Today felt like doomsday…the day I would have to find out what the fuck was happening to me and the day I would have to tell my parents I had had a heart attack. It was just a mess. The first person I saw was Ruth, who was starting work early, I was given meds and I waited to see the Doctors. My nurse Lucie was amazing, taking so much time to make me feel comfortable and answer my questions.
The Doctors came round, again shocked to see someone so young but told me they would do an Angiogram to see what was going on and asked me general questions to get an understanding why this would have happened.
They prepped me and took me along to the department for the procedure, everyone was very friendly. They have all been really careful with needles and I didn’t feel any discomfort. I was expecting it to be very uncomfortable. They showed me all of the screens and explained where the blockage was but explained they didn’t need to do any further procedures and that medication should do what they need.
The girl who looked after me called Anna was brilliant, and once she had clamped me for the time required, I went back down to the ward. My Nurse Nicole kept my spirits high all evening and friends came through none stop making me indeed feel very special, bringing gifts and kept me smiling all day long.
Late Evening I called home to let them know what had happened but that I was feeling ok and would be on the mend soon. They were of course a mess but I think felt comfortable knowing I wasn’t alone.
