I know how rough the surgery is. My husband is now three weeks out from his surgery. It was a rough go of it and 8 days in the hospital. Since he has the heart bypass surgery, just seven weeks prior to compare this to, he said, this one was worse. However, the right rib cage, where they did, the thoracotomy is still sore and requires the pain medicine twice a day. But he’s doing rather well. He’s already eating pudding, soups, and cream of wheat, and doing very well. No pain and no regurgitation or anything. He is walking about a half mile twice a day now. I can tell he is a little slower than the first surgery but he’ll get there.
I pray that the surgery went very well, and that he’s just a couple days from discharge. I will continue to pray for him.Blessings, Patti
