Don,t know if this is the right spot for this but here goes.
Iam having a double bypass Op on my ticker on Monday 17th. at Greenslopes Private. This on top of a year where I,ve been trying to over come depression. It's enough to make me feel a bit down!:D:D:D
Don't worry I'll be back to dispense advice andpraise in the new year.:o:o
Artme,
wish you all the best with the op. Hope all goes well and the recovery is easy.
Don't give the physio's too hard a time.
best of luck,
Artme,
Hope all goes well on the 17th...take it easy and come back as you're usual self.
Just to make you have a smile.....I think as a new mod, that I should move this post to "PLUMBING" :U :U
Hang in There,
Regards,
Noel
artme,
All the best. It's a good hospital and especially for the ticker. I'm sure you'll recover feeling better:U and younger:o than you have for a long time.
Cheers,
Good luck with the op mate :2tsup:
Good luck mate. Don't know about Greenslopes, but do know bypass heart surgery is fairly routine these days. I didn't have a bypass, but during my protracted stay in the cardiac thoracic unit I watched those who did and they were in and out in five days. The zipper club is a big one with lots of members. So hope the depression improves as well.

Arteme good luck on the 17th just think nurses are younger these days but not all female so careful who gives you the sponge bath :D
Artme,
Good luck: I am going in to get an atrial septal defect repaired four days later; so I trust that you will set a good example by coming through your procedure in good shape. Like you, I am looking forward to feeling a lot better when it is all over.

Best wishes for the op Artme! Hope your recovery is quick and as painfree as possible
cheers

Good luck mate, you'll get sick of the food soon enough...:;
if you want to ask any questions after or before your done give me a pm , i had mine last year and i found it great to talk to and ask questions from someone who has had the procedure done to them, just little things docs dont tell you ,but its comforting to know ( i knew that so i wont worry me) and the little things when you come home ,its good to know there is an answer. bob

I had my quadruple two and a half years ago in Greenslopes. Definitely the best hospital in Australia and they really look after you. One thing I would advise you is to get all your coughing and sneezing over before you have it done and keep a rolled up towel handy at all times .
They are so good today it is no worse than having your appendix out and better than having your tonsils out because at least you can eat after the operation and the food is good in Greenslopes along with your private room.
At least they use an electric razor to shave you and no risk of getting any vital appendages cut accidentally.
They will kick you out after a week and have you walking the next day.
Good luck and as others have said watch out for the male nurses.
Have look at post No.7 a room with a view. https://www.woodworkforums.com/showth...adruple+bypass
Thinking about you Artme. We all go through a few dry gullys and muddy creeks.
Greenslopes is a top hospital. Used to be run by the Federal Government War Veterans Dept.
You are not alone, there are plenty here, me included. even though I do not know you personally, appreciate all the help and advice you have given here.
Keep in touch, after your op, good luck, and I am sure many of us here, would love to meet up with you, when you are over your hospitalization.
Not a problem these days. It will be over in no time and you will be back on here real soon.
Rob...
Goodluck
It is not an easy time for you at the moment. I wish you all the best for the operation.:2tsup:

I honestly cannot recall anyone who says they haven't felt better after that operation. Sounds a good hospital you are going to as well.
All the very best to you Artme with the op and hope you beat depression. Looking forward to your posts and having you back on-line. :)
Cheers mate, Evan
Im not in the zipper club, I know plenty who are and all are glad for it. Good luck,
Sebastiaan
I can only repeat what has been said above.
Had a quad bypass done 9 years ago and have never looked back.
I made a decision that I would be a hassle free zone after that.
It is important to be positive and if there is a cardiac rehab course available you should do it.
Good luck
Best wishes Artme.
Take a few pics of the staff for us.
Good luck mate.
Good luck with your operation artme and have a nice Christmas. I am sure you will be looked after admirably in Greenslopes. All the best mate.
Good luck artme,
I wish you all the best and may you have a speedy recovery.

Artme, You should be out or getting ready for release from hospital about now. Let us know how things are when you feel a bit stronger.

Well the bypass was a success and the view of the grass from this side is even better.:2tsup::2tsup:
Painful experience :(so my advice to everyone is look after yourself so it doesn't have to happen to you.
Again many thanks for all your good wishes and I trust your Christmas was well rounded and that you all resolve to do some great turning in 08.
Welcome back, and take a rest for a few days.
Artme,
Good to hear that all went well for you. I hope that you will heal quickly and feel much better soon.
