A cheeky account of my heart bypass surgery

 

 

Question:  Are you serious?

Answer:      As serious as a Heart Attack.

 

We have all heard this snappy reply at one time or another.  The phrase, “As FUNNY as a Heart Attack” is not something that I recall hearing.  This book may change that.  Aside from being a first person account of my heart problem, bypass surgery, and recovery, it is a “tongue in cheek” view of the things that transpire in a heart patient’s home, workplace, doctor’s office, and hospital.  I found humor in parts of the experience, even though, at the time, I did not feel like laughing.  How did this lead me to write a book? 

 

"I am writing this narrative because I am going stir crazy.  Three weeks after having open-heart surgery, cabin fever is getting to me. My activity was very limited the first two weeks of my recovery and I had a lot of time to think about what I was going through, the bad and the good.  I found many experiences pre-op and post-op, funny enough to tell others.  I decided that writing about the experience would be a good way to pass time during my recovery.  My wife says it's fiction, but I say its factual. Maybe I should say it’s my drug induced version of what really took place. What we have, is, a "cheeky account of my heart bypass surgery."  I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 2 

I remember a poem I read in High School, and I paraphrase:

 

 

Two paths diverged in the wood.

To the right was reality: narrow, scary, and little used.

To the left was denial, wide, smooth, and well worn.

I took the path most traveled.

 

 

Chapter 6

There it is again! I’m not going to dislike anyone. Do I look like a grumpy old curmudgeon that blames everyone else for his miserable existence? These medical folks have been jaded by a bunch of grumbling anti-social patients. I’m a people person. I will prove it. I will take what comes with a smile, a joke and an attitude that will put them – and everyone else – at ease.

 
 
Chapter 10

My entire life I have had a nemesis with me. Today it was still a nemesis, not because it was there, but because of its absence. My nemesis is narcolepsy. Not the falling asleep in your cornflakes kind, just the always-sleepy kind.
