Rod sorry to hear your news, ours doesn’t seem to be getting better either. Our b I l. is still constantly tired and breathless,although it’s only 5 days since he came out of hospital.
We are concerned that then appointment for another bypass in 2/3 months, imeans they don’t expect him to be around?? Don’t know,maybe it’s just so he can recover from this heart attack and the stent procedure. It took a lot longer to do the procedure because of the state of his arteries,.

Hi Richard, I would be very surprised if that was the case. A bypass operation is a big op and it requires a specialist to carry it out. If you remember, I had one done the full length of my leg in December 2015 and I had to wait 3 months for it to be done. Jeff very kindly came to visit me at home after the op. I was quite impressed by Jeff, as he had to drive 80 miles each way. If your BIL is not coping at home and if you think he won't make it to the 3 months, then he must get back to the hospital, the medics will need to know he is not doing well. if he deteriorates and he becomes a case of life or death, then the docs could decide about fast tracking him for the op. With these things, someone needs to act on his behalf, a relative or his GP. I remember Fiona is an ex medical secretary. With her insights, maybe she can help. Just a thought.
