Anyone have someone close to you not believe you about your heart disease? Have a family member think I'm back to normal because I look good. My surgery was unsuccessful, surgeon doesn't want to do another surgery so soon , I'm only 3 months out of surgery. My surgeon doesn't understand Why I'm doing so well. But pleased I am. Had left side bypass carotid artery with an additional Stent , & still blocked. Now right side is blocked 69%. 🥺
