Be sure the ride has a vomit bag,some water, if a long ride, maybe some pudding, have your helpers walk with you, no cane, you will want to hold chest, in case you cough.Have a bathroom set up with space heater, ilyou will have first shower since before the operation, while waiting, be sure someone gets your medications.Would be nice to have food in the house and really lucky if anyone visits .Do not start smoking or drinking, prolong taking pain meds, you may need later, they will not give you more, they think everyone becomes addicted, in the long run that stuff could take over, be careful!
I had a quad bypass recently(November 2018)..in hospital 3 weeks because I contracted a liver infection..medicated with anti-biotics...the moment they told me I could go home was wonderful!. How are you doing 7 years on?.
all the best
Ok, he is not a real patient since we didn't see a scar, and he seemed to be moving almost normally and without ever feeling discomfort to quickly, I am about to have bypass surgery and I know that I won't be moving this much this quickly.
How did you do? ❤
@@tamellaoc Things actually went as well for me as you can possibly have things go.
Now, I'm not trying to sound macho here, no lying, I am an older person, not needing to lie: I never felt pain, soreness, awkwardness one time, NOT ONE TIME. I never moaned, never rubbed my chest, don't even have itchiness either. My surgeon's mouth almost dropped open when I told him that I didn't feel anything. Walked FIVE TIMES in the hospital, one time was 275- 300 ft. To this day NOTHING, it was like it never happened. Drove nine days out of the hospital, grocery shopping, going out to eat, etc, back in the gym working my arms and legs on machines in one month - I have been working out for over two decades so that helped a lot. Some guys say that when they had open heart surgery that it felt like they got hit by a truck, over two decades of lifting really helped me out a lot. Running after three months too. No exaggeration
