So this is a 4 day long weekend to celebrate Easter, well even if you don’t you still get a long weekend. I planned to spend it with my family, going to the beach and movies. Maybe doing a little DIY around the house before some friends came to stay a couple nights.
Well yesterday all the plans went out the window when I was at work and started feeling really unwell, dizzy, dry mouth, And a tightness in my chest going up into my Jaw. I went into the Dr surgery opposite my building and they took me into the treatment room out the back. The world was spinning, I was having trouble breathing and basically freaking out. The paramedics came and took me to our brand new $3.5 Billion dollar Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
Thankfully my symptoms abated and the blood tests showed it wasn’t a full Heart attack but still the question of what caused this sudden onset of the symptoms? So a cardiac stress test was scheduled for this morning I was moved to one of the really nice private rooms in the cardiac ward, I was feeling pretty good so I though I’d be home by lunch. EXCEPT I failed the stress test!!!
So what’s next, I need to get a Cardio Angiogram...
Only one problem.
I Can’t have it done until Monday so I get this beautiful hotel room like hospital room with 24hr room service until then.
Who knows what this will show but here I stay until they say I can go home or we find out what is causing all this nonsense.
Lucky you are in Australia not sure insurance in the US would pay for a bed while waiting for a test. Hope it turns out ok.

It’s a public hospital. It’s all free.
Australians pay a small levy on our income tax called Medicare.

Thanks mate. Try keep out of the health system in the good ol USA. Or at least make sure you’ve got great insurance.

We have ok health insurance I think the trouble is you don’t know how good it is until you have to use it.

Hope all turns out good, You in the best place and some don't even make it to hospital. Lost my 16-year-old son last summer and he didn't make it out of the house... doe's make us see that life is short and time is so valuable and we don't know what tomorrow will bring. But it doe's reminded us what's really important in life.

Thank you. I told my son @frobear we’re going raw vegan when I get home. I wish I’d captured the look on his face.
They have just opened this new regional teaching hospital, it’s a massive improvement on the previous one. The area I live in is growing very fast and we’re adding over 10,000 residents a year plus tourists so it’s been long overdue and greatly needed. I’m very glad of the comfort but also thankful for the Doctors, nurses and all the support staff.
