96RAF Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yes, I'm afraid I need my wife. What sort of heart problem, Bulver? I am 70 now but have suffered with heart trouble since I was 45, when I had 2 heart attacks, the second nearly killing me, a bypass op (zipper club) immediately after, followed by heart failure several times, and I'm now sitting here worked by electricity, with a pacemaker, defibrillator and ventricular resynchroniser in my chest. Marvellous what they can do!I can even plug myself into RailMaster to charge myself up.I am also that magical age, Graskie. My heart condition is called Brugada, it is all to do with the electrics of the ticker, and it is known as 'the sudden death syndrome'! I have been fortunate that although it is hereditary, it has not killed me off! Had to have an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator fitted 6 mths ago in Harefield Hospital so if the heart does go into flutter or fibrillation it will shock it back to normal. I am one of six siblings , trust me to get the problem (but then I have lost. 3 brothers at very early ages to cancer). So I use model railways, and Hornby in particular, as a form of therapy. (That's what I tell my wife, anyway). My problems seem small compared to yours, if I feel a bit iffy, I sit and look at the forum..........Same age group but mine is simple SVT, controlled these many years by beta blockers.

My problems seem small compared to yours, if I feel a bit iffy, I sit and look at the forum..........Same age group but mine is simple SVT, controlled these many years by beta blockers.Nothing simple or non-serious about SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia), RAF. You needed treatment for that. I can't tolerate Beta Blockers, so I have to stay on Amiodarone which, unfortunately, is said to be good for heart arrythmia but destoys eveything else! I had Amiodarone induced thyroiditis a few years ago and it wasn't very pleasant. I originally had ordinary ventricular tachycardia for quite a while, which is, of course, pretty dangerous and needs a defibrillator just in case it goes into full quivering arrest. Mine did that and my defibrillator saved me once. In more recent years I developed atrial fibrillation which sent me all funny because it threw my cardiac device with confusing messages. To cure that I had an AV (Atrial/Ventricular) nodal ablation which cut off the confusing messages from my atria to my ventricles which are now only operated by means of a pace maker set at a minimum of 70 beats per second. I've had a very good year so far with regard to my heart and feel fitter than I've been for a long time, with better but still not perfect breathing and feeling pretty fit physically. I am a very lucky man, but a bit concerned about my loss of taste recently which could well have been medicine induced with the cocktail I have to take and, Im told, could be gone for good. Sorry, those not interested, but I like to help people from my own personal experience if I can, whatever the medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulver Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Regard that defibrillator as your guardian angel, Bulver. Mine went off and saved me several years ago.That I do Graskie, ablation was considered as I suffered atrial flutter, but they are waiting till the ICD settles in, just so grateful to the CCUs at my local hospital and also Harefield, who fitted the device. Glad that it worked for you, and continues to do so for years to come (we are only 70 after all). Anyway, my 'Tornado' is a cracker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Looks as though we need a casualty ward as the next purchase!Dragging the thread back onto the rails, I just bought a Cadbury coal wagon from the Welsh company, left over from the short run from an exhibition (Warley?)Cadbury coal?? Well, They had to keep the workers warm, I suppose! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Triang Trestrols in a "played with condition" Two grey (one with transfers and anther green with NATO on the site all have some damage but I've heard these models were too short so I intend to cut and shut these into one or two proper length models as soon as I can fing a drawing to see how long they need to be.2. Triang (green) bogie well wagon, again for detailing once I can idenmtify the type it is based on.3. The Hornby R6004 Maintenance crane (basically the old Trian version!) which I hope to detail.

LCDR Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Now I have a Mainline 'Patriot' and a 'Jubilee' I intend to do a bit of re-naming, so Modelmaster have just provided me with Jackson Evans plates for 45521 'Rhyl', and 45617 'Mauritius', two places I have a strong attachment to.

Graskie Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Funnily enough, LC, one of my neighbours over the road is an Indian from Mauritious where he owns a family property. Bit of an expensive place to go there, isn't it, though? My chances of ever going there in my state of health are about as dead as a dodo! I have been to Rhyl a few times as well. I even went round their steam loco shed 6K just over 50 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
