Legs with little feeling, anyone?
Just wondering if anyone has a similar issue with their legs. I am 4 and a bit months past surgery of CABG x4 and I still don’t have much feeling around the incisions in my lower legs. The scars are healing fine, but the pressure from swelling in the ankles makes it feel like I am wearing ski boots,

Thoracic window
Hello there. Not been on here for a while. Following a nine year history of lung cancer and pneumonectomy I unfortunately had to have clagetts procedure last year which has now left me with a thoracic window. Having been reassured at the time that I would have a closure within months with a skin graft

On the edge with too many decisions
Long story, some venting, need input. Some of you have followed my story of my major car accident last March. It was the other driver’s fault, but I was really hurt. So, on top of COVID-19, I was hospitalized alone, had no job, and spent 9 moths in physical therapy only to have them tell me they have

It's exactly a year since my quadruple heart bypass...what a year!
I haven't posted apart from the odd reply for quite some time but now I've reached a milestone, 1 year since my operation which is also pretty much 1 year in lockdown. When I left hospital it was barely 2 weeks before we went into national lockdown and from that point onward there were just 4 weeks in

Cardio rehab
I would definitely recommend cardio rehab. I had CABG and Mitral valve repair done in 2017. Found motivation really difficult at home and had a delay starting rehab due to arythmia. When I finally started, although the activity did seem really slow, the fact that I had a focus for 6 weeks was very important

Just placed on Entresto
Really interesting reading your replies. I have just been advised to go on to Entresto lower dose am and higher dose pm. This was due to low BP readings under 100. Will know my blood test results soon to decide whether I can tolerate higher dose twice a day. I have had a CABG and mitral valve repair

Insurance companies rejecting Fulvestrant Injection
Hi, My mom has metstatic breast cancer and she has been advised fulvestrant injection but the claim has been getting rejected by tpa saying that is not included in the administrative 24 hours clause.

Trans Apical TAVI op done and dusted at last!
Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've been out of hospital for a week now, after waiting 13 months and two cancellations for an urgent aortic valve replacement. Stiches due out tomorrow. I'm especially grateful to Tessie28 who warned me that even though the op is termed 'key hole' it is still

Covid for Christmas
Hi All, Posted two days ago about really feeling the cold post CABG (my op 10 months ago) and it making my chest ache and hurt. Well, it may also be hurting due to having just tested +ve for Covid. Seems Santa put me on the naughty list! Not felt too bad, just generally crummy the last few days but

Late Happy Christmas
I was busy enjoying Christmas Day, an event I was told in June 2020 I would not witness unless I had an urgently needed op. Well, i had that op, a CABG (3 grafts) and a Davids Procedure and i made it! So Happy Christmas (albeit late) and all the best for 2021. For those in need of that op - there are

Wishing you all a Happy and Safe Christmas
A huge thank you to everyone who supported me in my partners journey through his wiggly veins, angina, numerous tests, failed stents and ultimately his CABG and AFib episodes this year. You are all superstars. Unfortunately his recovery has been longer and much harder then we’d planned for - but he
