Well I'm sort of back - reading on what everyone has been doing the past couple of weeks -
my DH had open heart - Aeortic valve replacement surgery on
Oct 5 and I have been a little preoccupied..
eating terrible - way too many carbs and gained 4 pounds...
well, he is doing quite well... caught a cold and is in pain from the coughing but the surgery went great..

Glad you're back!    I'm so glad your husband is doing well, isn't modern medicine amazing!     Take care of yourself so you can help take care of him.    Try to get your protein in and lots of water.  Even a bit of exercise if you can ---- all this will make you stronger & help you thru this time.     Sorry if I sound like I'm preaching --- actually, things have been a bit rough for me & this is exactly what I am telling myself & attempting to do for myself!!!

Thanks Jan,
am trying to get in my water - at least am doing my vitamins... we got a bishon in June and so my job is to walk him a couple of times a day - good exercise for me...
carbs and sweets are my downfall right now -
now that I am back I am going to try harder...
DH is getting a little better now that he is on cough meds from the doctor..

Sheri,

My uncle had that done and it helped him tremendously, as Jan said, modern medicine is simply amazing. 

Please take care of you!

thanks Laureen,
the heart is doing well and the incision is healing well - pain is mainly from the coughing he says...
amazing what doctors can do now..
not so good at taking  care of me.. but I intend to try harder..

Judy thanks so much for the virtual hugs... really do need them.. and I hope to get back on track now that I am back on OH - the support is what is needed...
prayers going up for your brother as well - we sure understand the problems - is he going to be having physio - my DH will start an exercise plan 3 times a week starting at the end of November... as he is unable to drive right now, that is part of my stress...

Thanks Connie
Feels good to know that I was missed - taking care of me is usually the last thing going - still babysit the grands twice a week - harder to keep them still with DH not up to their exuberence..
prayers are always welcome in this home and would appreciate if they are kept up...
