It will be so lovely to have him home!

I hope you will be able to have time for yourself to pause and look after yourself too.

Yes feeling totally wreaked with all the stress at the moment but so relieved.

Great news, bet you will sleep well tonight, you must feel exhausted. Remind him when he gets home to take it easy, just for a little while.

Best wishes to you both Pauline

Nice to hear had stent a year ago... so any questions feel free... first 3 months after stent is always the hardest then it gets easier... he will need group support...

[tessadog in reply to SmokeAKipper]

No group support due to virus your on your own apart from phone support!!! already had a stent start of May X

[SmokeAKipper in reply to tessadog]

Group support as in us lot here ... one thing I done is I printed out the side affects of the drugs I’m on ... if he’s struggling they may need to be amended once he’s over first 2 months.. stay safe

[Tessie28 in reply to SmokeAKipper]

Hi, hubby has angiogram Tuesday. Can you tell me what to expect should he have stents? I am only 4 months post AVR so a lot to deal with. Thanks, Teresa

[SmokeAKipper in reply to Tessie28]

Ok with stents op is pretty straight forward... he will be awake as it happens... and back in ward after an hour... then they will give him blood thinners... antiplatelets... aspirin.. I was on some that started to have an affect on my emotions.. so I would recommend printing out the side affects... if he has any issues with drugs... speak to doctor... get cardiologist.. it’s takes 2 to 3 months to settles... he will get bruising... due to blood thinners... and will be tired.. so take it easy first month then start exercising slowly... but your doctor should go through all of this.. make list of questions for doctor... if you have BUPA... ring nurse for advice... one of the big problems I had was the emotionally side... and I’m not emotional... it’s the drugs ! So at some stage they may lower dosage if they affect him mentally... stay positive... avoid negative people...

[Tessie28 in reply to SmokeAKipper]

Thank you, doesn't help me having the anxiety and depression, which hit me hard again following my op. So i'm one of those negative people I need to avoid!!! Luckily he is the opposite and is not worried at all. Thanks Teresa

[SmokeAKipper in reply to Tessie28]

Yah depressions a bummer... it’s probably the biggest problem ... but we’re survivors... I’ve turned vegan after my cardiologist recommended this life style and he also recommended madnesium citrate powder as post heart patients he said lack it... it helps with tiredness.... hit me up if you need to chat

[Tessie28 in reply to SmokeAKipper]

Thanks very much

[Stockport1958]

So pleased to hear your news 👍

[Tessie28]

Good news indeed. Hubby having angiogram Tuesday and I have everything crossed. Why did they cancel his bypass may I ask? Thanks, Teresa

[tessadog in reply to Tessie28]

When the consultant in Leeds (He is in another hospital) looked at the images decided stents would be a better option unfortunately this took 1wk while he sat in hospital thinking he was having a bypass!!! Hope all goes well with you both X

[Tessie28 in reply to tessadog]

Ah thanks for that. I'm a nervous wreck just now... he is relaxed as usual. Apart from being in afib and a bit of shortness of breath he is really well. We only found out by accident. Turned out to be a lucky accident as when I told our GP hubby was in afib he said oh don't worry we don't need to do anything! Scary times. thanks, Teresa

[tessadog in reply to Tessie28]

Sounds exactly like us, just picked him up from hospital very tired but can now get better X

[tessadog in reply to tessadog]

Took 3hr to do stents was very complicated but had a fantastic consultant X

[Chaika]

Great news

[tessadog in reply to Chaika]

Thanks X

[Handel]

That's brilliant news. Hopefully, as I'm writing this, hubby will be lounging in an armchair ringing a bell for his afternoon tea?!!!

Seriously though, we're so glad everything went well. Take good care of yourselves xxxx

[tessadog in reply to Handel]

Thanks so much won't repeat that may give him ideas!!!! X

[Handel in reply to tessadog]

I made the mistake of buying a hand bell for hubby after his quad bypass!! Biggest mistake ever!!!

Lots of love to you both xxx

[tessadog in reply to Handel]

🤣🤣🤣 no bells in this house X

[Tyke1]

Great news, hope he’s feeling like a new man, onwards and upwards from here on for you both, best wishes x

[tessadog in reply to Tyke1]
