Hope everything comes out in your favor.
My own personal take on it. . . if I ever have to go through something like that, I'll take the bypass. No stop gap measures. I've known enough people now that had bypasses and they're all doing fine. My mom had stents put in a few years ago and she's running into the same issue you are. She told the doctors she wanted a bypass the first time, they told her no. She's pissed.
Walking the shore and fishing is more stressful than being in the water and fishing, isn't it? Or is that just me. I don't get the no wading part.
