my nana has to have heart surgery

hey all, im feeling really like shit right now bc i found out that my nan is gonna have to have open heart surgery in a couple of days. she has been in the hospital since friday and they performed something called a cardiac catherization or something like that. this didnt un clog the blockage so now they are gonna have to go in and fix it. shes fairly healthy overall besides high blood pressure and hasnt been in a hospital for health issues since 1959! she is 83 and means the world to me. she's lived with my mom brother and I since i was born and is like a second mom to me. if anything happens to her i dont know what i would do. they are also running more tests for other health issues as well. I visited her yest. and she still seems like herself just a little more tired and drained from tests being done at the hospital. she just wants to come home really bad, but obv cant for prob at least a week. i am really scared and upset. please pray for her. does anyone know anyone who has had open heart surgery before?? i'm hoping that nothing bad will go wrong during or after. im not sure about the success rates or god forbid if a number of patients pass away shortly after. i just hope they fix this shit and she stays alive and well for years. i might not be able to reply to this post for a while bc i have been busy, so thanks in advance for your support

I wish her the best, for no complications, and for a spendid recovery.

She's in my prayers tonight.

Best wishes to you and your family!!:thumbsup:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

i hope and im sure that everything will go well
i wish you and your family all the best
and a quick and excellent recovery for your nan

Plenty of my family members have had open heart surgery, all with 100% success. It's has come a very long way in the past 20 years. She should do fine, but must follow the post-surgical recovery instructions, diet, take her medications, etc.

I must warn you, so that you are prepared: Sh might look very good right after surgery, and may complain a lot, but this is normal even with much younger patients. They'll probably have her up and about fast, though.

Best wishes

Correction: I meant that she might not look good right after surgery. This does not mean anything bad - it's normal.

Sorry and again, best wishes.

Best wishes to your Nana from The Skink!!!

Yeah man hope it goes well, I was too young to remember when a very good friend of my family went under open heart surgery it was a triple bipass or something but apparently there are very high success rates, I wish her all the best and please don't worry yourself.

thank you guys so much it helps a lot

no problem mate
just glad to be a help to you in your time of need
