DAMN, all but one.......not bad for AN old man, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! I've nursed more than one good friend back to full strength after a Cabbage (that's CABG for you laymen, lol). Worst part of it is the pain from that damn chainsaw they put through your sternum. Trust me, I've served pharmaceutical right hand man under some of the best thoracic/cardio surgeons in the country.....a long time ago. In my day, they gave the patients 1-2 weeks to get their ass moving.....now it's next day, LOL. I've watched so many of them, no way in hell I let myself get there, I know too much. First time I heard those rib-spreaders go into action, NEP, I don't give a shit, you're gonna have to shoot my ass to get me on that table, LOL. Glad you're doing so well, eat well and exercise till you're dogged each day.

Yeah, forgot to put that in the post. Artery??? They usually take veins out of your lower leg(s) for the grafts. You're correct though, that's what smarts the worst based on my talking to patients post-op. Anyway, for a four-banger, ya sound great and that's what counts. I'm off the course for a week or so myself, been diagnosed with osteo in my left hand and got my cortisone shot yesterday, next up is surgery which thankful as hell it's my left hand, LOL. GL with your action today.
