My uncle is 75 and he had valve replacement surgery during the summer. He recovered completely–didn’t look so hot after 10 days (but he didn’t look so hot before either!) but 2 weeks after that, he was absolutely fine, much, much better than before. He’s very active, not overweight, etc. Donatella, I know that there’s a huge difference between 75 and 88–my dad is 87. I’m sure you know that he may be very disoriented in the beginning. Don’t let that scare you (well, try not to!).
donatella, you are absolutely right about your dad’s frame of mind and the pstchological effect that has on recovery from anything. I had a conversation with someone about a year ago who developed lymphoma and told him about my ability to get through something by having the right attitude to overcome it.
Lots of people think it’s beyond their control and then become depressed and that transaltes into a weaker system. it can snowball. People with a really positive mental attitude can sail through these things
m4l, my building still wasn’t shoveled when I left for work, and I went in late today. I had to clear a path for CDog at 6am. So glad I’m overpaying for the luxury of having a “super”.
DeLepp, I actually enjoy doing it myself and the comraderie with the neighbors. I think they’d think I was some sort of elitist if I paid someone to do it.
Those were Reagan times where we all relied on trickle down economics for our beer.
My aunt, who was 94 at thetime, had a stent put in when she had cancer. They were trying to open a passage to her liver. She came through that fine but it didn’t help anything at that point.
Right about the after effects of anesthesia. My doctor told me the longer you are under, the longer it lasts- my last emergency surgery was 6 hours. It took me nearly a year to get past that.
