I answered the phone when Jim called. It sounds as though they're planning to do bypass surgery, possibly "next week." I got the impression they'd keep him in the hospital until he had the surgery. When a similar thing happened to my dad, the doctors said they wouldn't let him go home without the surgery. Little did they know that my stubborn dad didn't want the surgery; he wanted to try the Dean Ornish Reversing Heart Disease program for a year and see how he did. That was two years ago. He's doing great, and the doctor admitted to us that dad probably made the right decision for him. I told Jim I'm going to send him the book. He said the doctor told him he'd have to make some major lifestyle changes. Having bypass surgery and stents and angioplasty doesn't mean much if you don't change the lifestyle that got you there in the first place. Alan's stepfather's bypasses are all occluded because he basically hasn't changed much. Jim said he's determined to make the necessary changes. He's a young man (well, he's our age) with a lot of life ahead of him.
