OK now, at 74, I've never considered my self old. However, the good GP doc recently suggested I see a cardiac specialist. Well fast forward several months and several diagnostics culminating in a heart Cath, the cardiac guy casually says, yup, minimum triple by pass and while we're in there we'll replace the left Heart valve too....
Holy crap! So, may be 10# on the portly side, retired, active, and no previous cardiac issues. Bottom line, no amount of 'Drano' can dissolve the blockages so the "big zipper" is on the schedule in the next several weeks.
Not exactly a tractor carberator question but anyone out there care to weigh in on having the procedure? I'm not terribly obsessed about the process as our local hospital has done several thousand since 2002 with a 98% success rate, but it's the forced inactivity afterwards that will drive me crazy. I don't do daytime TV.
