CuddlingSoul: Hey Lolette... Well I think that was a long lived life for him. It depends on the person and we all have different physical makeups and abilities. A heart attack will destroy heart muscle. Thank you for the compliment, but remembering medical terms were sort-of forced on me. Had to remember what to tell the next specialist, then the next specialist and so on.
Cudd,, that's true, the times i had passed in the ICU with those terms those doctors telling me, half of them i got,, but the most important it seems i don't understand,, so i was forced to buy a Medical Book to be able to understand clearly and kow to manage and live with them, there's a before and after ,, but everything went fine, just more precautions ,,

Lindzi: I'm due for one soon and would really like some advice on recovery time and dos and donts. Thanks. Xx
Hey girl.... good morning to ya...
The gentleman (from my hometown of Gadsden) that gave you some advice, was very informative, and helpful for you...
I had a triple bypass back in 03/03/03 (how you like them numbers, makes it easy to remember)... I'm now 66, and just went for my 12th year Nuclear Test, and was told I was doing well.
There are going to be different outcomes to each individual situations. But with the advancement of medical technology today... you should do just fine... it's just the "unknown" that is scary... (or it was for me)... Just remember, your medical team is there to make sure you are a success... this procedure is done many times everyday, and techniques have improved immensely.... Recovery is different for each individual...
The day I got out of the hospital, and on the way home... I went by a local appliance store, and purchased a new refrigerator (old one needed replaced) so, it was business as (almost) usual... Good luck to you, and may God be with you throughout the whole thing, holding your hand.

My Dad did, A five by pass. After ,the convalescent period depends on the rehab. You blow in to this thing you bring home making the ball go up. Keep that up , do it all you can then more. Right after you feel pretty weak, depressed. That changes quickly. !!), does not last long.My Father was up in age , came threw it beautifully. I know from many people,it all goes great. Just like plumbing in a house. It is such a safe procedure. Think positive, Breathe. You will probably, before a year is over be better then ever. Be happy , no matter what keep a smile, a good attitude. You will be surprised. I know I was.
PEACE HH

I had a heart attack fifteen years ago, two stents. I had virtally no heart damage, went back to sprinting ,not just jogging in a year. The stents and surgery were a piece of cake and painless.
Best wishes and a prayer for you, today heart surgery has advanced light years from my early years.

thanks Raph, Hi Felixis.
I'm going in on the 5th if the hospital admin mummies can sort the paperwork out. Read thru the thread. Everyone has been so helpful and the advice is awesome. Take care and keep in touch. Xx

Thanks pet.
I'm already on aspirin because I had a stroke about a year ago.
I'm quite independent and diabetic so I'm worried about recuperating time. I've got two caregivers ready to help. Ones a chain smoker and the other is a good intentioned aspie... So wish me luck!

With your diabetes consult with your endocrinologist or pcp about how to manage your care after cabg. first day home i had a hypoglycemic episode and tried to fight with the paramedics that came to treat me. walk as much as you're able as soon as you're able. if outpatient cardiac rehab is offered or available GO! not only is the exercise monitored there is also an educational element. keep friends and family close and don't be stubborn about taking the assistance that is offered. they're offering out of love not pity. good luck and Godspeed.

Believe it or not I still haven't had it yet. There is a stalemate between the hospital and my medical insurance
I've been making calls etc but no one is budging.... Not like I'm getting any better:-(
