Cabg

[kawakiri]

Not so much a wuestion as just looking for reassurance. I was at hospital last friday for CABGx3 but after a seven abd half hour wait was cancelled, surgeon caught up with coronary emergency.
I had been worried prior to going in but the last couple of days was quite relaxed about the whole thing. But now worroed again, waiting for a call from surgeon’s secretary with a new date. I have previously had radiotherapy to the chest for Hodgkins so a little concerned about the impact that will have if any on the surgery. I also am on cpap for apnea and fodn’t fare well after anaesthetic when I had brachytherapy for prpstate cancer. I guess I am just falling apart, I have lost weight recently but still need to lose more.

And apparently have more thumbs than fingers when typing.

Well.....there isn't much more to say....is there?
I am not sure how AB can help.......yes, you do seem to be falling apart.
But remember the saying about a "creaking gate".

Good luck.

[kawakiri]

I just see myself in the 3-4% in the stats they gave me.

[Sqad]

Kwaki......I don't understand what that means.

[kawakiri]

When going over the risks they said about the risk of death, it may have been 2-3%.

[Sqad]

I presume that is for your operation?
Well there you go kawaki.......that's not so bad.

[kawakiri]

Yes, and I know it’s routine now. I guess I’m a glass half empty person.

[kawakiri]

I’ll pop back on here when I’m back home after the op.

[murraymints]

if the op is recommended I'd go for it..poor Mikey kept putting off his heart surgery and.......

[Sqad]

Minty.....he IS going for it.

[kawakiri]

Oh definitely going for it after what they found during angiogram. Expecting a call today with anew date, hoping for wednesday which was my original date before they brought it forward to the day I got cancelled on.

[murraymints]

Had my triple CABG on Wednesday, now back on main cardiac ward. The gate is still creaking.
