Over 2 years since my original pull in fact 2 years 3 months. ( slight indigestion in my chest that disappeared over a week or 2.
Here I sit shaved and naked as the day I was born, it was like shearing a sheep said the HCA.
Well tomorrow it’s all happening, doctor doom and gloom has visited not only am I having a tripe bypass but mr happy tells me I have a valve problem and he’s broken the news ( this is same one who categorically told me I couldn’t have stents as they would not take or fail very quickly and a bypass which turned into a triple) has now broken the news that if a repair fails if needed now tells me I will have an artificial valve, this is after discussing it with his wing man for the operation about having a cow parts inserted which I was more than happy to go with and him telling me at a push could last 20 years which would take me to 3 years off 90.
Dr doom oh no it will only last 7/8 years so the artificial valve will be better, to which I say that’s a lifetime of warfarin for me then if it is replaced, enter a new consent form.
So fingers crossed that a repair is done and when I get out I can definitely raise a glass or 7 for my new beginning or that’s what everyone has told me.
Somehow the slight indigestion I suffered over 2 years has manifested itself into some sort of pain I’ve experienced, no in fact I can walk up hills, no I don’t get breathless or suffer any sort of fatigue.
It does cross my mind do they have me mixed up with someone else.

Hi and great to see you haven't lost your sense of humour 😀 😊 I know what you mean by thinking you have been misdiagnosed 2 weeks before Christmas I had an early present of a heart attack I had 2 stent inserted it was an acute heart attack I was informed I got the impression that they were wondering how I was still alive I'm awaiting a double bypass, anyway I met 2 Doctor Glooms I am of the impression that there a quite a few of them and they think they are cock of the walk
One got the Evil Eye on passing he was sorted 👌..anyway not long after discharge I started walking 10 miles a day and continue to do so
I wish you all the best and will raise 8 glasses tomorrow night for you.
He won't be doctor gloom when he's operating, he will be a fantastic 'mechanic' who will do what's best for you and finger's crossed he'll be a happy chappy when he's fixed you and sees you aprez op!! All the best and hope all goes well xx
hello Zero, just wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 you have the right mindset you will be fine, I think when we are being operated on it’s not In our control so we worry far more but don’t forget as you say, he has a wing man so there are two possibly more looking at your case please keep us updated 😊
