Dad got moved from the ICU upstairs to the regular cardiac ward today. The orderlies sorta dropped him into bed, which caused him immense amounts of pain, but he’s doing okay. His throat’s a mess, from the extended use of the breathing tube, so swallowing his pills has been tough.
To put it bluntly, he’s pretty miserable right now. But he knows this is all for the best, and we’re both amazed by the fact that bypass patients are usually able to leave the hospital 4-6 days after surgery.
So make with the hopes and prayers for a speedy recovery, wouldja?
And be well. If you’re reading this, it means you care.
