Step One

To the hospital this morning for my pre-angiogram assessment. My appointment was for 11.00 am and I was finished before noon -- so no complaints there about the system.

This was just about getting an ECG done, having a blood sample done, and going through a checklist of symptoms and health background. It was all very quick and very efficient. Actually, I would have been finished sooner if it hadn't been for a slight misunderstanding which saw me spend ten minutes unnecessarily in the ECG waiting room.

I'm due back back on Friday morning for the actual angiogram. In the mean time I was given a further checklist of further details to provide and things to do and not to do, as well as this background booklet about the whole business.
