2 days until "Redo"

Posted by Don             From Florida on August 08, 1999 at 11:36:56
Well the time is getting a bit closer for the "Redo" CABG that is scheduled for Tuesday 08/10/99.
I don't have anymore questions, but i did want to express my gratitude to the doctors who have responded to my concerns. It has been very helpful in making another important decision of weather to have the surgery or not. I only wish that these boards would have been availible 10 years ago when i suffered so long from the angina (without having it checked), then i would have been able to maybe avoid the first CABG with the right treatment for the problem with an earlier diagnosis.
I firmly believe that medical education for the physician & patients is the best for everyone.
Once again, thank you to the physicians on this board, and Bless all of the patients with continuing improvement with their overall well-being.
"May The Wings Of Prayer Watch Over Us All"
Sincerely,
