Life with two parents: Just about

My mum had a heart attack yesterday afternoon, followed by an angioplasty.

She was sitting up in bed and drinking coffee by 9pm last night, and seems to be fine now. They're keeping her in until Monday to make sure, but panic over.

Turns out that an angioplasty is nowadays an outpatient operation under local anaesthetic, with over 97% success rate. Modern medicine is awesome. And thank fuck for the NHS!

Glad that she's ok! Myself, I've been feeling the entropy of passing years catching up with me for a while. Hope she'll be ok for a very long time!
