Hand hold

[Trinity69]

DP is currently on the operating table having a double heart bypass. It’s been on the cards since his heart attack 2 weeks ago but now it’s real it’s a bit scary.

Hope surgery goes well .Try to relax a little and eat and drink something. It's amazing how quickly people recover from this .Wishing you both all the best .let us know how he gets on please.

Sending lots of positive vibes to you & your DH

Heart surgeons are amazing OP, he's in very capable hands

Hand hold here, sending positive healing thoughts.

Surgery has come a long long way since 30 years ago where this was considered a real high risk operation. Of course it's scary, but he really is in good hands.

Thinking of you OP, and sending positive vibes. DH also had open heart surgery a couple of years ago. It was so scary, especially so in recovery when he was in the ICU but he recovered fully and it was a complete success. It's so frightening to us to think about but the heart surgeons do this kind of operation every day.

Dp had a CABG in 2017 - hand holding and positive vibes from me I know the worst part is the waiting. Sending some unmumsnetty hugs

He is in good hands OP.
Sending you both good wishes.

Thanks all. He’s out of surgery, heavily sedated. I’m going to call again soon for an update.

That’s great news OP!

Glad to hear he's had it done OP - fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. Take care x

How's he doing, OP?

He’s in HDU at Kings. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster! Surgery was Wednesday, he was sent for an xray late on Thursday because they thought he’d got a collapsed lung, but he hadn’t. Then Friday night his heart rate went up to 140, which apparently is quite normal at that point due to the huge shock the heart has been through. Now he seems to be perking up a little, his sense of humour is appearing now and again. He did however say, if he’d known how horrific the surgery was and the amount of pain he’d be in, he would have just taken his chances without it. Thank you for checking on us!
