From Johns Hopkins Medicine
"Your doctor uses coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) to treat a blockage or narrowing of one or more of the coronary arteries to restore the blood supply to your heart muscle.
Symptoms of coronary artery disease may include:
Chest pain (check)
Fatigue (severe tiredness) (check)
Palpitations
Abnormal heart rhythms
Shortness of breath
Swelling in the hands and feet
Indigestion
I remember tubes connected everywhere, machines beeping, nurses (the best!!), Sam Miyamoto's legs, the rumble of the portable XRAY machine coming down the hall, cold XRAY plates, and constant blood draws. You learn to just go with the flow, and let them do anything to your body, poke, cut, stitch, shave, insert, poke again. The right leg ankle is still stiff from the artery removal.
