Hubby had his bypass
Hubby is out of
surgery
after his quadruple
bypass
. They said it went well. He's on a ventilator obviously, and they're going to wake him up in an hour or so, and see if any tubes can be removed. Thank you all so much for your support. I'm going to visit tomorrow

Best chair type for recovery
Hi, my boyfriend having a heart bypass in July. I wondered if anyone has any tips or suggestions on the most comfortable type of chair to use at home during his recovery (we moved house this week & thought I would get him a comfortable chair if people have any ideas of what type would be most comfortable

Sir Ranulph Fiennes
If you are interested he is on the National Geographical channel tonight at 8pm This of course is the man that after his heart bypass ran 7 marathons in seven days in seven different countries . I must admit he was a great inspiration to me when I was feeling very sorry for myself after my triple bypass

They can be quite painful at times when I’m working Anyone else had the same issue Oh for information

full heart bypass
I have had a full heart bypass after just over 4 months waiting. I am now nearly 3 weeks post op. Nobody could have prepared me of how hard this is. I know I will feel better and I am getting stronger each day. The emotional rollercoaster is the worse. I am sad, angry and trying to be positive all at

Pains after heart bypass
Hi, had double heart bypass 2 weeks ago and at least once a day I get pains in my neck and chest which ease when I walk about. I did have a partially collapsed lung whilst in hospital and wondered if this was something to do with it. Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I’m seeing the cardiac

Do you find Doctors don’t physically examine you anymore ?
Had a heart bypass 4 years ago but since then I’ve had two unrelated problems that years ago would have entailed a physical examination- primarily by the doctor before a referral . Ok I’m a woman so I won’t go into the specific details . However I had to sign a form before the date of my referral giving

pain in legs and joints
Since I had quadruple heart bypass I was on 11 new tablets .Everything was ok until I’ve been out on some new tablets.Now I am getting cramps,aching joints and I’ve had to stop going with walking groups because of pain in legs. The common denominator here seems to be aspirin,it seems to clash with every

Triple Heart Bypass
Just posting an update on my situation. I am now 5 weeks post op and have been progressing slowly, learning to live with the effects of the op greatly helped by all the responses to my original post. The pain is beginning to subside (very slowly) and my walking has improved and I am doing 30 minutes

Triple Heart Bypass
I would like to say thank you to everyone who has replied to my post. Your responses have been very reassuring and I will certainly take on board all the advice I have been given. It seems that the doctors have to give a generalised timeline for recovery, whereas everyone is different and some may
