Heart Attack!

Well had a stressful weekend, some family problems, and thought I had a panic attack, later discovered it was actually a heart attack.  Not the classic symptoms, (trust me to be different....lol) had a bit of a stabbing pain in between the shoulder blades, but it didnt last long.  As a precaution we rang the ambulance and I was busy apologising profusely when they arrived because the pains had all stopped, and the breathing was normal again.  They hooked me up for an ECG, and informed me that I had in fact had a heart attack and was going to hospital.
Had an angiogram and a stent put in, this was done through the radial artery in my wrist, which is a new technique, and is less problematical than through the groin.   Only have to keep your arm still for 4 hours.... which is easier to do.
Wasn't allowed to drive for a few weeks following the Heart Attack, and am now recovering at home, taking things easy and appreciating life.
Mr Fabulous was fantastic, he stayed with me every chance he got, took days off work to be with me, and really made me realise I had made the right decision in being with him.

Moving to Richmond

Well Mr Fabulous and I really enjoyed our break away together, and discovered we had so much in common, that we decided to move in together.  So I spent a few weeks whizzing up and down the highway transporting odds and sods from my place at Maydena.  Sorting through belongings and pricing things for the market at Bushy Park.  I was lucky to find some tenants for my place, so that made the move quite cost effective.
Mr Fabulous is very hardworking which made moving in a great idea as he only has one day a week off, this way we can see lots of each other. I have met his family and he has met mine, we are planning a mainland holiday in order to meet extended family in South Australia and Queensland.
