we moved and made friends with a couple shortly afterward.
They live across town here, so we tend to see them once or twice a month. He is in his early 70s. Fairly good health. Eats healthy. Slim. Mild concern re blood sugar.
We went out of town for two days for my husband’s work. Right before he had a weird cardiac type incident. I got some concerning texts from her. Was not able to reach her.
Yesterday, I got a text saying F’s open heart surgery went well.
Omg. I texted back “Can I call you?” She said that he just got out of surgery and to wait and she would call me. I said great and that maybe we could visit Sunday or Monday if he felt ok. She did not text back last night or as of yet this morning.
Bottom line...I know very little about recuperation of this type of surgery.
Anybody been through this or close to someone who has?
1. Do they tend to be in icu long?
2. Can they typically have visitors after a few days?
3. How long is recuperation?
4. How painful is it?
5. Would flowers be appropriate? If so, now or in a few days?
Thank you.
