Hi guys! As my subject says, I'm here for my (very young) 80 year old dad. He had a quadruple bypass surgery on September 10th and experienced some a-fib but has had a normal rhythm since returning home.
I am worried because he's regressing physically and struggling mentally. When he came home from the hospital he was walking around and doing pretty well. Now, he's shuffling and using a cane.. he can barely go up and down stairs.
His tests and numbers look great but it's as if he's going backwards and has ages a decade in the past week.
He goes to his cardiologist on Wednesday and will be starting cardio therapy soon after.
I'm worried. Is this normal?
