Living up to my forum name alas.:(

You'll be fine Mac. Surely this is a standard procedure these days. Don't worry too much or you'll be needing your knickers untwiisting while they are at it! Xx

Thanks peeps. Apparently I am still only "Mildly severe" what ever that means but they are not going to operate at this stage,just continue with the medication for another 6 months. It sort of does my head that they want to wait till it is at the critical stage before they will do anything.I mean it is not just an ingrown toe nail or such it is my life. I suppose it is all down to the NHS cuts that they don't want to operate yet-----------I just hope they know what they are doing.

I doubt it has anything to do with NHS cuts. My grandfather bless him had to have so many operations related to his heart over the years and each time, they were held off until there was a balance between his being too severe to carry on as he was, but not so severe that the operation would be a massive risk.

There is a risk attached to every GA procedure, so they will take that risk when it is needed, not before it is needed. Hope that makes sense.

That's what we were always told with granddad anyway.

It is good news that you are not yet at a point where they feel you need the op, but I guess it must also be frustrating as he'll.

Let me put it this way---- if I was an engine I feel like I am in get you home mode and it is frustrating when the rest of me wants to lead an active worthwhile life.

I don't necessarily agree with how the NHS does everything, Christ, both of my cousins would have lived out their teens and been adults now if it won't for the failings of the NHS, but did they explain to you why they are waiting? If not, maybe chase them up on that?

Doctors will always put you being alive, ahead of leading an active life, and a heart operation is not without risks. It's not just the risks associated with the op either, my 36yr old cousin went in to Southampton general for a routine hernia op and spent 6 weeks in intensive care with pneumonia, because a hospital borne infection got hold of her lung whilst they were blowing compressed air around to clean up after the op. She was in a life threatening condition for more than a week.

They will only do it when the benefits outweigh the risks. They won't open you up if they don't have to.

You said that far more eloquently than I managed to :-)
