Heart Attack 2

After the confirmation of the attack, the doctor recommended bypass surgery. My father was not ready for surgery. Thinking to take second opinion, my father was discharged from hospital.

The second opinion also confirmed the need of the bypass surgery. My father had neither diabetes nor blood pressure. So the doctor felt compared to other patients, my father 's condition was less risky. But without the surgery, it was very risky. Finally we were ready for the surgery. And my father too.

In the month of January 2019, he was operated successfully. During the operation it was revealed that there was a problem with his lungs. They were like black grapes.  This was the effect of his smoking habits. My father used to smoke a lot. Soon after his retirement, he did quit smoking. But the effect of the habit was huger than he had thought.

However the lungs would start to recover, once anyone quits smoking. My father was discharged with the next visit date for checkup and the prescription of medicines which he should take regularly.
