Feeling Hopeful
Update
A short update while I have the time before the week begins and I end up too tired when I get home from work.
I brought my BF home from the hospital yesterday. They discharged him straight from the ICU. He was there for two days to make sure he was stabilized from the stents.
He tells me he feels better than he has in a good while. He still faces open heart surgery in six weeks. He needs time for the stents to heal. He is saying he needs only one bypass done. I'm not sure where the 3 came from at first.
Of course, I worry but there's not much to do. I need to get over it because what will be will be. We've talked a good many things over about me being his power of attorney for health decisions. He has other things he wants me to do also. I told him to take it easy for a day or two and then we'll take care of this stuff. He's very independent. He's back to getting that way again today but yesterday he was sort of clingy and hated being that way. He can't stand being dependent on anyone but realizes just how much he needs and depends on me. LOL...the cement that holds things together.
So.....life moves on for now. I'm sort of glad I have work to keep me occupied but then again I did have two days of pool time, which was great. It rained again here today. Back to the grind again. Thanks for your continued prayers and good thoughts. Love n Hugs to all....CHRIS

Chris.....So glad to hear your b/f is home. Things will be okay. I think once he has the surgery and is recovering, he'll be back to his independent self. Will keep him and you in my prayers. I know what it's like for someone you love to go thru stent surgery then 3 bypasses surgery.
Hugs,
Dana

If you want to chat, then email me. My partner went through open heart surgery just about this time last year (valve replacement). He was only in his early 50s, so a lot to take in for both of us. We had to make decisions about power of attorney and such like as well. One year on, life is good
