Crossed fingers & toes didn't work - got up there at 08:00, at 14:00 I went down, and they used both femoral arteries (painful), they tried nearly every size and shape of wire inside the catheter, and at 17:00 they finally gave up, they couldn't open up the artery, and because of the amount of swelling caused by the procedure, they kept me in overnight, only got home about 3/4 hour ago, they've given me one new tablet Nicorandl twice a day and increased the Bisoprolol to 7.5mg. They are going to have another consultant get together to see where they go from here, so more waiting and the possibility of a bypass
Good to hear from you Bob, but so sorry for the unpleasant time you had :(
Hope they find a more positive solution with much less of the unproductive assault on you!

I've been using a new liquid that I think you'd like - I've just ordered another bottle as I've used 1/3 of it in 24 hours: Chapter X11 Hemingway. It's a Strawberry with Bavarian Cream and Vanilla custard.
The strawberry is a delicate one with the Bavarian cream being a rich thick cream with the custard smoothly blended in. Very nice! :)
They're only 15ml bottles, but I see one site selling 120ml bottles. I'm, also trying the Capote which is pineapple and peach with hints of banana and cream (the site I was on has the description wrong).

Sorry to hear that Bob.Rather a rough time for you.

Yep, and giving me a sandwich to eat whilst horizontal didn't help, ended up getting reflux, and throwing that and a cup of coffee up, and having a massive flatulence problem all night, couldn't sleep, because my legs were so numb from the pressure thingy they attached to the swelling to help get rid of it and the bruising and I wasn't allowed sit up, and you can imagine what the flatulence turned into after having some toast for breakfast - and would they give me some Lopermide - would they F.

So summing it up - nothing good about it!
Hope you're more comfortable now :)

Well I had some lunch up there, went with plain omelette, chips & peas, most of which stayed put, now have a nice big mug of coffee and a Lopermide taken, will see how I feel later before having anything else to eat, home help has cooked meal for the wife, (I'm not allowed to pick up anything heavier than a kettle for about 2 weeks).

Better choose your mods carefully then!

If you are interested Bob,Ecolux have VTC 5's in stock.I've just ordered a pair,limited to 4 per person.
Back in production apparantly.
And FT have listed them today aswell.
4 pairs or 4 batteries, will have a look, but as I have only just got 4 pairs KeepPowers from them, I'll probably wait.

That's interesting. I've ordered them from FT before. Took about 2 months on the slow boat but they were genuine and came in a decent case.

I don't really need any batts at the moment, and I still have 8 of my original VTC5s that I got before they stopped production, and if they are starting up again then they will become available elsewhere as well, and maybe cheaper than £18.99

All true Bob.
Thats why i said if you are interested.
They are being made in China,Sony have moved production finally after the original factory was destroyed.I presume by the flooding.

Edit:The old plant was in Fukushima.

That's interesting, didn't know that, it's where they had that devastating tsunami, that knocked out the nuclear reactors, so makes sense.

Yes cheers Bob.

Think i'll only be buying TC mods from now on Terry.
Was looking at Svapiamo sx350 squonkers but i really should be buying a TC squonker if i'm sensible.
