Please tell me that's not true....... :-(
MI in '89. Blew up balloons in arteries. That lasted a decade, rather
than the 5 they said, and then a triple.
They changed the oil and checked the other fluids while in there.
I like the zipper better than the alternative.

That's a point... :-)
I've seen those surgeries tho', they are aweful!
You have my sincere empathy.
It was less fun than I was hoping for, but I went home on day three
after the surgery and healed astonishingly fast.
I drove to my 4-week checkup in strict contradiction to the doc's
orders. When I got there, he had a string of residents with him to learn
from the master. He said, "How'd you get here?" I said, "Drove." He
said, I told you no driving, no lifting and no sex." I said, "Three out
of three..."
He didn't think it was funny. The residents were smirking.
Later he said, "You look good. Well-healed. You can pretty much resume
normal life."
I said, Does that mean drinking, smoking and the thing I like to do with
the livestock..."
Not even a tiny smile, but a couple of the residents excused themselves
and I could hear them howling out in the hall.
Quoted message said:You should be good to go for another 20 years at least,
and now you know how to keep your cholesterol under control?
My cholesterol at its highest was 160. Now 105. Trigs wonderful. Heart
rate grand. Respiration rate, splendid. HDL/LDL ratio textbook. And I'll
get little twinges for the rest of my life. But it's way better than the
most obvious alternative.
It's so bizarre. My numbers were magnificent while I was having a heart
attack. I should have been in the Olympics instead of that hospital bed.
We finally came to the conclusion that I chose my parents unwisely.
So it goes...
