I'm new here....
Just turned 69 and on Wednesday 16th September I had a heart attack at home . I knew what was happening so rang for an ambulance immediately. Have never been so scared in my life but as I was alone tried to be brave. Went to hospital on blue lights and received a stent in the main artery. On Friday

From stent to surgery
You may have seen my previous post but to recap, mum had a heart attack on Wednesday morning. She had a couple of stents put in to a blockage and went for another angiogram today. Unfortunately there is a calcium and fat buildup which is not suitable for stenting. She has been told she will have to
