DWSUDEKUM Posted October 8, 2018 Report Posted October 8, 2018 I have known for a while that I will be needing to have some serious heart surgery done ( open heart ) and now I have a date. I will be in the hospital for that surgery coming up on October 30th. I am not looking forward to this happening as it will put me out of the shop for a good bit as I recover. Oh and did I mention I hate hospitals hehe. One of the good things however is that my cardiac surgeon is one of the top in the field here in the US. Hopefully things will go as planned and everything works out. I am hoping that my recovery will be short and relatively pain free, yea... right... well... I did say relatively hehe. My hope is that when it is all done with that a fair amount of my health issues will go away and the amount of medications I will have to take will decrease significantly. I will keep y'all in the loop as things get closer and afterward. DW bradnjackie 1 Quote

tgiro Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 The wife went through that new years 2017. They'll give you a pillow to hold against your chest to help with pain when you cough. Be sure to have every nurse & doctor that touches you sign that pillow - it's a bragging point. They give you a gadget to help you regulate your breathing - use it - use it - use it. We'll keep you in our thoughts. Good luck DW, just do everything the pretty nurses and the nice doctors tell you. bradnjackie 1 Quote
