My Mum finally received her diagnosis after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.

The angiogram indicates that the attack caused one of her arteries to become completely blocked, so it looks like she will be having a heart bypass at some point.

She has been so well cared for over at the QA hospital in Portsmouth since she was transferred on Monday.

I'm more concerned about my Dad as he's started to have a few falls in recent weeks. Just off to see him and walk their dog now. Fortunately my brother lives near Portsmouth so he can get in and see Mum, so I'm not heading over the Solent every day.

Not the Christmas that we'd planned for, but it could be worse!
