"Cardiac problems & subsequent recovery"

About: Fife Community Services / Community Cardiac Specialist Service Queen Margaret Hospital / Cardiology

(as the patient),

My individual problems had been experienced over a period of time .

I had a series of stents fitted but proved to be a short term resolution & was recommended for surgical bypass surgery.

I had a triple heart bypass surgical procedure carried out approx 5months ago. My recovery from this was speedy & trouble-free being discharged from hospital after 5 days When at home I applied all aspects of recovery procedure from the medical staff to in my mind make a speedy & successful recovery. I attended a cardio rehab assessment on a few occasions & had intimated that I wanted to make my recovery as good as possible. I attended an interview with the cardio physio rehab team & was accepted on a six-week course. Having attended this course for the six week period I can only comment that this was a major contributor to my physical & mental wellbeing recovery.

To comment on my experience to date from start to finish is as follows--

From day one the liason & professionalism from all medical , hospital, surgical & physiotherapy staff have been second to none.

The team at my physio rehab has been very caring & professional in all aspects of my recovery giving so much attention & encouragement to the group.

I have signed up for a further session after the Christmas recess.

I can say that I am totally happy with my entire experience throughout my troubles.
