It isn't as bad as it looks

I'm glad that it's not as bad as it looks, because babe, it looks bad.

Sending prayers and thoughts. I will wait for the picture of him up and walking. I hope that you post it soon. Take care

I have to say his color is good which is a very positive sign. I am sure he will eventually get his strength back and walking will not be such a chore

How is he doing now Judy? Actually, he looks extremely well cared for in the pic..very comforting.

Poor Vince, I hope that by tomorrow most of those tubes will have been removed. My best wishes to him, I imagine he feels exhausted, but it is very important that he walks a bit every hour.

No one looks good in the hospital. Glad he is doing great

Yes, we’ll be praying! It’s hard to fathom the ordeal that that kind of surgery puts one through.

Short walk every hour ..the thought itself must be stressing him. But it is needed. :( My father has stopped taking walks and he takes them randomly. Earlier he was able to climb steps. Now he cannot, and even his step gap is coming down, it is becoming a shuffle. Men...sigh. How you gonna motivate him? Of course, I will pray. Hugs.

This is good news, I'm sure that soon he'll be back home

Judy, this picture says a thousand words. It leaves me fighting back the tears, I cannot imagine how you nor he feels. I will keep you both in my prayers, and I wish him only good health. Prayers for him for his continued improvement and you for nursing him back to health after he is discharged from the hospital.

Hopefully he gets into the private room and each and every day he gets better.

I'm really glad Vince is doing better than he looks (good thing you posted that as your title ). Hope he starts to feel better soon. Sending you both positive thoughts, good wishes and continued prayers.

My prayers are with you for his recovery.

Afterall, this is quite a big surgery. It takes a bit of time to recover. I wish him all the best.

Praying for you both! And do tell him (in case he didn’t pay attention to the doctors telling him) that it is “normal” to be exhausted after minimal effort at first after heart surgery. My dad barely made it walking from the chair they had him in to the bathroom in the room for the first few days. It will get better!!!

Oh no, poor Vince. I didn't know there was anything wrong with him. I really hope he recovers quickly. I will make sure to say a prayer for both of you.

Sending healing thoughts.

I will include your husband in my prayers. I know it is not easy seeing our loved ones sick. My husband had a bad fall last year. I cannot forget how worried and confused I was at that time—I was confused. I could not get exact details from the doctors because most of them could not speak English fluently. The emergency medical team could not answer my questions. Fortunately, my husband was conscious. I looked for signs of stroke but it didn't seem like it. He stayed at the hospital for three weeks. He was grumpy. I felt down whenever he was crabby. He would get upset at the slightest provocation sometimes, I wanted to cry. It took months for him to get better. I cannot say that he has fully recovered because he still has persistent pain in his hips. The orthopedic told me that it is a pinched nerve,

He has so many tubes. I hope he will feel better soon.

I know it is a very hard operation to recover from. Slow and steady...I hope he is out of ICU very soon.
