Anton's home

Ant was discharged from hospital on Monday afternoon after his stress test. It seems exercise helped the palpitations at least for a while. We then went to see Ivor Gerber, a cardiologist- thank heavens for medical insurance! He suggested lots more tests and different conditions that he wanted to rule out. He seemed to think that the palpitations are feeling worse because Ant is concentrating on them and if he were more relaxed about them they would lessen. I was impressed that he treated Ant as another professional. "As a psychologist you will understand that..." .

He has a few tests booked in. My favourite is collecting wee for a whole day to check the levels of adrenaline. I can't wait to see the bucket. Just as well he is working from home!

New Year, old problem

Anton went to A&E yesterday as he was concerned about the palpitations he has been having. They have kept him in and are doing a stress test at some point. We are less panicked as a family but worried about him, needless to say.

He has just resigned from the Department of Corrections and has an appointment with a private cardiologist on Monday- if he is out by then.

It's all go in the Ashcroft House, as usual! I just thank god I have some truly wonderful and supportive friends.
