00:00How do you say that? I love how you say it.
00:03Ibuprofen.
00:03Yeah, Ibuprofen.
00:04What is it?
00:07Them little tablets.
00:08Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ibuprofen.
00:11Ibuprofen.
00:12I'm on so much medication, right,
00:13and I can't say the words, I can't say them at all.
00:17Bisopropylol and, like, Lanzapropylol.
00:21My dad's on about 30 tablets a day,
00:23and I'm like, I don't understand how you...
00:26I'm on about eight tablets every day.
00:27What is it for?
00:28I've got four stents in me heart.
00:30My goodness.
00:31What does it do? It's helping...?
00:32The arteries from my heart were narrow.
00:35It's the same thing that killed my brother when I was here last time.
00:37Oh, my gosh.
00:38And they told me, this is genetic,
00:39you need to go and get that looked at.
00:41And then my wife, Jackie, is in Galway visiting her parents,
00:45and I'm at home.
00:46I gave her a ring and said, I'm going to have a LIDAR.
00:48I don't feel great.
00:49My jaw's, like, tingling.
00:52Anyway, her sister-in-law's a nurse,
00:54and she said, come to phone an ambulance.
00:55So I didn't, cos, you know,
00:57you don't want to go to the ambulance on your own, dear, to the hospital.
00:59And she was coming home in the morning,
01:01so she came home the next morning
01:02and took one look at me and got on the phone,
01:04and the woman said, we think he's having a heart attack.
01:07Stay with me, stay with me.
01:08The ambulance is on his way.
01:09Stay with us.
01:10What colour is he?
01:11And she went, he's brown.
01:14It's true.
01:15It's true.
01:16So, by now, I'm having a heart attack
01:18and laughing me socks off at the same time.
01:21Right?
01:22And then they put a wire in, which is attached to a balloon,
01:25and then they blow the balloon up,
01:27and then they stick a stent in,
01:28and it goes all the way up there into your heart,
01:31so it widens the artery.
01:32Cos, apparently, I was existing only 35% blood to my heart,
01:36and when they put the stents in, I'm on 100% blood to my heart.
01:40Oh, nice.
01:40What clever technology.
01:41Yeah, yeah, so they saved me, like, you know.
01:44But, erm, the same thing, my brother had the same thing,
01:46but he passed out in his, he was working at a school,
01:49he was a teacher, and he was the only male teacher,
01:51so he had his own dressing room.
01:53How old was he?
01:5452.
01:55I was 50 at the time.
01:57Wow.
01:58I think Craig is really, really brave coming back at you.
02:02Coming back somewhere where you found out
02:06the most devastating news,
02:09must, must be really hard.
