Can I show my ignorance and ask what "this" is in the first picture ? It all looks very serious .

you sure your not ment to be resting 😄
Ha ha. No. Modern heart keyhole surgery can be done without any sedation, therefore as much rest as if sedation had taken place isn’t necessary.
Because they went through my wrist, I was not allowed to drive on the road until today. Had they have gone through my Femoral artery, I could have driven in 3 days.

The fact is, that I am far healthier than I was up to 8 days ago. If I feel tired, I’ll stop.
Mind you, I’m on more pills a day than you get in a tube of smarties!

I’d actually be very wound up if I couldn’t work, especially as it is harvest.
A huge consolation is being able to harvest magnificent yielding (Direct Drilled) crops, as early as I can ever remember starting.

If you are asking about my picture, it is the Angiogram/Angioplasty Lab (theatre) at the Jon Radcliffe Hospital at Oxford, where they fixed an artery by my heart that was clogged with Calcium. I watched it all happening on a huge TV and never felt a thing! It took about 40 minutes for them to find it and decide how they were going to fix it. Then just 15 minutes to repair it.

Nets off 1 crop and onto another

Almost too embarrassed to post this compared to what others have done, but parents still housebound due to the Rona so finally finished carting the silage bales.

Found where Houdini was getting through to the silage field.

I think we rather undervalue a lot of our health workers , not only the actual sharp end - surgeons etc , but all the ancilliary workers who make it all possible .
Oooh! I could seriously take issue with that!
Yes, they can do some very clever stuff.
But they made some serious cock-us with me last Monday that could have killed me- twice!

Like doing a blood test and not looking for the markers within it that showed that I had suffered a heart attack.
Which was the main reason for doing the blood test in the first place!
This wasted another 6 hours before they could confirm that I indeed had suffered a heart attack and that it wasn’t heart-burn/indigestion.

If there are only 5 patients in A&E all day, why do they have wait 4 hours to be seen?

The problem is that there are some brilliant staff, but the vast major think they are good, but are in fact not.
Our NHS is in an appalling state and very broken!

As for the Ambulances service, forget it and get to the hospital by any other means you can.
