Really looking forward to Christmas and more so the fact I'm still here. Had a major heart attack at about 10.30am on the 8th November, was blue lighted straight to Leeds General and had emergency treatment. Got 2 stents put into a blocked artery near to the Aorta head and spent 8 days in the CCU afterwards. Had tests done after the emergency and found out that I'm back in Leeds hospital early January for triple bypass heart surgery as another 3 arteries are ****ed.. Wouldn't want anyone to go through the pain, vomiting, drenched sweating and feeling that this is it, so my message this Christmas is, just watch what you are stuffing down your throat and neck. You get a pain that doesn't feel right then don't **** about, get yourself in as an emergency. Apparently I had about an hour to live, lost consciousness in the ambulance and had a strange feeling of peace, I could never thank the paramedics or heart specialists enough.. I'm home to enjoy with my girls and will be taking it easy, got a heavy January ahead but **** happens. Have a wonderful Christmas all, go steady and be ready, all the best from Joe..
Jesus mate, so sorry to hear you’ve been so ill, but equally relieved that you’ve obviously had some tremendous care and they’re putting you back together. Take care fella, and don’t overdo it. Have a great one with your family if you’re not on here before then.
Awesome stuff me man, tomorrow is December 1st so officially lets all get ready for a bloody good festive period. Happy times, you'll no doubt enjoy what you've got, can see that. Might stick my banging CD on tomorrow.
My stereo and CD's are about a foot to the right of my head. I looked right, took the pic and posted. No one bangs to the Beautiful South mate, they chill the **** out. Some really good stuff blurred out in the background there, if anyone can spot it.
I've got hundreds and hundreds of CD's. I ditched all of the cases though years ago because I was always on the move. I just take a select few out for the Van these days. Kate Bush, Massive Attack, Tribe called quest, Nenah Cherry, Public Enemy, Sade, Jaco Pastorious
Top right hand corner of my pic. The Blue and White CD is The Smith's - Hatfull of Hollow (Lollz), the one under that is Kate Bush - The Whole Story!
Yeah I just said Hatful of Hollow mate. Didn't spot the Kate Bush album though, so you're off the hook.
What hook? Below Kate Bush is Prince, below Prince is Black Sabbath, below Sabbath is Radiohead. Above The Proclaimers are The Black Keys & Vampire Weekend. Left of that are The Verve, Arctic Monkeys, Gruff Rhys, Belle and Sebastian and Johnny Marr. I ain't on no hook mate.
