From the Introduction
Open-heart surgery stops the clock on ordinary life and sets it running again at a different pace. The weeks before and the months after ask things of a person — and of the people who love them — that no pamphlet quite prepares you for.

About this volume
Inside this volume
Fifty people write about heart bypass surgery in full: the decision-making process, the surgery itself, the discomforts of early recovery, and the longer work of cardiac rehabilitation. They are candid about fear, about setbacks, and about the gradual return of something resembling ordinary life.
Who it's for
For patients approaching or recovering from open-heart surgery, and for the partners, adult children, and caregivers trying to understand what lies ahead.
