Health deteriorated , slowly discovered I had angina ,

Then was put on medication but health was still getting worse, then I was took into the golden jubilee for my operation

Hospital was great as were all the staff released 1 week later then roughly 9 weeks later started my cardiac rehab between visits from Gartnavel hospital and Clydebank leisure centre getting bloods checked medicines reviewed and started my physio at the gym same again all the staff were excellent very helpful with information and building confidence with my strength and fitness , so now I have returned to work after 16 weeks and feeling much better and getting back to normality , with thanks to everyone from the nurses to surgeons then the rehab team
