Tests are good.

I saw the cardiologist this morning. She was so encouraging! She says my heart sounds good. No skips and steady. She reviewed the cardiac echo and said things were good there. A lot of damage from infarctions, but what heart wall was left had taken over very well. I can look forward to low blood pressure from now on. It has gotten as good as it will get.

Last week was the Vascular Surgeon. I haven't heard anything about those Doppler Ultrasounds. I am working on the premise that no news is good news.

I am feeling pretty good. Some days I have problems with shortness of breath. It passes with time.

I want to congratulate everyone on their milestone today, whether it be one day, or 1,000. Be proud of what you have done.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

With 1092 days....

About the Author

I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
