Just got back from Amersham Hospital after my cardiology tests. Didn't know what to expect but very pleased as I have now had a very complete heart check up.
First they did an ECG, then I had an ultrasound check of my heart. Than a chat with the cardiologist about my condition. Everything seems to be OK except for the indigestion-type pains that I keep getting and my family history of heart problems. So he arranged for me to have an angiogram at Wycombe at a later date. Then I went for a chest x-ray. Then we came home.
Amersham is a lovely hospital, all new and clean. And the staff are extremely helpful and there was absolutly no waiting. Although we were there for just over 1 hour this time, there was not sitting about waiting for your turn. It just took that long for all the different tests and whipping my shirt and bra off and on again then moving to the next department and then shirt and bra off and on again three times.
Sylvia had driven me there and we did some shopping in Tescos before leaving Amersham.
Now I have to wait another two weeks for a letter with an appointment for the angiogram. But very pleased to wait because I am off to France for a week on Thursday to stay with my friends Richard and Margaret who have a house in the Pyrenees.
