Belated well wishes to your husband as he recovers -- and to you, as well. Like someone else said, the caretaker needs to be cared for, too! I've had a few friends and family members have heart attacks and/or surgeries, and the lifestyle changes are tough. Some folks adapt to them very quickly and easily, others don't. One of our friends had triple bypass surgery, yet he STILL refuses to give up all the bad things in his diet, and he does very little exercise. As hard as it is to make those changes, some people don't even get the chance . . . their first heart emergency is their last. Thankfully your husband had this early warning, and together you can work on getting him recovered and strong, ready to make the lifestyle changes that will keep him healthy for a very long time! Take care, and healing vibes being sent your way!
