My brother (one year older than me) had a heart attack about a year ago. I went for a cardiac stress test then that showed no problems. After I had chest pains in May I went for another cardiac stress test that showed an ST depression(?) toward the end. They told me to talk to a cardiologist ASAP! I saw one and he did a cardiac catheterization that showed severe blockage in three arteries. I'm having triple bypass surgery on September 2. I had a period of time when I was afraid, but then I remembered that 1) I have the peace that passes all understanding in Christ and 2) that the surgeon told me that there is a less than one percent chance of having any serious problems as a result of the surgery. (I thought the odds were greater than that just driving home.)
Relatives have told me that the recovery is not painful but that I MUST do everything they tell me to do for a successful recovery.
What are your thoughts?
