Need good vibes from you guys.
I have to have a second heart bypass surgery in six days. One of my grafts from my first surgery is blocked and giving me chest pain. I've had all the tests.
I'm sure there must be people here who have a "zipper". Maybe someone call tell me if they've had a second surgery and how it went. It's higher risk than the first one. I was 38 then and I'm 64 now. I have alot of scarring.
I haven't let on to anyone that I'm scared, but somehow, I can tell you.
Good vibes and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am now in a rehab facility, recovering from my second bypass surgery. The surgery went well and in the minutes and hours leading up to the surgery, I thought of all the support my DU family gave me when I was scared. Thank you, guys, from the bottom of my heart. Without you, I might not have had the courage to go through with it.
Thanks again and much love,
zanana
