I thought I'd give you an update on my heart issues.
Last night I did a 2.5 hour reccie of the HPM on Howden edge. on returning to the carpark I bumped in to Peat Water at Langsett. we'd both been out for long runs over Howden reccieing the HPM. Just after he left I became "ill" I managed to get my self home but realised soon after another trip to hospital was needed.

Once again the Northern general were fantastic, whipping me through the queue and in to a resus room where after the nurse, doctor, resident and consultant had seen me it was decided to try a paticularly Nasty drug called Adenosine which basically stops the heart straight away and gives the "Impending doom" feeling you get when having an heart attack. after the first dose which was unpleasant but failed they doubled the dose and tried again with even worse feelings also with no success, third time lucky and I have to say that was the worst but still with no cure..... Out came the defib. the knocked me out and then zapped me....success!

I had to stay in over night but I'm home now. The worst bit was trying to get the sticky electrodes off my hairy(not so much now) chest at 2.00am in the Cardiac intensive care ward.

Anyway home now but will take a a few days off. no drugs or conditions applied on the discharge sheet so for the moment in ture Sharpe style...IDP will soldier on...
