Synopsis

"I shouldn't be here to write these words - statistically, I should be dead."

In May 2025, Andy Wheeler suffered a Widowmaker heart attack - the kind most people don't survive. Against the odds, he lived. Within days, he was undergoing triple bypass surgery and facing a recovery that would test every part of him.

Inside you'll find:

  • A raw, human account of surviving the odds
  • Honest insight into recovery beyond the hospital walls
  • Practical tools: trackers, checklists, and prompts
  • Guidance for carers and loved ones

Andy shares what he went through - and what he wished he'd known. Honest, compassionate and practical, this book will help you face surgery with clarity, courage, and hope.

What Early Readers Are Saying

5/5 "This is the kind of book I wish more patients had access to before surgery. Anyone preparing for heart surgery or supporting a loved one through it will likely find something helpful within these pages." — Abigail L, Librarian

5/5 "An honest look at surviving a major heart scare and figuring out life afterwards. If you've ever wondered what life is really like after open-heart surgery, this book lays it all out in a way that's easy to connect with." — Paige T, Reviewer

5/5 "Informative without feeling clinical and encouraging without pretending recovery is easy. This book offers the kind of reassurance that only comes from someone who has walked the road himself." — Sue E, Reviewer

I just finished reading your book and what a blessing of information it is!!!!

Every thought, every feeling, every fear, every emotion is right on the money!!!!

My surgery was on May 18th, and I am making progress. Start rehab July 1st and am sooo looking forward to it.

Thank you for such an easy read!!!!*
