Surprise surprise!

Just wanted to let folk know that Frank has not been well and this morning (friday 23rd November) had a heart attack while trying to win at the Gala! Blackpool Victoria Hospital – where they do the triage – with a stent fitted to the left ventricle but some complications with furring of the right one.

Frank Update Monday 25th November) - First thanks for your support and thoughts. Frank is progressing well and when I visited him on Sunday morning he was out of bed, cheery, looking much improved. However he is still rather poorly with the consultant arranging a MRI Scan today with the prospect of fitting a pace-maker combined with a implanted cardioverter defibrillator – the pacemaker to regulate the heart beat and the ICD that send an electric shock to the heart that reboots the heart and gets it going again.
The prospect is that he will be staying with the excellent team in the Lancaster Cardiac Centre based at Blackpool Hospital for at least the next week. http://www.lancashirecardiaccentre.nhs.uk//

Again we appreciate all your thoughts and wishes for Frank’s speedy recovery! I’ll keep posting updates!
