thank you to every who supported me through my uncles bypass, valve and aneurysm surgery. you answered questions and gave me advice.
He is finally home after 3 weeks, he ended up having a pacemaker also due to low heart rate after surgery. He’s had little falls, he had dizzy spells before but got bad after surgery, with small blackouts. One point thinking he had a stroke. He had numerous CT and other scans for his head and abdomen due to pain after eating. All came back clear and no issues, no one knows why he gets pain after he eats. He’s kept me on my toes, he was told no more scans due to radiation. They changed him from warfarin to aspirin and found a difference. He has no regrets and been one heck of a journey, he’s half the size so will get him some home cooking inside of him. But most of all he’s on the mend giving me cheek and back annoying me. After loosing my own dad when he was 61 due to cancer I was terrified I’d be in that situation again. The surgeon is a miracle worker. My uncle may have communication needs and learning issues but he makes me smile each day. Thank you all

Hello
I told you he would be home
This was so good to read and I can feel the love and happiness in your post that he is back where he belongs with you and your Mum
I hope he annoys you and keeps giving you some cheek I think deep down you know your Uncle is well when he is
As a family I hope you have the best Christmas even now as there is certainly a lot of love in your house it has shone threw every post you have written
We are still here if you need to talk and hope when you can you will update us how you are all getting on x
thank you and very grateful for everyone’s support.
He’s definitely challenged me, the abdominal pain unfortunately is still there but he had every scan bar magic eye. 3rd day home and already seeing the improvement. He has no regrets, he’s lost a lot of weight so will get him back to comfortable weight. So proud of him for how strong he is. The surgery was a success, pacemaker is in. I wished I’d read more about about recovery.
He has every test done so at least you know there is nothing wrong and in time that pain hopefully will improve he will be more relaxed now he is home start eating better and it can be surprising what that alone can do
You always make me feel you feel you should be doing more or know more regarding the situation but none of us do but one thing you do and he is very lucky is you love your Uncle so much it comes through the messages and he is lucky and with you caring and loving him as you do he is going to be just fine x
