I appreciate your follow-up response. Please let us know how things go with the bypass surgery. These surgeries, while major, are pretty routine now, and should give your husband a great health future once the blockages are removed. I have a friend who had this done 10 years ago who is now the picture of health. Take care.

You have to be strong! While this is routine, your husband will be going through a lot of stress. And under the influence of certain medications may not be himself. So don't take his reactions soon after the surgery personally. When you bring him home he will need a lot of help and support. He will find sitting up in a recliner more restful. And the day he comes home, he will feel like he is not ever going to heal. He will. It takes time. Hold his hand, be patient. We will hold yours (virtually)! And we will pray that everything goes smoothly. The surgeons are talented, and the ICU nurses are angels. With COVID if they don't let you visit him, just let him know through the staff that you are always there. With all that this is major surgery. He will feel much better after he recovers for a few months. Be brave! Be strong! We are all here for you.
