On Monday with 6 Bypasses...
My father in law just had 4 done not long ago but has now finally been cleared to drive again.
It will be a little while before Augie is 100 %.
He's still young enough to bounce back pretty quick.

not being familia with Augie's case, I can't comment specifically. I can give a little information to those concerned though. If I understand correctly he had multiple bypasses. the heart has it's own circulatory system seperate from the rest of the body. without getting overly complicated, a blood vessel is taken from another area of the body and grafted to the outside of the heart and connected so that blood flows into it. The actual operation is only part of the battle. As its impossible to connect all the little atreriols to it. Luckily it is one of the most regenerative parts of the body. In essence, its like putting the main plumbing line in a house and from there every single offshoot must grow itself new, thats why recovery takes so long. 6 bypasses is a major operation and from here he pretty much needs to regrow the entire circulatory system of the heart. it will take time, but eventually, barring complications he should feel better than he has in years.

He's in our prayers...... It's ironic that a guy with one of the biggest hearts out there is having heart trouble.....
Get well soon.
