Prayers up. I had quadruple bypass 3 years ago, so I know what you are going through. The Cath tells the cardiologist a lot, and you’re semi conscious when they do it so you can see the monitor. They can repair some blockages with stents, so not all caths result in open heart surgeries. Keep your head up and trust your doctors.
I now volunteer with an organization called Mended Hearts. We visit patients after they come out of ICU to show them there’s a good life to be had after open heart surgery.
Four things to do after surgery (should that be the outcome) are follow the doctor’s orders, take your meds as prescribed, take your diet seriously, and go to rehab.
Here’s hoping you have a great outcome - we’re praying for you.
The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.
Psalm 41:3
Prayers up Swordmaker.
