so my cardiologist tried to re-inflate it. That caused my heart to stop during the procedure, so he had to paddle me back to life. He stopped at that point, knowing I would need a single bypass. I had to stick around like you did for 5 days to get off a blood thinner, then I was operated on. The toughest part of the recovery involved getting moisture out of my lungs. It took awhile before I was back to normal. But I was grateful for prayers, a blessing and the talent of great doctors and staff.
