Well I'm happy to let people know that it is much better, my angina is not too bad either. I guess patients and taking one day at a time is the best way to go.I feel that I am on that long road of recovery and I will get through this.thanks liz http://www.healthcentral.com/heart-disease/c/51019/17814/pain http://www.healthcentral.com/heart-disease/c/51019/17268/pain-days Mon, 03 Dec 2007 14:58:00 -0500 Liz Hi there, I'm a 53 year old female that had a double heart by-pass done on Oct. 1, 20007.
