Paul and his angiogram

Well, Paul had his angiogram yesterday and everything seems fine apart from some minor furring-up of one of his heart arteries.  So, he doesn't need any further treatment at the moment, though he needs to stay on his tablets.  The low fat diet will help, as will taking more exercise, but at least it was nothing too serious and the procedure wasn't painful.  He is off work for a week and can't lift anything heavier than a pint with his right hand for 5 days!
And when he told us that, we all fell about laughing!  Why, you ask?  Because he had read the literature from the hospital and it said they were going to go through the groin.  Trying to be helpful, he shaved down there, gonads and all, in preparation for the procedure only to be told they were going in through the wrist!  So he now has a tender wrist and nether-regions that look like a plucked turkey!
Get well soon, Paul and thank you for cheering us up with the funny story about the shaved gonads.  Just remember that this is the wrong time of year to have an appendage that looks like a plucked turkey so don't go exposing yourself to anyone!
