My SO survived the triple bypass. But he lost his vision during the surgery. (7:14 a.m. today, in Health Forum)

Here's my update:


HE CAN SEE NOW!!!

3. Good news.
I never saw anyone go blind as a result of bypass surgery, but small clots are an ever present risk and part of what's responsible for post surgical neurological problems. They do clear, most of the time.

The statistics were always on his side.

Now get him out of that bed and MARCH.

16. Thank you everybody for all your best wishes.
I still am amazed at the outcome.

I'm on my way to see him at the hospital. (He's been moved out of the ICU to a semi-regular room.) And I spoke with him on the phone and he sounded so positive and in the moment.

He won't be allowed to do much except supervised physical therapy and breathing exercises for three months, but I'm sure it will pass quickly. Ironically, preooperatively he had been on my case to take time off, my boss this day told me I need to take some time off, and it seems like good timing.

Once again, you all made this unbearably stressful time manageable for me. I'll always remember.
