Found out today that my dear dad is on the list for a triple bypass. It will be sometime in the next 3 months.
He's had 2 stents before so is pretty up to speed with the procedure he's going to have this time...it does sounds brutal though! He's having grafts from veins in his legs to his heart & he's prepared to feel very battered & bruised afterwards.
He will be in intensive care for a few days then on a ward until he's discharged. He's 66 and not the fittest person really so I am a bit worried but he sounded very positive when I spoke to him earlier.
Obviously I'd like to help him however I can. Anyone have good suggestions for anything I can do or take to him when he's in hospital? I know he can't drive for minimum 6 weeks so I am prepared for ferrying duty! My workplace is only 10 mins from the hospital so I'll be able to pop in regularly.
Thanks!
