Medication after HA & CABGx4
After my CABG in Nov 2020, I had a HA in June due to blockage of bypass. Artery that was bypassed and blocked is 55-75% stenosis. On top of the statins and asperine as a result of the CABG, I am now also on isosorbide-5-mononitrate and ranolazine, but not on clopidogrel or other blood thinners. My

Kissed baby with a cold sore
Hi all, I have a cold sore in the corner of my lip, and accidentally kissed my 2-week old baby on the cheek last night when I got up to feed him, I was very sleepy and didn't control my actions well. I had a special plaster on the sore, and don't think the affected area actually touched my baby, but

Discharge at 6 week review
I had my CABG last September and was expecting a 12 month review. Having moved house in the interim, I phoned yesterday for an update only to be informed I was discharged at my 6 week review. Is this normal? I was hoping for some sort of check up, some reassurance, and general overview.

Atherectomy
Two months ago I posted about the decision to have a bypass when suffering from HF. I had major blockages in all three arteries which could not be stented normally. The cardiologists made the decision for me on the basis that a CABG was too risky for me.. They suggested an Atherectomy on the main artery

Coming out of lockdown with a new scar and feeling nervous
I'm new here so this feels a bit scary! Last autumn I had a bad bike accident, I went flying and the pavement took a lot of the skin from around my eye. I was sent to the burns unit and came home with two skin grafts on my face. They are healing well, but some days are really hard and it still shocks

Skin cancer
Because of the CLL information on skin cancer, I had a small biopsy taken from my lower lip today. I had a little sore, that did not heal, for months, it was not a cold sore. More of a dry area that would not go away.

Hyaluronic Acid and CLL
I have been using a Revitalift over the counter face serum that is 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid sold as a treatment for wrinkles and aging skin. I seem to remember somewhere that there is a tie to CLL. Does anyone have any info on this? TIA

New here, cabg’ed
I’m new here. Cabg x 5 about 7 weeks ago. Dropped the codeine after about 2 weeks (weird dreams!) and slowly reading paracetamol. Following the advice, slowing increasing duration, not intensity of walking and only real problem is drain holes (2 of 3) not healing properly and starting a steroid cream
