New to the list
Hello, I have just joined your list and hope to learn about my husband's problems. He was first diagnosed with a heart murmur. They immediately followed that with an EKG and echocardiogram. A couple of days later they did a nuclear scan and scheduled him for cath surgery the next day with the intent on putting in a stent. However, when they put the dye in, they found all his arteries were blocked and he underwent a quadruple bypass. He's home from the hospital now, but is having a tough time adjusting to not being able to do much. He has been released from the surgeon and goes back to the cardiologist on Thursday. Then he'll begin heart rehab. What is involved in that? Will he ever be able to work again? He had a very physical job. He was fired when they found out about the heart murmur (not illegal in Texas where we live). Thanks so much for the group! Nina Campbell
