Another op

Smudgebuttonjessie profile image

I’m 4 weeks post 2nd op as some of you know i had bypass 14 weeks ago and lots of complications followed til it was discovered one of the grafts had failed resulting in 2nd op. Emergency surgery at the time seemed to have fixed me or so i thought, i being doing really well then i’ve just received a letter from my cardiologist that he wants to do another op to finish what he started during 2nd op but couldn’t do to me being so poorly. So the New Year will begin with planning for another op rather than planning my return to work.

I will remain positive and look forward to a welcoming a New Year as 2020 is one i’ll never forget. Happy New Year to you all, stay safe xxx

Planned is much better than an op done in a crisis emergency situation. Not the most fun way to start a new year, though, having to rethink planning from a return to work to planning instead for another op.

Happy New Year to you and yours, here's hoping your op is set for very soon, isn't delayed and your recovery is quick and uncomplicated!

Sorry to hear that more work is required to get you fully sorted, but pleased that you are keeping positive. Let's hope the op is soon. My best wishes for this and going forwards through 2021.

Kindest regards, Gerald
