Need advice for dad’s recovery
Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask for some advice because my dad is having CABG x3 surgery today and our whole family is kind of overwhelmed.
He’s 52, overweight, has high cholesterol, recently had high blood pressure, and just found out he’s pre diabetic too. He also has anxiety/depression and takes Effexor. His EKG was normal but his troponin levels were really high, so after the angiogram they said bypass surgery was the best option.
At first I was terrified about the surgery itself, but now I’m mostly worried about how to take care of him once he’s home. It’s just me, my brothers, and my mom helping out, and this all happened so suddenly that none of us have really had time to process it.
I’d really appreciate any advice about recovery at home, what to expect, things to watch out for, or honestly anything you think would help. We’re all trying our best and just feel really scared right now.
Thank you
