We had always had a really healthy diet veggies fish you know the usual stuff We are not big beef eaters and exercise. The decline in my husbands health was pretty dramatic ( he had been diagnosed at 43 and had surgery40 years later) we had been hiking in Rwanda to see the gorillas in sept 2017 a pacemaker/ defibrillator implanted 3 months later. We live at 4500ft so exercise became really difficult with several episodes of syncope So was not allowed to walk alone. He was truely compromised prior to surgery but he did really well post surgery , out of hospital on the 4th day and flew home to California 2 days later. His recovery was amazing which I think was because he didn’t have co morbid conditions. His diet was the same and he continued a glass of wine every day 😊🍷
I don’t think he realized how compromised he was until after the surgery.
My thoughts are with you, take care this is the BEST support group you will meet anywhere.
Take care
