Stroke update…
Transferred from Harefield following stent fitting and mild stroke to Mount Vernon North London ( Boris constituency ) for a few weeks of rehab. Half vision still and both left leg and arm much weaker. Amazing staff here who push you to regain both muscle strength and confidence. Finally i must apologise

New here, cabg’ed
I’m new here. Cabg x 5 about 7 weeks ago. Dropped the codeine after about 2 weeks (weird dreams!) and slowly reading paracetamol. Following the advice, slowing increasing duration, not intensity of walking and only real problem is drain holes (2 of 3) not healing properly and starting a steroid cream

anyone out there with aortobifemoral bypass experience?
hi, I found out in 2020 that i need to have an aortobifemoral bypass graft as my aorta is completely blocked. I suffer from severe claudication in the legs and buttocks and can only walk very short distances without needing to rest. While assessing for the ability to survive this op, i was found to

What is “normal “ tiredness
My 83 year old dad had stent inserted 11days ago Also has pneumonia which is easing But he is so extremely fatigued-despite having a good 10 hours sleep each night he falls asleep at the drop of a hat through the day Is this to be expected at this early stage ? I think it is but he’s anxious over

Thank you.
Just wanted to thank everyone who gave help and reassurance in my recent post about my husband who, at the age of only 40 and previously fit and well on every way, shape and form, was admitted with ?unstable angina 7 days ago. Well. Today he underwent the angiogram which showed two arteries were blocked

Waiting for stent but anxious about catching covid
Hello- I’m ‘5-7’ weeks from an angiogram/stent…. Taking Asprin/atorstatin/amilopidine (sp!) and feeling fine. But several of the kids and teacher in my sons class have tested positive for covid in past week…. We’re (still!) negative. Is it a terrible thing to get covid if 47 and severely blocked LAD

Weak, breathy voice
Hi, I've posted on here before, my husband had an NSTEMI in June last year and a stent fitted. Since then his recovery hasn't improved and we still haven't got a diagnosis. He is unfit to return to work and he has these episodes which are increasing in number each week. He feels an uncomfortable pain
