All ready now!

[Potter52]

I’m at Wythenshawe this afternoon and my Op is tomorrow. Had a phone call this morning telling me I have a change of Surgeon and as well as my AVR, I’m having a double bypass. In for a penny, in for a pound eh? I won’t know anything about it-until I wake up! Thanks for all your good wishes and hope you’re all ok. God bless 🙏

[Healthyheart1]

Good luck with everything, im sure you won't need it. See you on the other side x best wishes Sheena x

Best wishes - ten weeks on from a valve and graft section of aorta and it was so worth it. Feel better today than I have for a couple of years. But please remember recovery is slow and it is hard not to get impatient. Take it very easy when you get home.

Will be thinking of you, everything will be ok, you will be back home before you know it, and then you will be on the mended heart road.

Good luck and very best wishes Pauline

[Potter52 in reply to 080311]

Thank you very much a Pauline. All the very best to you also. Alan

[080311 in reply to Potter52]

Just wanted to say thinking of you this morning, you will be great, and then on the road to recovery.

Sending you lots of luck and best wishes.

Pauline

Thank you. Take care.

Once you get into the admission phase the sheer professionalism will help relax you. I enjoyed a coffee and a small piece of cake before I went in but now options are lmited! Glad I did though as ward tea and coffee was warm and wet, and memorable for the wrong reasons! Before it you will wake in ICU.

Good luck!

[Potter52 in reply to MichaelJH]

Thanks.

I am at home recovering from a quadruple bypass at the mri , they have this off to a tee , although I was a bit scared like you I thought well I will not feel anything, they manage all the post op pain very well and wythenshaw has an excellent record , don’t worry you will be fine . Allan 👍

[Potter52 in reply to Stockport1958]

Thanks mate. I’m feeling strangely calm.

[Stockport1958 in reply to Potter52]

Yes funny enough so was I , although it is a major op and they scare the life out of you with what could go wrong, they do so many and the teams are so well trained that it’s become quite routine in some ways , they monitor you very well after the op and control the pain very well, although everyone is different I was at home after 5 days of the op

And like I said wythenshaw has a truly excellent track record

Take care and hopefully we can catch up post your op 👍 Allan

[Potter52 in reply to Stockport1958]

Thanks Allan. Alan

[Potter52 in reply to Shoshov]

Thanks very much.

[Shoshov in reply to Potter52]

not that you’ll need it.

[84green]

All the very best Alan. Sounds like you’re in a good place. Look forward to hearing about it when it’s all done. Best wishes. Dave

[Potter52 in reply to 84green]

Thanks Dave. Just arrived on the Ward now.

[marypw]

Good luck, the staff just do it routinely so leave everything to them! My husband had a triple and did great - you will too.

[Janma123]

Hope everything goes well for you. Take things steadily as you recover.

[MountainGoat52]

Keep positive and look forward to doing those things you just haven't been able to. 😀

[Jackdaw44]

Best wishes, take care. 😃

[Hidden]

Good luck dude! I had a double bypass done in Feb and feel so much better for it now.

[Potter52]

Hi all, Thanks for all your best wishes. Op went well, out of CCU and back on Ward now-hopefully home by the end of this week.

[080311 in reply to Potter52]

Hi, Alan, so pleased all is well, you are now on the heart mended road. Remember easy does it when you get home,

Best wishes Pauline

[Stockport1958 in reply to Potter52]

Apologies only just seen your text , very good news , hopefully you will be home by the end of the week 👍Allan

[Potter52 in reply to Stockport1958]

No problem Allan. Thanks for your support mate. Alan

[Stockport1958 in reply to Potter52]

If you feel up to it try and keep mobile, do what the physio tells you because they won’t let you home unless you pass the physio test , which isn’t difficult to be honest , tomorrow will be a month since my operation and I am doing ok but have had to come to terms with not rushing things , I have definitely noticed my progress from when I first came home but it’s gradual, I tried to do to much to soon so don’t do that , daft as it sounds the hard work starts when you get home , but the big job has been done , look after yourself and if I can help with any questions however small just ask

Regards

Allan

[Stockport1958 in reply to Potter52]

How are you getting on ?

[Potter52 in reply to Stockport1958]

Hi, I’m just awaiting my medication and then home at about lunchtime-time. All my stitches have been removed, I’ve still got a bit of breathing restriction on my left-side but I can work on this at home. All good at present thanks. How are things with you? Alan

[080311 in reply to Potter52]

Hi, so pleased you are getting ready for home, remember baby steps rest when you need to listen to your body, and welcome to the mended heart road.😊

Best wishes Pauline

[Stockport1958 in reply to Potter52]

Wow that’s excellent, I had to wait for a week after returning home to have my stitches out , good for you and I wish you a speedy recovery 👍 Allan

[84green in reply to Potter52]

Great news mate. Sounds like you’re doing really well. Safe trip home and good luck with the recovery. Best wishes - Dave

[Stockport1958 in reply to Potter52]
