A last update on another husband

I’ve just brought Vince home from the hospital and he’s gone straight to bed. He looks pretty exhausted but I’m sure he’ll improve from day to day. It’s nice to have him home. He’s back in the hospital bed with the head raised just a little. You might remember we bought that bed when he had his heart operation. He has a collapsed lung and has to sleep on his left side and fairly flat. He has a heap of breathing exercises to do and has to walk a lot. There will also be visits to a physio for a while at least. So that’s another chapter in our book of our life. The photo is of a patch of spider orchids.

I will do that. With all the lovely people wishing him well, he can't help but get better.

@judyev Your book of life has certainly been a page turner lately and you’ll be wanting a slow, gentle read for a while now.

I’m so glad you don’t have to worry about that spot now. I’m sure as each day passes he’ll feel better and better.

Thanks, Amber. I'm sure you're right. Plenty of rest and doing the exercises will make all the difference.

I didn't want him home while he was really ill but we should be right now. He has awful coughing spells from time to time which wear him out. But I'm sure it will all come good.

I guess you meant 're-inflate the lung' but spell check got in the way. It seems they're treating it with physio and exercises.

Thanks. Two months they're saying and no driving for a week or so. Luckily he had recovered quite well from the heart surgery.

@Ronrybs I gave the wrong impression. He is only in the hospital bed when he sleeps. They had him sitting up in a chair the morning after the operation. They said it could take two months to get over the op but we're going for short walks and extending the distance each day. That's the plan anyway.

@JudyEv Hope he gets mobile quickly, two months lying down wouldn't be good!

My heart sank when they told me but they still let him come home. I only remember it as being very serious but it seems it's not necessarily so bad after all.
