Heart Bypass
Hello I have not posted before as I am new to this group. Great to find a group like this. Mother's Day, May 10, 1998 I woke with indigestion, etc. Got worse as the day wore on. Finally ended up at the emergency room where I was told that it was a heart attack. Thought it was like a colon attack or gall bladder attack. Had my gall bladder removed when I was 21. Was 50 then. Saved my life with a shot that desolved the clot. Then transferred me to another hospital where they did a 6 way CABG. A year later had left arm pain which sent me to the emergency room. That resulted in a stint in the sub claven artery that supplies blood to the left arm. Sub claven artery is near the collar bone. Now am doing well with exercise and diet. Still have to watch the CHF which flares up if I have added salt. Am greatful for the resourses and technology that brought me this far. Hope all who have heart problems do as well as me. I am able to go about my life doing most things I like to do. Have a great day. Susan/Zephyrhills, FL
