              Re: hello

              In April this year I had an emergency quadruple by-pass and St. Judes mitral valve, they thought it went fine.. but 2 of the arteries that were used in the by-pass had blockages further up. So ... after 2 months of not being able to do what they said I could do they finally did a nuclear stress test and found the blockages, so 2 stents as well. During this time had 2 extra caths done where as they had formed a blood clot in my right arm (inside elbow). My question is this, ever since all this I am lucky to get 4-5 hours sleep a day, anything will wake me, anything. I am so very tired. I work anywhere from 10-12 hrs a day so I should be so exhausted as to sleep 8 hrs, but no.. dosent happen. Anyone had difficulty sleeping?I am a 45 yearold female. My father had a triple by-pass with a pigs mitral valve.
              Thankyou for any response's, Lupines

                Welcome to the message board. It sounds like you've done amazingly well in a very short time for all that you've been through. You are also working very long days so soon after a major procedure. Sleeping problems have been a complaint from others from time to time. I'm sure you will get some input from others on this. Do you ever have a nite that you feel you slept really well, or is it always the same? Your body does have a lot of adjusting to do after big surgeries like this, plus you've most likely had a lot of different meds to deal with, whether temporary or ongoing. Linda
