Description

“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

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.
