CABG update
I’ve been home since Wednesday evening, so 4 full days and things are ok. I’ve been walking in the garden and slowly building up stamina but it’s taking a lot out of me at the moment. To date, I’ve planned my days (moving stuff about) so that I use the stairs once in the morning to go down and once

Immune Responses + Autoimmune Myelofibrosis
There were some posts a few weeks ago on adverse immune responses after vaccination for people using interferons. I had this experience while transitioning form HU to Peg, firstly with a covid jab last December and secondly with the first of the Shingrix jabs in March, which triggered, at the very least

CABG update
How cool is this ? Love the war wound! Back home last night in the rain - my loving wife drove to the Royal Brompton and home to Bedfordshire in the pouring rain last night to get me home - a train journey would have been hell! A night in my own bed, some proper sleep, a shave, haircut and shower

Hi I'm new here. I am a couple of days out from skin graft surgery to treat chemical burns to the right side of my face.

CABG Update
On the mend - it’s funny how you seem to feel improvements exponentially each day but a few ups and downs - they’re planning to discharge me on Tuesday if the pace of recovery continues - just don’t want to rush it too much but all seems positive so far 😀

Done - 3 new pipes in and up walking - they don’t hang around, do they? No real pain but plenty of soreness - now the real journey starts 😀

Thanks for all the support guys and gals - just a final warm up before kick off and the roar of a capacity crowd 😀 Will update you at full time, fingers crossed. Let’s hope it doesn’t go to a replay!

CABG update
So here goes - at The Royal Brompton with one last night before my triple CABG tomorrow - being woken up @ 6am before being taken down to surgery. Suddenly it’s all got a bit ‘real’ - oh well, what’s the worst that could happen………….

Any bikers had CABG? How long before back on the motorbike?
Hi everyone, I’m recovering from quadruple bypass, nearly 2 months . Was told 3 weeks ago I was ok to drive. Consultant said give it a few more weeks before being allowed to ride. What was your experience of getting back on the bike post surgery? I’m a newbie, only passed CBT end of March and was

Thanks for all the messages of support and the like. I’m really not a social media type person as I grew up in an age with humans interacting face to face and I’m hardwired for such communication but this sight is incredibly inspiring and the posts are very supportive - there’s nothing like interacting

Might have asked this before…..
So, I’m 56 yo now, and had an interesting experience about 7 years ago where I had two angiograms and a partial angioplasty, where I had a severe reaction to the contrast dye. I still had issues and as a result I had a CABG in 2016. Since then, I’ve had tablets because I’ve struggled with hills and

Start of my Stem Cell Journey 0.3
Well, where do I start. The transplant team wanted to increase my Rux to 10 mgs which has been really good for me. So much energy hardly any symptoms and overall feeling better. The fly in the ointment is my blood levels are dropping red cells were 80 and my platelets were in the 30’s. My Haematologist

Gallbladder
Has anyone here had their gallbladder removed after also having had a cabg? How did you get on working out what to eat and what not to eat? I wasn't given a diet sheet, only advised to stick to a low fat diet with plenty fruit and veg. I'm finding I'm eating the sane things all the time! Fish and chicken

Banging my head against a brick wall
I am feeling so tired and breathless. Just had a telephone appointment, my year follow up after ablation with a nurse, I haven’t once seen or heard from a doctor apart from the day of ablation to sign consent. I have since ablation, had a CABG because of triple vessel disease all through my private health

UTI’s post CABG
Hi all, my husband is 14 weeks post triple bypass. He’s recovered incredibly well however he has had persistent UTI’s since. He’s been on antibiotics several times but it doesn’t seem to be clearing up. He’s calling the doctor again today but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this? Thank
