Father's Day emergency

Well this will be a fathers day to remember...

We left Birchington at around 10.00am after giving Del's Dad (Len ) his card and present. We then got to Al's Mum & Dad's (Pam & Alf) at around midday and spent the afternoon with them. Alf opened his card and present and Al cooked dinner, she started it around 4.oopm.

Pam was starting to get chest pains, and we had to phone the doctor for advice in the end..."When you put the phone down to me you must dial 999" the doctor said. Blimey! We had not done that before, but Pam was looking a bit pale...They were there in about 20mins and after a few tests she was taken to hospital in the ambulance... We followed her in after turning off the dinner, and further tests were made in the emergency ward when we arrived. The paramedics were brilliant and were very knowledgeable and professional. They had to keep her in overnight as one of the tests took 12 hours to get the results. By this time the pain had subsided, but they still wanted to make sure things were stable. After getting her tucked up in bed we left at around 10.00pm, and we were starving. When we got back we had the dinner that Al had cooked earlier at 10.30pm. We then went to bed on full stomach's very worried.......
