80's are Not like they were even 10 years ago. You are really in your 60's.
You just have to wait for the medical community to finally get updated on this...and by then their operating techniques will be Safer.
You are in a better position then you think 🙂 (I'm 79 and have plenty of problems too)

@jamiemj 86 here and have 4.6.Cardiologist said he has many patients with that size.Explained to him that I feel like dead man walking after reading about Drs not wanting to do surgery on our age.Am very active and consider myself in good shape for almost 87.Guess I should stop reading about it!

@jamiemj Thank you I need to begin to be hopeful instead of depressed as I imagine others are at time too..
