[QUOTE="garbonzo1991gt, post: 10561643, member: 21067"] My Old Man (67 y/o) had a quadruple bypass Jan of this year while I was home on leave from Afghanistan.. So, quite a shock to me as you can imagine. He had no signs of any problems on the EKG or the "stress test." He was complaining of Chest pain when he exerted himself. So, they did the die test and found all 4 main arteries feeding the muscles of his heart were 90% or more blocked. 12 hours later he was in surgery. The surgery went fine. He spent 4 days in ICU post operation while his chest tubes(drain) were in. After they were removed he was in far less pain and went to normal care. He came home about 4 days later. The pain meds they gave him in the hospital made him nauseas. I think it was a combo of Vicoden and Morphine. So about a week and he was up and operating, albiet, slowly. About a month and a half later and he was just about fully recovered. Scary but went off without a hitch. My mother has him on a strict diet now and he still exercises on a regular basis... If you have any questions PM me and I'll let you know what I know. If you really want we could put my father and yours together on the phone to talk about it if that would be helpful. [/QUOTE]
