hi all sorry i havent been on line the last couple of days, been flat out. Daryl had his op replacement of 5 arteries and valve repair, he is in allot of pain and not a happy chappie, has bad nausea and has realised that he now has an allergy to morphine, never bothered him before. 

but does now makes him throw up fun when you have had open heart and all your sternum has been cut through, OUCH .

he is struggling but it is early days yet, i will keep you posted.  i am okay just soooooooo tired. off to bed

    Hi Fran,

     You have a big load  supporting your husband. Five arteries and a valve repair, sounds like a huge operation. I do hope he has less pain and discomfort soon.

    Hope you can get some rest also.

    Regards, Kathy.

    yes he is improving each day , has his good and bad days , yestyerday he was very down and had pain and palpitations which we were told can happen, it just all time now and him being patient which he is good at , he isnt a sook thankfully but he does get frustrated at not being able to do things, i keep reminding him it could be worse. and he agrees.

    16th jan hi all well yesterday Daryl had his 70th birthday which we didnt think he would make a few weeks ago. he is slowly improving still having up and down days, and his blood pressure is still down and his heart rate still up a bit. see's our gp on friday so will have his check up and medications re adjusted.

    see's the cardiologist in another 3 weeks and will be told when he can drive and also if he needs to stay on the heart pills.

    he knows this is his second chance so wwe have twice as much reason to grab life with both hands. thanks for all the wishes.
