Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
Just got home from 9 day hospital stay after triple CABG surgery. Three arteries were bypassed, 2 previously stented and the LAD which was clogged in an area they do not normally stent. I wasn't having any pain or anything, just was losing some stamina over the last year or so. Had a heart attack in 2014.
I came home with a few things I didn't have when I went in, anemia and aFib. The aFib should go away in a few weeks they think, but has been a bit scary. Both are not uncommon for this kind of surgery I've heard.
Also there were some problems with inserting catheter because it turns out I had prostate issues (BPH) that I didn't know I had. Put on the Flomax for that.
I feel pretty good and am looking forward to clogging up my new artery vein grafts. Echo shows good blood flow so I should feel and perform much better when I recover. A few weird things though, heart rate is much higher than it was. Maybe that will sort itself out.
Anway would love to hear your comments.
