Quad Bypass Surgery


Rachelle's uncle Paul from Chilliwack had a small heart attack 2 weeks ago. He came through alright but it seems as though his arteries were a mess. Apparently its a genetic thing. Paul and Gail eat really well. I can vouch for that from every barbeque and party we went to in Chilliwack.

Yesterday they opened him up and replaced 4 arteries near his heart with good ones that they stripped out of his legs and arms. This must have been a messy operation. Sounds like they crack open the sternum and spread everything apart to get at all the key bits.

We went to see him tonite. He was a bit groggy, but in typical Paul fashion still had me busting a gut. The guy is amazing! Get well soon, Paul!
