Phred back in Hospital - needs prayers.

[Rachel]

I asked if he was able to have a bypass and he said that he wasn't sure about that b/c of the recovery time was extensive?

Not sure that the recovery time being extensive should rule this out if this is what he needs. Better to be functioning for the long run. I'm wishing that he could have been gone to a large teaching hospital. This whole thing breaks my heart.

I agree - I kind of thought the long recovery time is better in the long run.
I am not entirely sure either Logan. That IS confusing. As long as they have it right tho....

We hop that whatever is best in the long run is what they'll do. A long recovery time is hard to deal with, but better than not feeling your best, and having the possibility of more trouble hanging over one's head.

My mom had 2 angioplastics and finally they did a 4 valve bypass , she wishes they would have sooner . She has ahd 4 heart attacks before the surgery. hers is from diabetes they thought 60% of her heart was dead but after more scans found the little veins had kept it alive. after the surgery she felt so much better that after 2 weeks (insistion healed) she started an water arobics class that was 3 years ago she iis now off of 15 meds and is teaching 5 days aweek the water arobics . She has lost 80 lbs and just hired a personal trainer for the lose tummy skin. we have a contest going on weight and inches. Shes now 67 years old and I have a hard time keeping up with her.
Fred does need to remember to that after a heart attck he may experiance memory loss it's just part of it. Mom is now getting it back help of supplements.
