loppylugs 8,424 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hi Oldace. I do not know anyone personally who has had the surgery you speak of, but have known others who have had various kinds of heart surgery. All have come through it very well. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Dave. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 You see, despite losing one of his whatsits, the most important thing for him was to get his fix on Nottstalgia. I hope everything went well and that you're comfortable, Bilbraborn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 OLDACE, don't worry about a thing ....... My brother-in-law had a quadruple by-pass a couple of years ago, surprisingly he had a dental appointment and his dentist suggested he go to get his heart checked out, not something you expect from going for a filling! He was always pretty fit, playing rugby until his 50's and running marathons in under 3 hours. He now swims every single day. These problems can hit even the fittest. A very good friend of ours here in Nottingham also has had a quadruple and he has absolutely no ill-effects, and his lifestyle hasn't changed at all, he still drinks and eats plenty! I wish you the best of luck and hope you get surgery quickly, and don't have to wait like another friend of mine who's been in City Hospital a week now waiting for a heart by-pass, which was due to be performed today and it's been cancelled ........ he's hoping he has the surgery on Wednesday. He's a Nottstalgia member btw. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I am sorry to hear that some members are going through the trials and tribulations regarding health issues,Denice and I send you our thoughts and prayers,and hope that all goes well and you have a speedy recovery. I had a series of Chryno' injections two weeks ago,to resolve the chronic pain I have had,due to damaged nerves I received during surgery three years ago. The doc'said everything went well,but the area will be sore and inflamed for several weeks.Stay tuned to this channel. I have been coming on to the site,but more as a 'lurker' than a poster. A pleasant phone call from LizzieM yesterday,prompted me to post a few lines,and to thank you for the concern about my welfare,we do seem to be a large extended family. Thank you all for the kind words of support over the last year,may I take this opportunity to wish you,Peace,Love,Health,and a wonderful 'Christmas'. As always,I raise my glass to absent friends,Cheers. Bryan 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Still around and much thanks for caring. I can't see me getting it done yet what with Norovirus and other stuff invading the wards.

dgbrit 258 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 One week yesterday I had a massive heart attack but within a hour I had stent placed to clear a 100% blockage, Feeling super today each day better but now I do qualify as a pill popper I have changed my diet no more KFC or Taco Bell & will be taking it a lot easier from now on. I suppose I made up for not seeing a doctor since the 80s. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

banjo48 928 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Sorry to read of the problems some Nottstalgians are going through,I wish you all a fast recovery, but I suppose it's our age group where some of these nasties can rear their horrible heads. If it's any consolation at all I feel we are very lucky having the medical expertise and technology nowadays to correct these otherwise life threatening illnesses. Two of my daughters who are long term surgical nurses, but now midwifes, both tell me that heart operations are now a very common, day to day surgery and recovery is very quick, even usually only requiring a 3-4 day stay in hospital. This is because I too worry as I have a heart valve replacement to look forward to sometime in the future, but not too soon I hope. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hope you are soon completely on top of things again Dgbrit. Banjo48 if it is any encouragement I have a good friend still in Notts who had a heart valve replacement years ago and is still going strong. Our Pastor had two heart valves replaced a couple of years ago and seems just fine now. Success rate seems pretty good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
