or 4 years ago. According to a newspaper article fairly recently this less invasive surgery is ideal for anyone with other compromising health issues, so you’ll be fine.

I know Basildon hospital well as both my children were born there and I had my pacemaker fitted there four years ago. You are in good hands! Praying it will go well on Thursday and that you will soon see an improvement.

Basildon hospital was amazing when I had my ICD implanted, via the Cardiothoracic centre. Try not to worry, easier said than done I know.

Wishing you well for Thursday. Remember that while it is scary for you, the staff are well trained and prepared and your well being is their priority. Looking forward to hearing your update. 🤗

I had a bypass there last December. They are well-organised and the Cardiothoracic Centre is highly thought of. The food is quite good for a hospital and there is an M and S and WH Smith in the hospital. Good luck.
