Hello Dawnie

I was thinking about you just the other day and wondering where you were.

I was on the verge of posting a thread to ask if anyone had heard anything from you.

I see you have been all tied up with family commitments.

All fingers crossed for your Dad ........and all good wishes in the hope that when he arrives home, it wont be too long before he regains his appetite and makes a full and speedy recovery.

<3 <3

His hospital meals havent been too bad but they havent thought that after having your chest cracked etc you dont want a full meal and just want jelly and ice cream which they have taken off the menu. He did have a lovely girl who took the orders and if they fancied something on the menu that wasnt very much she would order them 2 of it just to get them eating.

Have said to nurses when visiting that if he was moaning he was getting better and cant fault the nurses there they have beren brilliant with him oh appart from one mrs grumpy but will put that down to a bad day.

Once he is home, hopefully his appetite will increase. Meals in hospitl tend to b a bit hit and miss, and lets face it, who wants cold toast? At home he can have what he fancies when he fancies withing his diabetic constraints.

Dont push heavy meals at him, dad far prefered lighter food for a bit, but more frequently. Dont try the ''nice roast dinner'' for a bit, stick to lighter things'on toast' soups and progress to' potato' meals. Little and often might be better than '' sorry its not what you ordered but all thats left'' on the hospital meal trolley.

Wishing your Dad a speedy recovery from his op.
It can't have been easy for you all getting to hospital and looking out for Mum, so it will be lovely if he can be home for her birthday.

my dad follow advice lol

Maggie he has seemed better the past few days just fed up of no appetite and still seeing thngs because of the bubbles in his blood where he was put on bypass all normal they say but very weird for him. Sure once hes home he will come on in leaps and bounds be nice for mum to have him home before weekend as its her birthday then,

Dawnie, I wish your dad a speedy recovery. I am an insulin dependent diabetic and I had a triple heart bypass at the end of 1993.

As long as he takes it easy for the first few weeks, watches his diet, takes his medication, and follows his doctor's/practice nurse's advice he should be fine :-)

Wishing your Dad a speedy recovery.

I know what it's like making sure they don't do too much( my OH had same op 6 yrs ago) but small amounts of exercise will aid his recovery.

Just a little everyday together with some good food.
Take care
