What a week...

[jclalor 12]

What a week, I had a physical on Tuesday and now I get a quadruple bypass and a bovine graft on the Aortic valve on Thursday. 
 

I feel like the biggest pussy in the world.
 

But I’m extremely grateful that my doctor heard the heart murmur that set the process in motion.

Hi jclalor,

I had a triple bypass almost two yrs ago.  Feel really great now.  Hope you will also,

Thanks for the encouragement, it’s reassuring knowing others have dealt with this.

After 50 years of physicals and seeing nothing but bored faces while listening to my heart, watching her bored face turn to a concerned face was sure eye opening.

I'll bet. I hope all went as well as possible, and that you are now recuperating with loved ones. Blue skies! :)

It could have gone better, I got a pneumo thoraxl in The ICU. The staff is great and my daughter who is an RT has been here the whole time kicking my and making me work. Hopefully I get the last chest tube out tomorrow and move to another floor.

Hey Lalor, just noticed this thread.  Hope all is well and that you're on your way to a full recovery.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with JC? His commo just quit. PM's included. Welfare check if you can, please.

His profile says he last visited 16 hours ago. I'd emailed a couple of times about 10 years ago, but it was from a mail account that no longer exists, when I was working.
