about where I've been for the last week, so I tell you. I've had a heart attack and had to stay in hospital until last night. Fine now though.

Sorry to hear it Cologne, hope you're feeling much better
Bloody hell col
How did it happen, what are the docs saying, how are you coping?
I'm glad to hear you're ok now, cologne. It must have been a really scary experience
Actually I really did notice you weren't around. I really and truly hope you're feeling better and that it'll all be OK
How frightening for you!
Hope your feeling better Cologne.. sorry to hear that
I was wondering where you were! That must have been scary, I hope you're feeling much better now
Awww Cologne. I am so sorry. I have to be honest I have been really very busy myself and only popped in and out of here so didn't really notice who was here or not
Anyway I hope you are feeling better now - scary thing to happen.
Is your little cat okay? I bet she missed you loads xxx
Awful to hear Cologne, I hope you're feeling much better now
I saw you in Crunchy's C5 forum thread early yesterday evening, had no idea you had been ill. Hope you're feeling better now?
OMG Col, hope your feeling better now..you must have been so scared....
Bloody hell...glad to see you're on the mend. xxx
Didn't notice you weren't here Col, but so many folk dip in and lurk nowdays rather than post solidly that it's hard to notice someone missing.
Really shocked to hear about your health. Hope that the docs can do something to help you out and manage the problem xxx
so sorry to hear this - hope you are feeling better - take care
What happened was that I had made a bechamel sauce on Wednesday and burnt it, so Thursday I put some water and fairy in the pot and put it on the cooker to soften, but it boiled dry without me noticing and I started to breathe in the fumes and then from one second to the next, could not breathe. I couldn't even move my hand, never mind getting the phone and speak. That went on for about 30 minutes, after which I managed to breathe very rapidly, but was left with bad pain in my left arm and across my upper body. Unfortunately, it started again 2 hours later and when it didn't stop, i reached by my feet for sleeping tablets, took 3 and thought if they don't kill me, they'll give me some respite. Next thing I know is being woken by my cleaning lady who instantly called my quack and my daughter and I was in hospital an hour later. Although I had a heart attack the docs think it happened because my heart couldn't cope with the lung problems, I've had an angiogram and an echo sound and they both show my heart to be fine. Still, I'm on 14 additional tablets apart from my lung med. Thanks for your replies. I seem to be a bit too precious these days. Sorry.
Hope your feeling better now Cologne
OMG Cologne!
I had noticed you weren't around, but thought you were just having a wee break from the forum.
Do you have family and friends around, who can help out?
Cologne Take care of yourself x
Thanks mrmincepie and yogi. Yes, I'm feeling much better and yes, my daughter and grandchildren are around. I even have my son for six weeks . He's starting a commando course in Barnstable today. That's only about 90 minutes from my place.

Hey, I've just had a haircut, which usually signalls new beginnings for me, so onwards and upwards.
Brisket, many thanks for your kind thoughts.
One thing you're not is precious col You're straight down the middle.
Sounds like a wee horror story you went through but you came out the other end thank goodness
Good news on the heart results though and your cleaning lady sounds like a wee gem
Bloody bechamel sauces

bechamel sauces are in the past.
i`m sorry to hear that... hope all is well for you now x
Sorry to hear that Cologne, glad to hear you are feeling better now!.
Cologne, what a scary experience. Thank goodness for your cleaning lady. The important thing is that you are still here.
It does sound as if the fumes meant that there wasn't enough oxygen in your blood (rather like carbon monoxide poisoning) and thus causing the heart attack.

That is exactly how the docs explained it. I think the only reason I survived was that the fumes naturally drifted out the window and subsided rather than a faulty equipment which would carry on doing the damage.
