Some Good News!
Posted By crates on January 30, 2010
My father returned home from the hospital today! He had open heart surgery last Monday (Jan 25) which went very well. I guess they said that he could have gone home yesterday (Friday), but he said he wasn’t ready to leave yet! Four days seems like a very short stay after such major surgery, but I guess that is the norm now if the patient is doing well. He was in ICU until Wednesday. He is at my sister’s place where he will stay for about the next two weeks as he recovers. I sincerely thank everybody for their prayers and good wishes.
Needless to say I am very relieved and overjoyed that he is doing so well. He has never had any sort of major illness, no surgery, and as a child, I can’t remember him ever being sick. His experience which seemed to come out of the blue with no warning (good cholesterol levels, blood pressure about 120/70, etc) makes me much more determined to live the sort of lifestyle that precludes such problems–exercise, proper diet, etc.
