Evan suffered a heart attack at the end of May. Its actually funny writing about it now... it all seems such a long time ago ... and I always wondered how I would react if Evan had another incident as he had had an angioplasty back 12 years ago and he was always saying to me, "Nah, it will never happen."Well yes, it did happen and it happened when I came to bed one night and he woke up and said I have some indigestion and a weird feeling in the throat. I said to him "Are you ok?" He said "yeah" and went back to sleep.
Well he woke up as normal the next day and went and did the horses, cleaned out water troughs, chopped some wood and came in and said I dont feel well. I pretty much picked him up by the scruff of his collar, threw him in the car and took him up to Warwick Hospital where the lady on Reception came out from behind her desk and took him straight into Casualty.
After a trip to The Wesley in an ambulance on the Friday - he had a stent put in on the Wednesday and was home on the Thursday. Exactly a week from when all this started.
Needless to say being in a health fund made all the difference in the world, however, in saying that, he was treated in the Public System at Warwick and we couldnt fault it. They were fantastic.
So, yes, it is a new life chapter for my Evanski. And things are already different. :)
