Sending thoughts and prayers once again Callmack as you know! You take care and be with all the family.

I'm am extremely and utterly saddened by the news.

I can tell both your parents and Grandfather brought you up very well!

RIP to your Grandad. A great great man!
Thanks very much bro, much appreciated.

On another note, sorry Itsa, I didn't mean to make this thread about me.

Are you okay now? Just rest up.

This thread is actually quite timely for my family and I. I wish to share this with you all so you're not left wondering what's going on with me.

Sadly, my much loved Grandad suffered a massive heart attack on Friday night which was very traumatic for all involved as he had to be revived numerous times and was not in a good way at all. He had to be air lifted to Waikato Hospital (the major Hospital for heart stuff over here) where he kept his fight going but it didn't look good. My whole family and I spent two days in ICU but things weren't looking good since when they started to bring him out of sedation, he showed signs of no (to not much) brain function.

It is with great sadness that we had to let him go on Sunday afternoon and he passed peacefully surrounded by family.

I'm absoulutely devastated. You know it's coming, you just don't expect it to be that sudden and that soon. Him and I were also incredibly close and he was the biggest mentor in my life outside of my parents so yea, words can't describe the hurt I'm feeling. I just loved him so, so much.

R.I.P Grandad, love you forever and for always. One of my biggest mentors, one of my harshest critics, one of my favourite men. When I'm your age, I hope I'm half the man you were.

My thoughts are with you & your family---a family loses a tremendous amount of guidance & knowledge when a respected grandfather passes on---it certainly appears that his mentoring has paid huge dividends to your family;especially in you!

Callmack all my love and best wishes to you and your family,your Grandfather would be very proud of the man his Grandson became.
May he rest in peace and look down upon you all until you meet again.

You'll be right too mate.

As good as new in about a month after the recovery. Probably have a bit more energy too!

Did you have any symptoms in the lead up like a few hours before, or it was just so sudden??

After the surgery do they keep you sedated and not awake for like 72hours??
I had a few little dizzy spells and some hot flushes accompanied with the feeling of anxiety and heart flutters.
This happened a few times 2 days before Anzac Day then on Anzac day I was walking through the corso at Manly and out of the blue BANG!
Me being me just tried to walk it off and suck in the big ones,I managed to get back enough comfort to get home again as I didn't want to be stuck into Manly hospital so far away from family and friends.I had another one early Thursday morning tried to walk it off but I couldn't even suck in the big ones this time and handed the car keys to my wife and said it's time to get this looked at and hence here I am.

Oh wow. Lucky mate it's been found out!

You didn't wanna go hospital on Wednesday night?

Did they put you pretty much straight through at hospital? Hope they didn't keep you waiting hours!!?

Fellas this is a true story,unf**kingbelievable.I've just been transported to have an ultrasound and I was mentioning the fact that I have discovered a whole ward in Auburn Hospital that is empty it has all the beds and equipment in it.
You ready for this the government rents it out to Home and Away and any production team that needs a hospital ward and keeps it empty for any major emergencies that may occur.

Typical NSW Health. Run by ratbags. I have a part time job in theatres and I can tell that morale is at an all time low because the organisation is dollar driven.
Absolutely disgraceful the way they are grinding the staff into the ground.

Been thinking of you today Itsa.

I know you'll be out if it for quite a while and a fair recovery ahead of you plus not up to it for at least a week to talk a bit, but prayed that it all went well!

Recover well Bunny bro:D

On another note fingers crossed STID hasn't had any issues with the fam. He's been extremely quiet lately which is not like him!

I'm off to the doc for a few health things tomorrow. Plus let's just say my family is having a real rough trot health wise.

In fact it seems quite a handful of us Bunnies on here are struggling lately! I guess it can only get better!

@Itsamansgame sorry mate didn't mean to spoil your thread.

Hi Fellas
Had the misfortune of having 2 bloody heart attacks on Anzac Day,neither dropped me though,I'm stuck in hospital at the moment awaiting a triple bypass on Wednesday.
They've told me to just relax and not to get stressed,lol being a Bunnies supporter.

One of the most passionate bunnies supporters on here. Hope you’re feeling all good brother. You’re obviously one tough bunny taking 2 heart attacks in one day!

I’m gutted for you callmack. I know how much my grandad means to me and that would kill me as well. I hope it gets easier for you in the coming weeks. I’m sure he was the proudest that a grandad could be of their grandkid.
