Very inconsiderate of your arteries to get a bit clogged up….they clearly don’t care about the forum content enough.

I would say good luck but this is an op done 1000’s of times a day. One thing NHS is good at is cardiac. No luck required 👊👊

You’ll be back picking the wrong colour for kitchen cabinet doors before you know it
Everything crossed for a good result. The NHS and modern medicine is amazing.
I had a bit of a funny turn 14 years ago whilst changing a turbo charger on a 63P - they are heavy. Had a lie down for a hour then finished fitting the refurbed port turbo and took boat for a blast. A week later NHS surgeon very kindly put in two stents in one blockage in one artery. The rest looked pretty good and the starboard turbo was OK too.

Last week had another angiogram hoping a stent or two might do it. The Dr showed me the X ray video of my heart arteries. My first thought was VolvoPaul is going to struggle flushing all that out. Despite being a vegan athlete (well kind of) I come from a long line of people with cardio issues, so it's not a surprise.

Yeah….family history…..the gift that keeps on giving.

Great you’re on the ball with it. Prevention is better than cure innit. Just a bit of servicing……Volvopaul could probably fix it to be fair. A reverse flush with rydlyme probably not the treatment of choice though in this situation

No......there is no recipe. It’s a rebuttal to Seastoke saying my posts are like the Women’s Institute lectures
They are not that good…..and like Seacock knows what the word rebuttal means. He’s probably thinking K needs work doing the other end now

Sorry to hear about your health issues Kashurst, which as if not bad enough in its own right is compounded by the very serious matter of not being able to work on the boat!

All joking aside, it sounds as though the prognosis is good and I wish you well in making a speedy and full recovery and look forward to reading reports on the boat being finished.

K’s boat renovation experience could come in handy.....for example, he could tell the surgeon to keep all the left over parts....in case one day they might be useful

Get better soon @kashurst
A friend in Maastricht is waiting on getting his stents replaced in his legs, it's not high on the list as being urgent, but it is a painfully slow walk with lots of rest stops, he has had the heart bypass done a number of years ago, for a big lad and an ex-paratrooper it is saddening seeing him brought so low.
