CABG recovery & visitation expectations?

My experience was in a local hospital. Getting admitted a day early was a blessing. I was well educated about the process in the next 7 days. I met 3 shifts of nurses ahead of time who would continue with my care throughout. I remember waking up afterwards with restraints and wanting to get the ventilator removed. My wife holding my hand at that specific time made all the difference in the world to me. It surely comforted me as I was extremely anxious and delirious. Best wishes and prayers.

This is so powerful to hear, and just affirms to me that I do need to try and be with him as much as possible especially in those initial hours. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you're doing well.

Mayo hospital keep patient sedated if the ventilator has to stay in. My hubby's had to stay in for over 4 hours, cuz they didn't like his "numbers". He stayed sedated so didn't experience the anxiety. But none the less scary for me and my kids...seemed like forever.
