I have a blocked artery feeding the bottom L of my heart. Inserting a stent failed back in 2019. However, there are smaller vessels till feeding the area. My condition is "optimized" with a daily dose of 4 pills. I tuned up with a cardiac re-hab program. I can walk a 25minute mile/3' slope on a treadmill and keep my pulse rate under 105 BPM and burn 160 calories doing it. I'm retired and try to keep busy around the house puttering on stuff suitable for a 70 yr old guy to be puttering on at a reduced pace. I kept the walks shoveled and the driveway clear of snow through 3 events this winter. My Cardiologist is a sweet young thing who looks like she is still in high school. Jeeze that sounds ageist. Anyway, every 6 months at my checkup she presses me to get a bypass. Last yr, it was 5 months getting back after my lung surgery, what is like to recover from a bypass? What about the sternum? My next stop is to find some text about the procedure. TIA
