A 6 way bypass does sound like an extreme procedure. Great to see you're well enough to visit the forum.

I guess the old saying "there's no replacement for displacement" is true.

My doctor explained that a regular stress test only shows abnormalities if the whole heart is abnormal it will say everything is normal.
I want to thank everyone for the good wishes, right now I'm to weak to drive but waiting for a chance to get out & open her up!!!
Definately, the better the test the more info the doc gets.
I passed the standard treadmill test less than 6 monsths before I had enough chest pain to require an angiogram. It showed 4 arteries 90% blocked. I get the drug induced thallium stress test every year now.

The hardest part was not being able to drive for 6 weeks,
and I didn't even have a vette then. I'm lucky to have 2 to alternate driving now. Gotta stay healthy!
