MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
with my dodgy heart.
feeling a bit nervous, go into hospital tomorrow for the next attempt to get my heart back to normal.
endoscopy for starters to look at my esophagus (anyone know what this has got to do with the heart?), never had a pipe down and not looking forward to it at all.
the friday morning, in for a cardiac ablation, been told it is a 6ish hr procedure where you have to be conscious.
can honstly say i have never been so worried/scared in my life.
fingers crossed and all that. 😐
We're all with you brother! Chin up! Don't forget your fish pie 🙂
Best of luck ton. Hope it goes well for you big fella.
Did you take the picolax yet?
All the best think positive.
You'll be fine.
fingers crossed fella. Positive thinking!
Good luck mucker
positive vibes sent
Hope it all goes well.
Chin up, Ton. We will all be rooting for you.
The good news is that they tend to know what they are doing.
The bad news is .... well I cant think of any really.
But the very best of luck! Make sure to come back and give us a blow by blow account.
Can you take photos?
All the best, hope all goes well.
Good luck
All the best big guy, even if you are a wazzack 😉
Best of lucky fella
Ive had the endoscopy, camera down the throat, they either spray your throat with a numbing spray, the camera looks like a black hosepipe with a light in the end of it,youre asked to lie on your side, and slowly they put the camera in your mouth, theres a mouth guard to stop you biting it, IT DOESNT HURT, DURING OR AFTER,a nurse will probably hold your arm, i asked if he was just being freindly, he said people have tried to pull the camera out, so thats why he held my arm.
After you get some toast and biscuits and a cup of tea.
Askm questions, and watch the tv screen, if you want to , its all hi tech
Best wishes .
Yep, good luck and all.
Good luck big fella.
Best wishes Ton,please update us ASAP
Hope all goes well Ton.
Keep thinking of the end result, hopefully that will help you through it.
Innes
cheers all..........the toast and biscuits bit sound ok. 8)
All the very best Ton. Looking forward to the forthcoming new bike threads 😉
Good luck mate. Sure you're in good hands.
Good luck Ton.
good luck fella, all will run smooth ive no doubt 8)
good luck 🙂
Positive vibes from me too - that electric bike will soon be up for sale 😉
best thing you can do during an endoscopy ton is to relax and go with it, it gets loads better when you work this out. best of luck chap.
Good luck, lets hope it they can work out whats going on and you can be back riding as hard as ever soon enough.
Good luck to you sir, even though we've never formally interacted, I know you're a good guy and wish you the very best of luck, hope it all goes well.
Good luck ton, like others I have had the camera and tbh it was a bit of a letdown, I was told to bring someone and be prepared to get a taxi home but I did not need anyone and drove home,piece o piss
Endoscopy is a piece of piss. You'll love it - it's a hoot!
Its nothing to worry about, its just the first stage on your road to recovery... thats what it is and as such, you should be looking forward to it!
I know I am... need to get another ride with you matey. I miss them Ton hugs!
All the best Tony 🙂
lowey, once i get sorted, we are gonna have to get the stw northern chapter rides going again.
miss them like heck mate.
thanks for the good vibes everyone.
and mamadirt.............i have my eye on a couple of idea's. 😉
Wakefield or Leeds ton? Wherever, I'm sure you'll be fine. Shall I get our lass to knit you a lovely endoscopy gown?
Good luck Ton
Good luck matey and if there's any injections involved don't be concerned when they tell you " you'll only feel a little prick" 😉
Bill
LGI mitch........and pink and itchy for the gown..... 😉
Pink, itchy and extra extra large coming raight up owd cock!
Good luck Tony...
Keep us in the loop eh?
Is the endoscopy actually a TOE? ie an echocardiogram done via an endoscope in the oesophagus rather than the usual through-the-chest-wall view? A pretty routine way of getting better views of some bits of the heart if so...
...and I know dozens of people who have had ablations with no problems.
Fist pie them if you have to!
Good luck mate, hope it all goes well.
Best of luck. looking forward to hearing about your next 'proper' ride.
Jeeze, MTFU Ton yer big pansy, or I'll be up there to sort you out. 😡
All the best big man. Still many pints we ain't had together yet.
X
good luck!
*hugs*
all the best my lovely
Second the TOE it's a way of looking at your heart with out lung and other bits in the way as you'd get when scanning from the out side.
All the best mate, I bet it will go grand. 😀
Good luck today. Is horrible having anything done but I'm sure it will be fine. *hugs* x
it'll all be good big man - just go with the flow
I have to have an endoscopy next week and they've said it'll be under sedation so you may even get to be spaced out too 🙂
Good luck big'un, you'll be reet man.!
Hope it goes well and that you get a diagnosis this time.
all the best dude
All the best ton, you'll be fine! 😀
Good luck - I hope all goes well.
All the best ton, hope all goes well.
Best wishes - hope it goes well.....
Report back soon! 🙂
Good luck fella! See you on Feb 4th, hopefully on your bike.
Do they use the same endoscope for looking in either end of a patient?
I'd be asking some serious questions about where the thing they're about to stick in my gob has been that day!
Good luck ton!
Dave
Good luck big man!
You'll be fine, give 'em some stick! 😀
[i]Do they use the same endoscope for looking in either end of a patient?[/i]
It's the wire brush and Dettol joke brought right up to date.
Good luck Tony! Look forward to seeing you out on some of the NC rides soon!
Good luck Ton, hope it all goes well
i swallowed like a good un................ 😉

Good news. Now go and read this
http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/at-what-point-does-it-become-a-motorbike
😀
Good stuff ton. Have a good weekend on that. 🙂
That's one out of the way! Fingers crossed for you for Friday 😀
HR 108??? I guess that's supposed to be "resting", though I'm sure anxiety must be a factor.
Nice one, if you get to the point where you feel like an eighteen year old again...... Go for it! 😉
Please for you Ton. Nice one
Good stuff, sounds like you'll be ditching the motor by next summer then? Nice timing. 🙂
or could've been while they explained where the endoscope really had been that morning 😯HR 108??? I guess that's supposed to be "resting"
Looking forward to seeing you out on the bike again.
You can always play 'stoker' on the back of our tandem to get you warmed up again 😉
