Prayers sent for you and all the people working on ya in the am .

Sound advice.

Get some sleep. Tomorrow starts a bonus go-around not every one gets to enjoy, and wish you plenty of good times and outings to come.

God will be with you, just ask. Peace and healing. You will be on your feet before you know it!

Good Luck!

My Father had a quad bypass done and lived another 35 years until the agent orange caught up to him..

They do a bang up job these days.

Hope all goes well.

Get after it and look forward to having you back.

You're going to be in fine shape. They caught the problem before it became serious issue. Rest easy knowing things are going to be better for you from here on out. Your friends here are praying for you...stay strong and don't let us down.

See you on the flip side when your fresh as a daisy!

Good luck to you and hope you have a speedy recovery. Let us know how it turns out. I may have the same in my future.

A friend was about ready to get wheeled in for bypass surgery and was getting a little anxious. He asked his nurse "What are my chances of dying?"
"100%," she replied.

He said the joke lightened the mood, and everything turned out just fine.

Good luck.

Hope all goes well. Getting old is not for babies.

I'm shaking my rattle your way now. Good luck!

Praying for you. Hope all goes well and you get back to hunting and fishing.

My dad had a triple, it went really well. He was literally like a new man after the procedure.

Good luck. You'll do well.

Get 'er done! Prayers sent!

Take this time to start a healthy lifestyle. Eat right, and avoid salty foods. Recovery will be slow and then one day you will wake up and feel like a new person. Buy some good books, and all will go great. Best advice I have is, keep a positive attitude.

In May 2008 I had open heart-- CABG x4--- Feb 2009 I competed in a 42 story Stair climb in Albany NY. and broke my record by 2 sec. ----- What you do before and after CABG is Important. Use your pillow and cough--- cough and cough the more the better------ Exercise ----- Walking is great. -- go to rehab. Exercise and exercise... Check for sleep apnea . The only time I slowed down from Hunting -hiking- woodcutting -- fishing --you name --since May of 2008--- was a few months of recovery. Good luck----- If you're having a valve replacement --- PM me. Valves can be replaced by Cath. and they don't have to crack your chest. Good luck -- Web

Let us know how it goes, from the sound of it, it sounds about like riding a motorcycle and motorcycle wrecks, those of us who ain’t had one yet will one day.

Good luck with all this and I’ll say a prayer for ya 🙂
