Old man's in for the speed triple tomorrow!

[Corin Denton]

Yep, got his notice and old pops is going for a triple heart bypass, fairly succesful I hear now, goes in tomorrow - op Monday.

[puggit]

I wouldn't worry too much - my dad had one 1.5 years ago and was out in less then a week

[wedge girl]

Brother-in-Law had one not that long ago, impressive set of scars, up and about in no time.

My thoughts are with you.

[Corin Denton]

Went up and spent a few hours with him today, he's a bit worried but he's in the best place.

Bad day but this time tomorrow hopefully all will be chipper!

[pesty]

Hope all goes well.

All the best for the old man, Corin.

Good luck to him. The surgeons are masters of the tripple now.

heart valve replacements, silly

[Vesuvius996]

Mr Vesuvious996 Senior had this two years ago - at 74.

He was tired, sad and weak.

Now he RUNS ME RAGGED....!!!


God speed to him. New lease of life beckons.



PLEASE MAKE SURE you let us know how it goes. I will say a small prayer for him tonight.

My dad - first one at aged 29 (nearly 30 years ago when it was more akin to butchery!)

Second one at 45 (they have a finite period before they need doing again so I believe)

Dad said that the second time was far more comfortable than the first. He was meant to take 3 months off for the first one - only took one and has regretted it ever since - so MAKE SURE your Dad convalesces properly!

So - if you imagine the advances from first to second and extrapolate that to today - I reckon your pops is in a great position!

All the very best for his recovery.
Cheers,
Phil.

My Dad had a double heart bypass last year.

Op on the Friday and home on the Tuesday.

My Dad has had 3 heart attacks (2 last year) and was on aspirin each day. Normally they would take you off the aspirin 2 weeks before the op but by doing that he had the heart attacks.

Its a higher risk having op while stick taking the aspirin but it was still a complete success.


The difference the operation makes is amazing!!!!!

Hope all goes well, I'm sure that it will.

Try not to worry too much.

[Corin Denton]

Thanks everyone, just come from the hospital all went to plan, quite upsetting to see him all strapped up but he was so pleased to see us all, he had this recurring nightmare that he was going to wake up mid op!

He's doped up on morphine but on the right side of the procedure now!

Thanks again.

MAGIC.

New life begins here for him....

Make sure he knows he's loved and the rest will take care of itself.... Think of it as a chance to enjoy time with him. So many people never realise what they got until they haven't got it any more.....

Best wishes to you all.
