About 15 years ago my father in law had to have a quadruple bypass. You wouldn't know it now. The man is 75 years old and going as strong as ever. My dad also had heart surgery and is still looking and acting very young for an 80 year old goat.
It never ceases to amaze me what modern medicine can do these days when compared to the options available just 50 years ago.
So far im doing well. my surgery was on Monday hey released me the following Saturday and there is for most part more discomfort then pain suprisingly!!! mine was fairly simple compared to some!!
