By-Pass

As some of you know, one of my very bestus friends had 911 triple by-pass this past Friday afternoon. Less than 96 hours later...he is going home. I saw him at the 40 hour mark and he was walking at almost normal slow pace. Eating a great meal. Strong voice.

Back in the day I remember my wife's Uncle being in for almost 4 weeks. I think the doctors have gotten a bit beyond the "Practicing" part when it comes to the heart.

It's also new technologies, procedures, medicines, and probably some trial and error, maybe?

It is amazing. The wife's BIL had heart bypass surgery last July. Such a fast recovery. He was only cautioned against climbing stairs right away.

In Alberta they are kicking them out after 48 hours.

I saw so many people leave after 48 hours it was amazing.

That's probably because a faster turn around means more patients, which means more mula.

My Late Father had Quad Bypass in December,1989 (their 40th Anniversary) and they gave him a book saying what he could and can't do,,,, PAGE 40,,,, NO SEX!!! Gave them a joke about old reasons and sayings,,,,,
