An update on discreetlondon's health
(Originally posted on discreetlondonnews)
Hello again, this is Doug. I spoke to discreetlondon's friend Bob last night and got some more details on the heart attack.
It happened last Saturday night, the 15th of July. DL was home alone when it happened. He was able to telephone for the paramedics himself, which probably is what saved his life.
The heart attack was a moderate one and they are still running tests to find out more. He doesn't need a bypass or anything like that. They haven't found any blocked arteries.
Because DL has private medical insurance through his job, he's got his own room in the hospital. His condition is stable and he is conscious, but Bob says he seems very weak and subdued.
I asked Bob about DL's use of cocaine and if it was a factor in the heart attack. Bob says he thinks so, but DL has refused to tell the doctors about his drug use. Bob admitted that DL's cocaine use was why he hadn't been spending much time with him recently.
Even I said something to DL about his drug use and he just ignored me. He ignored everyone. I guess now he is paying the price.
Bob told me DL's ex-wife had been to see him, as had a couple of people from his office. I'm going to try to visit him myself towards the end of this week and will post another update if I do.
I'm sure DL would like to thank you all for the emails you have sent me wishing him a speedy recovery. If any more of his fans would like me to pass on any messages, please feel free to email me on doug@discreetlondon.com and I'll print them out and take them to him in hospital.
