:doctor: :beauty: This will be my last thread for a while. Monday I am going to meet my heart surgen and set up my triple bipass to correct some blockage I have. I have enjoyed being a member of this association, and coresponding with it's members. I thank you all, for your ideas and your great craftsmanship and fellowship. Jim S

I had a triple last Nov. 30th. Little bit sore for a week or so after but the recovery wasn't bad. I actually feel better now than before. The worst part is the low salt diet. I used to use salt quite liberally and that's prolly what got me in trouble to begin with. Good luck.
 
May you will be bathed in HIS glorious light and be back before we have time to miss you! God's speed for a quick return! Be well.......Jan
 
Jim, keep a lookout for nurse Ratchett, you'll be sorry if she gets her hands on you jk. Before you know it you'll be up and getting around as if nothing happened, take care, and don't stress yourself out.

God Bless and keep you...

Jim, You'll be in our prayers.

I had quadruple on Nov. 15th of 1999, at a young age.

Have had stents put in as well. One collapsed and had to have a "stent sandwich" installed as the Cardiologist called it. A stent within a stent.

Knowledge is key. Read "The Great Cholesterol Myth", by a Dr. Sinatra, and co authored by another individual.

My "real" problem was found in a "Cholesterol Particle Test"--LPa. You just take 3 Niacin (non prescription) tablets a day for that. Go to a good Chiropractor--yes I said Chiropractor, they are well tuned in on Nutrition, mine just happens to be a former Pharmacist as well. They can put you onto "non-flush" Niacin. Niacin without the red face side effect.

Just came back home from gym, soon as eye is healed up, 10 days, I'm back to daily pool exercise as well.

:doctor: Well, I saw the DR. Tuesday at last. Looked at the heart vidios and went over the options with him and my wife. Looks like at the least 4 major bypases, and two possible add ons when he gets a better look at them. Sugery is set for Monday morning. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. Bless you all, and peace to everyone. Jim S
 
When my father had triple bypass I was amazed how quickly they had him back home. He was sore a bit but moved fairly well fairly quickly and he's was not in the best physical shape when he went in. The one thing he did hate was the change in diet...not that he kept up with that very long ;)
 
:bananen_smilies051: Well, I may not be jumping up and down like this fellow, but I want to thank you all for the prayers and blessing you put forth. It realy ment a lot to me!! I'm home since the day before Thanksgiving. Heart surgery went quite well. Ended up with new veins to all four chambers. I could have gone home in a week, but the day they were getting me ready my left leg gave out and I couldn't walk. After ten days in rehab I learned how to walk again, and was allowed to go home with the assist of a walker to keep my balance. Today I am walking without the walker and can do everything for myself. Thanks to modern medicine, I have only about a 6 inch straight line cut in my chest which they closed with surgical CA glue. My brest bone is held together with one wire and disposable Zip Ties. No stiches, no staples, no railroad tracks down my chest. The vein they harvested out of my left leg was done with 3 1 inch cuts that required only band aids to close. I had no pain whatsoever with the heart surgery. Only as the leg heals do I feel some pain when I walk. Again thank you all, bless you all, and have a happy holliday season!!!!! Jim S
 
Been there----Quadruple 1999...

Plantman,

We're wishing you the very best. Praying for you too! You will be back here before you know it.

Had quad bypass Nov. 15, 1999. Took about two weeks to start feeling as if I were improving. A month after that I was back to work, a week in the shop and then back to service calls, with a lifting restriction of 25#.

Maybe your Cardiologist could take care of you with stents, had them earlier this year. So much easier on you. Hopefully you can have the closed chest bypass.

Regardless we wish you the very best outcome.

Charlie
