Default Re: Been in hospital 4 Spinal Surgery

Clif, think again about the heart surgery.
I had the bungie cord put around a heart valve and now I don’t run out of breath quickly like I did all my life.
But...they also did a single bypass because I had one real small artery near my heart.
Bypass connections last an average of seven years. When they break you’re dead.
I got mine seven years ago.
I’ve known them to last twenty. I would hesitate getting a bypass. Especially if the problem was there since birth.
I’m glad I got my valve fixed but I wish I had not got the bypass.
