To avoid undue stress on Oscar Watford are going to hold the ball and play crablike side to side. Nothing adventurous and nothing that will cause excitement, like scoring goals.
They have been very quiet about OG's illness - we have not been told what it actually was - yet for him to spend over a week in hospital is a lot. When Mrs L had a heart attack back in 2009 she was in hospital for only four days - they had fitted a stent within an hour of her being admitted to Harefield. I wonder whether this was more of a stress related illness.
Having had a couple of breakdowns myself in life, if it's stress it'll take a hell of a lot longer than a week to regain effectiveness. You're right a week is a long time to spend in for what was supposed to be minor chest pain. I still suffer from what I'd call medium to occasionally debilitating chest pain but having had at least 4 ECG's know my ticker is currently strong as a bull. The tests for heart issues are very very quick with immediate results so very odd....
Exactly Aberdeen - it just seems to be more than "simple" heart problems. Stress is a killer and I hope for OG it is less serious
Stress is a vastly underrated condition - from experience of a close relative, it makes one do things and act in a very uncharacteristic way. Its effects on health are still not fully understood. If it turns out to be a choice between the job at Watford (or indeed anywhere in football) or his continuing well being then there is no choice for OG, regardless of how much upheaval it costs the club.
Suggestion last night at the Under 21s game that Garcia has gone back to Spain for treatment Any truth?
He doesn't appear to think so! http://www1.skysports.com/football/...ford-after-hospital-treatment-for-chest-pains
http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/11497466.Oscar_Garcia_given_the_all_clear_by_doctors/ He's back at the training ground but not taking training yet.
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/29366480 Probably no Garcia on Saturday then! This is looking more serious than it should be. Not good news. However, He had taken charge of just one game since replacing Beppe Sannino at Vicarage Road - a 1-0 loss to Charlton - and Martinez and fellow coach Javier Pereira have gone on to oversee a 1-0 win at Blackpool and a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. So maybe we are better off with the latter two.
Any suggestion that it could simply be a heart irregularity like atrial fibrillation? It's pretty debilitating, but not particularly serious. I had several episodes ten years ago. It can be treated with medication, it may need to be put right by electro- cardioversion, or even by laser ablation. If it were something like this, whichever way it is dealt with, he'd need time to rest up for a while afterwards.
I think that we need to relearn our patience. We've become accustomed to instant answers and immediate information. Not entirely sure that's a good thing. Plus the Pozzo's have something of a reputation for not doing their laundry in public in case anyone has forgotten.
worrying.... but yes I was wondering if it was something like that did Tony Blair have something similar?
If you were an employer and and someone comes to seek employment in your stress ridden job would you give it to a person who has Angina with stents in their heart? Of course not, unless you want to employ an extra person to follow him/her around whilst holding a defibrillator. Could Garcia do a Muamba, would it be right for him to carry on. It's time for truths and realities by the Pozzo's on this issue and for watford to crack on trying to gain promotion!
Blair had tachycardia which is a speeding up heart rate. I think they may have done laser ablation on him. It's all to do with electrics. The heart pumps when the relevant chamber receives an instruction to do so by electrical impulse. If a rogue cell is firing off impulses at the wrong time, it's chaos. Like a car engine timing going wrong. Laser ablation zaps the rogue cell. Electro cardioversion ( which I had twice) stops and restarts the heart, hopefully all back in sync. In other words, it kills you for a split second. So I have come back from the dead twice. Mwwahahah! Oh no three times. There was that gig in an Irish pub in Nottingham, where I thought we were going to die when we said we didn't know the Soldier's Song.
Tony Blairs problem was he had lots of Scottish MPs, and one was Gordon Brown. So we call you Golden Zombie. My father had similar in Dublin. After a few drinks his group sang God Save The Queen, to get away from the bad situation they had to sing The Soldiers Song as well and everyone was friends afterwards.
I've learned a lot from watching them over the past 10 years, Vic. After suffering AF, lymphoma and now MS, I've got the T-shirt, read lots of books, consulted Dr Google frequently, taken the drugs. I'm a walking pharmacopaiea except I can't walk anymore!
