My brother had a heart attack about 5 years ago now. He had an op which they over here they call a cabbage. Probably not spelt that way though.
It was where the doctors harvested major veins from his legs and grafted them onto those existing which hadn't been affected. He is really good now. A new lease of life.
I wish you a speedy recovery.

@Fannyann that might be what we call a bypass here. I had a blockage and stent put in.

Thank you for your kind words.

@Mondayschild Yes I think it was a bypass . They just used this other name too.
Make the most of your second chance. Xxxx
