So angry!!!

[fred]

Really sorry to read Fred, but REALLY glad he has been diagnosed properly now is is hopefully well on the way to a full recovery

Thanks Simon!
Yes,he does seem to be recovering well although his ribs are still sore due to being broken due to OP..He is in his late 60`s and is now talking about getting a bike!!..He has never smoked in his life but reckons it might be due to the smokers in his cabin in the Royal navy back then.
I was talking to a couple of Yanks here and they say that breaking ribs to gain access to the heart is like something out of the stone age!! I have no idea if they are correct about that or not?
Apparently they took arteries out of his left leg which now bypass the bad ones to his heart!
I often wondered what they bypassed them with!
Now we know.
Cheers,
Fred.

This is in the UK?
