A Quick message of thanks.

blackx · 13 May 2005, 07:52 (Ref:1299680)

I have now had my corrective heart procedure..
Angioplasty and 3 stents were fitted.....
Have left hospital with more tablets to take on top of the ones I already take but the new ones are only for 12 months so there is a light at the end of the tunnel..
The surgeon was unable to enter via his preffered route of the radial artery so had to use the femoral artery.....For those that know the location of this artery it means I am a little sore and walking is a slow painfull process at the moment but will quickly become easier and less painfull..
As most of the people who have been phoning/texting to get updates are marshals then I thought it best to put a global message of thanks on here as most of them are members here also..

So............

Thanks for showing concern and wanting to know how I and my wife are fairing...
See you soon....

Glad to hear the good news BlackX
Hope to see you back in action soon - take it easy!

M Greenslade · 13 May 2005, 09:05 (Ref:1299726)

Blackx, glad to hear that you are on the mend, I know what you are going thro as I had a stent fitted over three years ago, it is a remarkable procedure and there is life after it, I should know! What takes much longer to heal are the emotional scars, so if you need to talk to someone who has gone thro it send me a PM. be pleased to help.

Emotional scars! I've not noticed these despite being in closer proximity than most..............skid marks, yes ; soup stains occasionally; damage due to low ground clearance sometimes......but emotional scars??
But true, there is certainly life afterwards & you are skipping about like an April lamb...in the right circumstances. And it has possibly improved your reactions when flagging!
The Team are really pleased you remain in rude health.

**Woolley** · 13 May 2005, 20:06 (Ref:1300323)

...with the emphasis on rude!

Best wishes, Steve, hope they can take away the pain and keep the swelling. Get well soon,

Chris

Having been exactly that way I can be quite sure you will soon be a lot better. Will you be visiting Shelsley this weekend? If not who is resting their eyes in the van. As they say in Private Eye, I think we should be told!

Best wishes and take care

I cant say for sure but I can say it wont be me

I will however be there on Sunday with my spectator hat on so perhaps I will see you around..

Jim Lamb · 16 May 2005, 21:18 (Ref:1302587)

Steve, Take care, plenty of rest and TLC will get you well soon.
Best wishes from the rest of the 'Flock'! I said Flock!

Regards, Jim

Well............
I didnt manage to get to Shelsley on Sunday but from what I hear there was good weather and enough work to keep marshals and rescue crew out of mishchief

Ended up on Cannock Chase giving my new found health and the kids a workout in the form of football and a 3 mile hike through the chase..

Hope to be at Loton Park this coming weekend...

Well, the very first call of the season was for a rolled Fiesta. I hope it's not starting as they mean to go on!

Pleased to hear you're up and about to such an extent, Steve, sounds very positive. You be wary knocking balls about so soon, won't you?

Red Baron · 17 May 2005, 09:35 (Ref:1302852)

Hi Steve,

Glad to hear that you are on the mend.

Take it easy, hope we catch up with you later in the year, if not then at training next year.

**Stephen Green** · 18 May 2005, 17:50 (Ref:1303938)

Hi Steve, just got home from a business trip and read this post! Hope you are now well and truly on the mend and hope to see you at Goodwood later in the year. Best wishes to all the family and many 'get well soon' wishes to you.

Get well soon M8.

While on the subject of thanks, Thanks to all @ Shelsley for an excellent weekend. It turned out to be a very enjoyable dip of my toe in the water.

For those who haven't heard, Caron's problem from last August has come back again. She went into the local General for a few days on Saturday. She's back home now, but frustratingly, we still have little to no idea about what's actually wrong. She's at home feeling very ill and hoping we can get somewhere soon. I thing boredom is the worst problem at the moment, If you have her number and a few minutes to call - I'm sure she'd like to hear from you

So sorry to hear that Caron is not well - I don't know her personally and don't have her number but I'm around all day on e-mail (via my profile) if she wants to chat.

**Woolley** · 18 May 2005, 23:40 (Ref:1304174)

Steve showed me a bit of his bruise earlier this evening. Very impressive. Anyway, he's looking well and up and about, so good news there.

Al, I've passed on the news about Caron and everyone sends their best wishes. Pleased she's back out now.

You certainly will see me there...
And if you look carefully you will spot me at the British GP this year as I shall be there for 3 days on the rescue unit....

**Stephen Green** · 25 May 2005, 12:53 (Ref:1309829)

Splendid. Are you camping or hotelling?

Not being as affluent as your good self I'm afraid I'll be camping in my little tent...

**Stephen Green** · 25 May 2005, 13:18 (Ref:1309861)

Affluent...me!!!

Like you I shall be in my little tent also, so see you there for the occasional beer? Maybe Mrs Black X could bake us all a little cake

blackx · 26 May 2005, 12:10 (Ref:1310641)

She may be tempted into baking a bannana cake if you like them..

**Stephen Green** · 26 May 2005, 13:59 (Ref:1310715)

Never tried one old chap, but there's a first for everything!

JimW · 27 May 2005, 21:33 (Ref:1312000)

Hi Steve

Glad to hear that you have had the plumbing done; now you just need to get fully fit.

Best wishes.

Jim
