Open Heart Surgery
I am currently in the hospital for a heart attack and although we have that settled down, they are going to keep me here for observation until Wednesday. Then I have open heart surgery for 5-6 bypasses.
I will leave a message when I get through but won't be in shape to continue conversations for several days afterwards.
Wish me luck and see you all on the back side.

Get better soon and get home asap.
We will be listening for you.
Then wishing you a speedy recovery. Please check in when you can 
.
Return when you’re hale and hearty.
It's so remarkable what they do now, when I had mine done a year plus ago, I placed a DU friend in touch with my sister so everyone could stay updated.
I wish you will, if you have long hair, cut it now lol. (Makes moving easier afterwards lol).
We're here with you and for you PadFun.
healing vibes and luck to you. 
Sending thoughts, good wishes and hugs your way. Be strong, and keep us posted.
My dad had a heart attack in his 50s, had a quintuple bypass shortly thereafter, and died twenty years later from something else. That early heart attack clued everyone in to what he needed.
About 13 years since I had my quadruple bypass…
and will be watching for the all clear! 
I so clearly remember my dad saying how much better he felt after his quad bypass. He said he hadn't realized what a drain his underperforming heart had been on his day to day life. Your physical therapy will suck, but it's so important. Best of luck.
May your health return and your energy and joy too! Take care and please let us know how you're doing, when you can!
They said I was stupid too. 
Had a Triple bypass 4 years ago Am doing fine and live one day at a time. They wanted to do 4 but to much blockage to close to the heart.
Hang in there.
Hope to see you back here as soon as you are able. 
patient handouts and work on it now so that after surgery it will be 2nd nature already and you won’t have to think about it as much when you body and brain are fresh off the blow of an extended and challenging surgery.
Best of luck to you! Follow your surgeon’s instructions like you suddenly found yourself in the squid game.
Had one 8 years ago (almost to the day) and had 5. Quintuple, I guess.
I didn't have a heart attack or something similar, but in trying to figure out the Afib they discovered blockages and said that an angioplasty wasn't going to work.
Recovery is no fun, but once your stitching heals up you'll be back normal.
They'll get you signed up for cardio rehab. It'll seem like a PIA to go 3 times a week, but you really need to keep at it for the required number of weeks.
This might be scary, but it is going to make you better!
