Bionic Man.

Following on from last night's information, the Doctor has just been in to confirm (KEMH willing) that they are going to be fitting an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator this evening. Basically it is a device a bit like a pacemaker which monitors the heart and zaps it if it starts misbehaving. When they put it in they are going to test that it works by doing what they did yesterday again and seeing if it stops the problem. This is all going to be done under General Aneathestic (thank God!!)

This is what one of the doofers looks like:



The op isn't until this evening so managed to get a breakfast in this morning, just as well as I was bloody starving again! In the end I went 22 hours without food yesterday and was not looking forward to doing it again today...

Feel a bit violated following a bed bath by the scariest nurse I have ever met... My boundaries of decency have been stretched to the limits after she decided to carry out the whole procedure with the door wide open, to cap it all the mad old bird muttered to herself the whole time as well!

There is a method to the madness - scary mad old birds undertake the bed baths on young men to avoid any embarrassing reactions by "your wee fella".

Good Luck tonight.

Why is it engraved - who the hell's going to see that? Or do they put a window in so everyone can see it. Just imagine "hey, that prat hasn't got anything engraved on his heart thing - its just a plain boring heart thing". Good job they engraved it then. Tom

Is it my imagination or does that engraving read "Vitailty AVT"

Reminds me of my spam folder.
