We woke up today to find that Kim's grandmother had suffered a heart attack in the night and been taken to hospital. She's better now and resting comfortably, but being kept in for observation and testing over the next few days. Obviously this turn of events means we're probably not going to have much time to write posts for a while as we concentrate on real life, so I just wanted to let my readers and friends know that we're both going to be here only sporadically for a little while.

Basically we'll still be here on and off and may comment on things or even joke around with you, but please don't be offended if we don't comment on your posts. Also, while we both have some posts ready to put up, these can run out quickly and our pages may go quiet all of a sudden, so we didn't want anyone to worry.

Thanks for posting this, I didn't really feel like it :heart:

Darko 3. September 2009, 10:00

I hope she will be all right :up:

Moesring 3. September 2009, 10:09

There was a (suspected) heart attack round these parts not long ago so I know how all-consuming these things can be when they happen. awww Not meaning to sound as though I know what you're going through - but I feel that I can sympathise with not being on a lot as a result of getting such drastic news so suddenly.

Is it definitely a heart attack? The heart-attack blood test came up positive? (I have no idea what the test is called - just that it is a test for the presence of something in the blood that indicates heart damage - and the test is done as close to 12 hours after the suspected incident as possible.)

I'm sure you don't need me to say that you two should take as long as you need. :smile:

Fanny 3. September 2009, 10:12

I'm sorry to hear about your gran, Kim. Hope she'll be ok :smile:

Purpleday! 3. September 2009, 10:12

They're calling it a minor heart attack but they're testing her for a few days. If they're still not satisfied they're sending her to another hospital that specialises in coronary care.

David Scott Aubrey 3. September 2009, 11:36

Well at least she's getting proper care, then. You guys take whatever time you need. We'll be thinking of you.

Dacotah 3. September 2009, 13:53

Thank you Mik for letting us know.
Take care.
Kimmie xXx

Pineas2 3. September 2009, 14:30

Is that the grandma Kimmie has lived with some years ago?

Hi all, thanks for the kind thoughts. I just put this up in explanation cause we didn't want anyone to think we're being off with them during this period.

Yes, this is Kim's gran that brought her up.

Purpleday! 3. September 2009, 16:02

Thanks for your well wishes. Yes Pineas, I've only one grandmother.

Dennis 3. September 2009, 16:07

Fwiw, my thoughts and prayers are with you and all you hold dear! *hugs*

Purpleday! 3. September 2009, 16:11

Thanks dude.

Dacotah 3. September 2009, 17:08

Mik and Kimmie, how is she feeling now? I'm glad they kept her in to do more tests. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Kittylicious 3. September 2009, 17:48

I'm sorry to hear about your grum, Kimmie, and I hope that the doctors are satisfied with the tests, and that she'll be back home soon! :heart:

I have had two. Take my word for it, there is no such thing as a MINOR heart attack. Take good care of her. She will be in our prayers.

Purpleday! 3. September 2009, 20:05

You know what? I don't want to discuss this. Sorry. I'm done watching this post.

Purpleday! 3. September 2009, 20:16

^that was a little harsh so I'll explain.
I am grateful for well wishes, so thanks everyone. I am just very uncomfortable with people asking me questions and giving me stories, and frankly, I don't even wanna hear stuff about this from people who don't even know a thing about me, which is why I've unsubscribed. All my friends will see this post anyway to explain my absence, and the people who visit here that aren't my friends, well... It's not their business anyway really.

Rick 3. September 2009, 20:51

Sorry, Mik. I meant well.

The Once And Future King 3. September 2009, 21:20

Kim and I both know you meant well, but things are on edge at the moment and the reason I made this post was to say we aren't being ignorant or snappy with no reason. We've got stuff in our lives that is taking priority to everything else.

I appreciate you were trying to warn us that any coronary event is a serious one, but we know that anyway and it was bad timing, coming across as "it's worse than you think" or something similar to already worried minds. Posts like this are hard to comment though. You want to help the person somehow but don't know what to say, especially when you don't really know everyone involved.

I've passed your apology on and it's been accepted, though this post is too upsetting for Kim at this moment in time so she wont be returning. I shouldn't have made this public to be honest but I was a little shell-shocked this morning and just wanted to explain what was happening to people.

Rick 3. September 2009, 21:43

I understand.

The Once And Future King 3. September 2009, 22:14

I do it myself all the time. Homer: Doh! Ask anyone here.

Purpleday! 4. September 2009, 12:30

We have sorted this out now. I was far too emotional and irrational yesterday :lol: . Sorry to all who may have been offended - I shouldn't have been online until I'd processed the events that happened.
Thanks to all once again - I texted her this morning and she seems to be feeling much better today :happy:

Dacotah 4. September 2009, 17:34

:hat: Great news Kimmie. I'm so happy to hear this.
:happy:

Kittylicious 4. September 2009, 21:24

Oh goodie! :YAY: That's great news! :heart:

Purpleday! 4. September 2009, 21:35

Yeah, I'm really, really pleased. She's been moved to the other place now, they're doing an angiogram to see if she needs a thing put in her heart valve, it's either a stent or a shunt, I don't remember, but apparently she's chatty and bright as normal. *does a happy dance*

Bud McDonnell 4. September 2009, 21:42

Sorry to hear about this. Hope eveything turns out well.

Purpleday! 4. September 2009, 21:44

Thank you, Bud(?). Things are looking up :up:

Bud McDonnell 4. September 2009, 21:53

Good to hear! I don't comment much but I do read and feel a certain connection. Best wishes!

Purpleday! 4. September 2009, 21:55

Thankies, much appreciated :D

David Scott Aubrey 4. September 2009, 23:26

Excellent news! I'm glad she's feeling better! I was worried about you all. :heart: :smile:

Dacotah 4. September 2009, 23:26

Stints will help if she needs them.
:smile:

Purpleday! 5. September 2009, 07:43

Thanks David, I'm happy too :heart: .

I know Carol, if she needs it in her valve she'll be much better. :up:

Cois 5. September 2009, 10:56

:frown: sorry.. Been absent last few days and never saw this.. Hope your gran is doing fine..

Purpleday! 5. September 2009, 11:31

She's good, mate. Mik saw her yesterday and she seems well :happy:

Dennis 5. September 2009, 14:39

That's good news! :smile:

Cois 6. September 2009, 10:14

:cheers: I'll drink to that :D that's uhm.. A non alcoholic toast :rolleyes:

Dennis 6. September 2009, 16:32

What is that, Root Beer? :eyes:

Dennis 6. September 2009, 16:34

Wait! when did you quit drinking?! :left: :yikes:

The Once And Future King 6. September 2009, 16:36

When the bar closed. :devil:

Dennis 6. September 2009, 17:03

forever?! :faint:

The Once And Future King 6. September 2009, 17:11

It only felt that way as he stumbled home, realised he'd forgotten his lighter and lit cigarettes from each other after getting a light from a passing superhero.

David Scott Aubrey 6. September 2009, 22:58

Superman? The Human Torch? The Molten Man? Firebrand? Firestar? The Vision ... ? :wink:

The Once And Future King 6. September 2009, 23:25

Firestar. She was my second crush. :o:

Dennis 7. September 2009, 00:35
