All these %age rates for survival I take with a pinch of salt. And that's bad for you aswell.

In a way I was lucky in that when I had my bypass- I had it done at a new facility in Brighton. In fact- Since it opened- I was the 98th person to have a bypass. So there I was sitting there the night before the op and they tell the problems.-I had a 1 % chance of not surviving the operation. I had a 1% chance that I would suffer a stroke that could be fatal. I had a 1% chance that the operation would be a success but would cause problems within a week.

So there I was- No 98 and the good news is that they had not had anyone die in them yet. Hold on- 98+3--????


Luckily the Doctors humour survived aswell.
