A little update

First, thank you to all the people that have asked how I'm am going on with my journey and now most of the pieces are slotting together I can at last reply.

After angioplasty, the stress mri, etc etc I have just returned from a meeting with a surgeon and a “Mr” Dr.

It appears that I have had a massive heart attack that should have put me on the other side. I have no knowledge of this happening { is that even possible?} and at the moment the heart is running at 20%.

They recommend that I have bypass surgery maybe three grafts maybe four. It appears that this will give me a good chance of life, because without it I'm a heart attack waiting to happen that would damage the heart to maybe beyond repairable. So that's me so far, I thought that I was getting on so well with the medication that has truly changed my life.

Now is the waiting game, I am not scared nor worried, my life has been fantastic even the bad bits. Maybe now I have a chance of a bit more of it........i will let you know.........still a puzzle the heart attack thing..............

What an amazingly positive mindset you have, it will be invaluable going forward. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope your surgery can be done soon. I am nearly 6 months post CABGx2 and feel really good. Keep well and safe xx

Great to hear that the medical team are on your case. I would certainly give a big thumbs up to bypass surgery. I had stents after my HA and was referred for elective surgery and all I can say is that I am pleased I went for it.

As for not knowing about the HA, the same happened to my brother. It could have been masked by other symptoms. He has never found out when it happened.

Keep positive. Bypass surgery can be a game changer. My best wishes for the future.
