My husband had a quadruple bypass two weeks ago. He sleeps all day up like 10 minutes then falls asleep he does not want to walk outside to cold. He is very independent he does not ask me for anything. I do t know if I should stay home all day with him to try to keep his sprits up. I don’t want to nag him I feel guilty going out

@ekaminowitz, I see that this is your first post, and I would like to welcome you to Mayo Connect. We are glad to have you joined us here. I am a volunteer and I have no medical training. And I have no experience with bypass surgery or your current decision dilemma. I think that your confusion and concern of how to decide what is best for you and your husband is one that many of our members have/are experiencing. I would like to refer you to two discussion groups that might provide some helpful information.
In the Caregivers Group, you will meet @IndianaScott, who will have some ideas and will be able to introduce you to some related conversations. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/
In the Heart and Blood Health Group, you can meet others with heart/bypass experiences.
Peace and Strength

@stressedmesseddepressed, Thank you for this suggestion. I agree that asking our Doctor is always the best start.
@ekaminowitz, Have you spoken to his doctor? Is his recovery and his current sleepiness routine for being 2 weeks post surgery?

Why not ask his Doctors what the best course of action for you is re staying home and ask your husband what he prefers? (Me, I would like to have a loving wife by my side, encouraging me and showing loving acceptance and patience and "you'll be better than ever, Dear".
