john's bipass

hi everyone who was so kind to me. john is good now. he spent 4 days in icu but it was because his b.p. was very low and they had to give him drugs to raise it. then they had to slowly wean him off. he is discharged in the a.m. he is doing well. meanwhile i woke up sunday a.m. and every muscle ached and i could barely walk. i had a fever and so i went to e.r. they found out i had 2 infections so put me on antibiotics. our daughter is flying here to care for us.for a week, i think it will be better for john as 2 weeks approaches. they say you turn a corner. he says that he will in no way ever have this again but i think that he loves life and as he says this now he would continue to listen to his doctor. he said it just takes everything out of you. i believe that but if it gives you years of a good life then wow. i am sure shortly he would have had a heart attack. so thank you wonderful people for all the thoughts and prayers. i see we have 300 dollars now 200 to go. jessie

hi Jessie, When my husband had his bipass he was only very young so when he got home his sister came to take care of him( she is a nursing sister) but when she arrived on the farm he was already in the paddock on the tractor trying to catch up on all the work he was behind with, she ended up going home in tears.He is still doing okay now that he is 61y, I know it's over twenty y ago, we have only been married for 16 y.
I hope your husband will feel better soon,and yourself too Jessie love marie
