The angiogram did show that my main artery is thin although not dangerously. This with the fact that I am diabetic will probably mean just stepping up the medication. If it were more serious then a bypass would be required. My data etc is being sent to a specialist unit in Morriston, Swansea who will have the final say but to be honest there are too many risks with the bypass and I am on the very first stage of medication so there is a lot of scope there for improvement without surgery. So it looks like it was all caused by a virus ( ) and nothing more serious. I know that this is going to take an awful lot of time to deal with and it's early days yet, but I promise you all my friends that I will beat this and see you at a SAHB event soon. I still have November in my sights although I will have to play it by ear a bit. Thabk you all for your continued love, friendship and support, it truly does mean so much to me.

At last!! At least they now know what is wrong and can treat the condition accordingly, what a long and anxious wait you've (we all have) had, Pete.
Just keep following the doctor's orders

Pete was re admitted to hospital Thursday night with breathing difficulties, he has stableised and hopefully should be out later today. On a down side he has bleeding on his left retina although this is tempory his vision is very very poor. His right eye vision is still impaired after 8 weeks so he is quite down about this.
Love to you all, sorry there's not much good news, I'll keep you informed

Pete's home now and resting. I've conveyed all the messages and pms and he sends his love back.
Most of the fluid is gone, there's just some collecting in the lungs (which is caused by the weakness of the heart's left side) He is a lot chirpier and determined to get well again. His eyesight is too poor to go on the computer so I don't know how soon he will be back on here but I will be his eyes for him when needed.

Petes been back in hospital but will be out tomorrow. It was more precautionary than anything as they wanted to increase his bisoprolol (betablocker) but due to his history needed to monitor him 24/7. All has gone well and he should get the ok to come home.
Thanks to huntvambo for the card and Chris, Elaine and Billy for theirs xxx

Vic and family are safe and sound, only thing that is riuned is his hidey hole wall to wall carpet, soaked through with the rain. He says the trees outside are looking a bit dodgy, and hopes they're not aiming for his house again.

Many thanks HogSTAR - Penny kindly forwarded an email from Vittorio - I'll drop him a line that way. Just thank heaven they are all safe.
