Just got back from the hospital and thank goodness managed to see the Consultant. The prognosis does not lend it self to a heart problem as the pain lasted too long. However it is likely that he has a blood clot. Since they gave him blood thinning injections the pain has gone, the grey colour and clamminess has gone. He is still in hospital awaiting another CT scan.
If it can't be done today they will provide him with medicine and send him home, he will then go tomorrow for the CT scan.
His treatment has been brilliant, they introduced "Barrier Nursing" from the moment he arrived in the A&E department last night. Dr McMillan phoned ahead, when John gave his name to the reception, he was immediately whisked to a private room where a nurse put "isolation stickers" to the doors. He has been kept in isolation ever since. This is too protect him from bugs and infections. Nice one!
We have just taken him a couple of newspapers, orange juice and some fruit, as much to Hope's horror there is no TV in the room.
We will go back at 3.00 and check up on him again and hopefully he will be able to come home with us. He does not want to miss Hope's swimming trials tonight.
