Yesterday it was The Royal Brompton Hospital day for both me and my son.
My son's appointment was for the morning and mine was late afternoon.
We decided that we would go from my mum's house and take the bus, well two busses, which did take about two hours. But the children loved it, this was much better than the underground as the children can see where they a going. When we got there my son was booked in and taken for an ECG, he is getting really used to these now. We waited to be called into see the doctor.
This clinic is a busy one and a wait is quite normal. We were called in and the doctor told us that the results from the heart monitor were inconclusive. So we now have to have yet another heart monitor put on and if this doesn't catch it he will need a loop recorder implanted (internal ECG see my post from last year about the one I had implanted). Now we are waiting for a appointment to have this monitor put on.
On another note I am also waiting for an email with the confirmation that my son can go under general anaesthetic for his ENT operation. From The Bromptons point of view there is no reason why he can't but it will all depend on how much experience the anasetist has.
Doctor Till my sons doctor said he is a complicated case.
After we finished we went to the Natural History Museum to kill time before I would need to go and see my consultant, Dr Salukhe, in the afternoon.
When it was time for my appointment I was weighed and I have lost 11kg since having the pacemaker. After a wait I went in to see my doctor and he said I was looking very well. I explained that I am having chest pains, so I have been given an appointment to have my pacemaker interrogated to see if there was any change in rhythm. I also need to have stress eco done which has been booked for the end of June.
Well that is all for now. Back soon with more updates.
