WOW the things they can do now. He just called and he was awake the whole time. They went into an artery in his crotch and pushed a balloon up to the blockage by his heart, then slide a stint up into the blockage and let the balloon out and stint in place. He sounds a little drugged up but a DAY surgery now???????????? Amazing..

And DE if you start feeling pains in your chest, that you can't explain, have them looked at. My friend was talking about these new pains for a couple weeks. Go in have it done, rest for the night in the hospital, go home the next day..........I hope you and I both die exhausted from having too much fun and doing what we love!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not some plumbing issue........

I wish your friend luck, Nemo. Bypasses are pretty common these days... almost ROUTINE, though it won't seem that way to you or your friend.

There's a high probability I'll need heart surgery myself one day - to repair something I've had since birth called a 'bicuspid aortic valve.' Not for a while, though - I still feel pretty normal and can probably hike to the top of a mountain faster than 90% of the people my age. With any kind of luck, I'll die of something else before they have to crack my chest to fix the heart!
