Cabg issues

[Hoxley77]

Hi

My dad went in to hospital for cabg last monday. He was so happy about getting it done so quickly. It was all good until he had an episode the following night, we believe a heart attack. He has damage now to his heart. He is still on a ventilator and they are trying to keep him stable. I am so scared and feel sick all the time and dont know whether he can come through this.

Dear Hoxley77

How very worrying for you , your poor Dad is in my thoughts as well as you.

So it seems a little early to over worry { easy said than done } as it’s all very new for you both.

I am sure that once your Dad has been stabilised his medical team will have a better picture for you both.

You are in my thoughts at this difficult time for you both

The good thing is that he was able to be treated very quickly, which should minimise the damage.I hope you get better news soon. I send loving greetings to you both.

Here is an update, my dad was in a coma from december to february. He came home in march but very weak. He was discharged from hospital very unsteady on his feet. He has lost a lot of weight, pains in his leg where the veins were taken, still very unsteady on his feet, cannot get in or out the bath, got mrsa where he had a tracheostomy, got covid on the heart ward, is hardly eating, very shaky hands, chest is painful, struggling to sleep, dizzy, out of breath, vomiting quite a lot, he had water retention so walking was even worse, hardly left the house as so unstable, no help really from anyone they just say you have been through a lot but i need some help or advice on what i can do or where i can get proper and worthy help for him.
