Cardiac Bypass surgery 2 weeks after 

Sense of humor: intact ✅ Good looks: ✅ Great attitude: ✅ You have the right mindset. Your recovery is going great. Don’t rush the rehab; you’ll get to where you want to be in time. If you’re up to it and find it interesting or fun you might give visualization archery a try. You can do it seated or laying and mimic with empty hands or simply imagine the act. If you like to be outside you might do it there. “Shoot” and “feel” a couple ends in your mind for fun and even watch videos of yourself shooting, imagining and reliving the feelings you are familiar with is great training and I think it’s something you’d really excel at because of your mental toughness and genuine enjoyment of life. I’ll shoot some arrows for you too 👍. thanks for sharing. Heal up, buttercup! 🏹 🌈

Please keep us all posted on your recovery. A piece of advice, go easy on yourself and look forward to accomplishing the little goals of recovery. Start small, accomplish that goal and repeat. And build up to the bigger goals, don't get discouraged as long as you keep moving forward!! Love and prayers to you, Steve. Blessings

Glad to see your able to share what you’ve been through so far! I know it’s a tough thing to go through. Been watching and enjoying your videos for a few years now. Your a strong man and will make it through this . Had cancer a few years ago and it really is tough coming back from these things. Will be praying 🙏🏻 for a full recovery and a long life!

Steven God bless you…I went thru the same thing last yr, but I had a major heart attack…I going to encourage you to take it slow, but continue to walk every day. It took me 6months and I worked out from December thru August and got myself back in archery shape - brother your going to do great…keep a positive attitude don’t listen to anyone who tells you your life is going to change..I told my doctor I’m going back to my normal life and activities…I’m 65 and shooting competitively and have won several tournaments…I say this because you and I grew up very similar after listening to your podcast…keep the faith and thank God for your blessings and good doctors. I’ll be praying for you Steven - hang in there🙏🙏🙏

I’ve been watching your videos for years.I’m so glad you made it through surgery and hope you have a speedy recovery and wish you the best!

I had triple bypass surgery in 2015. You will feel great soon. 👍

I am 72. As a young man, I ran, lifted weights, and did martial arts. At 43, I began to have sensations I knew were not normal. It lead to a one bypass heart surgery (the widow maker). 10 years later I had one stent put in on the back side lower sections of my heart, which was not super critical; that was in 2003. I have not had a heart episode since. What I learned was that the technology is incredible. About 9 months after surgery, I began to shoot my recurve again. At some point I returned to weight lifting and martial arts training. The point? You have many miles ahead of you. Get your diet where it needs to be, keep up the exercise and be patient. You have many good days ahead.

Had 5 way bypass 2 years ago first few months were no fun,never had to do any pre operation drugs or anything.just go into hospital ,next day it was done .give it six months and you’ll be back to normal.

Just had a double bypass 2 weeks ago, the widow maker almost got me, Everything you describe sounds exactly like how I feel, I'm going to follow along and I thank you for the great detail. This is a rough surgery and recovery, coughing is brutal painful.

Steve thank you for sharing your experience mate, all our thoughts and prayers are with you for an awesome recovery

I am only 5 days finished from a quintuple bypass, and am finding comfort in your videos. Not much information as in videos are available to let us know what is relatively normal or not. I also have some anxiety, so not having a lot of info on what is expecting or what I should expect is crucial for me. Thank you for your videos, i know they are over a year old but I enjoy it greatly.

Had a major heart attack, and bypass surgery. I KNOW what you are going through. Heard the doctor say the same thing about the truck.🙏🙏 I was in the ICU for 3 weeks, had 2 emergency procedures, and was life-lined back to the hospital,after being home for 1 day. This was 4 1/2 years ago.

Nice to see you back Steve. Take care of yourself and take it slowly. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

So excited to see you’re doing well and sharing your experience story. Keep your head up high Steven you are stronger than you think and our prayers will help you through this temporary healing soon you’ll be shooting again and we all can’t wait for new content take care of yourself and know that you’re not alone and will be victorious in due time

Glad to see you are doing well ! My dad went through a quadruple bypass in the mid 80s and that was a new procedure back then and he made a full recovery

Great to see that you’re back. Take time to recover and get back in the saddle!

Days in the hospital- my 76 year old friend got stung by a yellow jacket wasp. He’s allergic to their venom. Was out in the pasture 70 miles from hospital. Local paramedic got life flight chopper, his second time doing this bee sting thing, to the hospital. Had a heart attack as they landed. His damage was unrepairable in this town so they flew him 500 miles toDallas. He ended up 72 days in the hospital. He’s back feeding his cattle like it never happened. This was like 6-7 years ago. Toughest SOB I EVER KNEW.

I feel your pain. Had the same op' ten years ago. Everything you've described is normal. Yep you feel like you've been in a car crash. It will get better honestly. It just takes time. I used to set exercise goals. Walk to the bottom of the drive, walk to the lampost, walk round the block. Be patient it will improve. Good luck

Great to see that your recovery is traveling normally. So sorry that you had to go through all this. I’ve watched most of your vids. It is so good to get a patient’s perspective on the details of their ordeal. These procedures are much more common now but those of us without direct experience can’t emphasize and understand properly. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery Steve. Take care.

Thanks for the update, glad the surgery went well and you are back home safely. As others have said, little steps to start. You youngsters rush too much. Best wishes from Cornwall UK.

What an amazing story for anyone at risk from heart problems. I'm looking forward to hearing a lot more from you giving inspiration to others who may have gone through similar surgery.

My thoughts to you Steven, please take care of yourself. The archery community needs genuine people like you! All the best!

Steven I'm very happy your doing well!!!! You hang in there! Stay strong.....God bless from Oregon

Oh wow I've been watching your channel for a few yrs I had no ideal you had an issue, I'm glad you're ok and you can continue your passion of archery , I have been into archery since I was 13 im 56 now , I have saw the archery world evolve to what it is today, I've shot in various tournaments here in the states I've won some and lost alot there are some very good shooters in the industry including you I've never been to the shoot in Vegas I admire that you were able to that you will still have many yrs ahead of you take it easy everything will be ok stay safe and god bless you

We love you Steve.. Happy to see you're out mate. I imagine it's goanna be hard getting back to 100%, but hopefully not too long. Stay strong mate. God bless

Great to see you back. You've been through more than most of us ever will be faced with and from here on things will only get better. Best wishes for 2023 & a full recovery.

Get better Steven. I'm rooting for you sir.

Glad your getting better mate, hopefully be back to 100% in no time, I've been to public hospital a few times and it's been mixed experiences but it's very emotional, I do think the nurses need a pay rise, even putting up with me being nice to them still wouldn't be a fun job especially if you can't move and you probably felt more depressed from the pain killers and just laying in bed, I had a button that would put 40mg of morphine and after using it would come back on in 15 minutes and the nurse said use it as much as possible but I used to have a addiction to opiates so I think I used it maybe 1 or 2 times a day and then said i didn't need it on 3rd day, I'm glad you knew to stay away from them, anyway glad to see your on the mend and can't wait to see you hitting x in no time.

We appreciate you sharing your medical journey. Hang in there and take it one day at a time and before you know it you'll be back at it.

Glad you’re back!!! Thank you for sharing. Please do not let them take your gallbladder! You need it to help digest good healthy fats!! You will regret letting them take it. Love your videos! Keep up thr good work, brother!!
