Husband In Hospital Needs Operation.

Thinking of you both and sending love and prayers. Naturally you're worried and I hope you reach out and ask for some support through the coming weeks xx

Will do

Ring age concern for advice. They can provide support if you need it. you will both be assessed for being able to cope until he recovers which in the absence of family, may mean a stay in a convalescent facility for him and/or a care package to assist you both before he will be allowed to be discharged which may delay things while it is organised. They will want to install a key box and panic alarm. You will be means tested and you may well need to pay if you have funds. Your family really need to assist if they can. If the hospital can’t operate there are very effective medications which really work, so if they offer an operation rather than drugs that’s a positive thing. Prayers sent on their way for you both 💐

Praying for you and your hubby Nana x

Thinking of you both nanato3 🫂

Will certainly be thinking of your DH. Is there any way you and he could facetime? You will be desperate to see him.

Praying for you both. God Bless 💐

Thinking of you and your dear husband, Nanato3, sending love and prayers. 💕🙏

Just a thought, if you have WhatsApp on your phones, you can make free video calls.

Saying prayers for you and your husband. Cardiac surgery has moved on so much these days. Perhaps your dh is going to have stents fitted. In which case it is likely that your dh will be absolutely fine. My brother has had three fitted and that was a few years ago. All is well. God bless you.

So sorry for you both. Sending prayers and hope that the operation can go ahead soon.

I've just seen your message Nanato3 regarding your husband's condition with possibly surgery coming up and your own health problems. A prayer from New Zealand has just been prayed by me for you both. All the very best.

Sending you my deepest heart love and healing for you and your husband.

♥️🤞👃

Thinking of you. Please do as others have said and try to get help fir yourself.

Thank you all for your kind messages.
Hubby has been in hospital for a week today and in that time he has seen 3 different doctors all with different views.
Dr number 1 said he doesn't need surgery yet.
Dr number 2 said he needs surgery now and
Dr number 3 said he can't decide until he's had more tests.
Hubby should have had a test yesterday but it never happened and the porter came for him to go for surgery after he'd had breakfast Hoping that he has a test today.
I know consultants are busy people but a week in hospital with no treatment at all isn't on ! It's no wonder there are no beds !

Sending healing prayers and love to both of you...wishing you well and healed soon..xx❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

Gosh I do hope there are plans for next week. He must be exhausted x

When someone is admitted to hospital with a problem like that, the condition is not fixed at that moment.

It may improve because they are resting in bed with good nursing care. Or, it may worsen because other (unknown) medical factors are in play which will only be detected by observation, further tests, more detailed exams (MRI, x-ray, scans) recording multiple readings (of urine output, BP, oxygen levels etc).

So its possible that Drs 1, 2 and 3 were all perfectly correct.
Their differences may reflect alterations in the patients condition; new information from observations, the new information requires further tests . Avoiding doing the wrong thing, is just as important as working out what is the right thing.

In-patient daily care, observations and medication are all part of treating and managing the condition and looking after him.

I have struggled with getting different opinions from different cardiologists - one said a pacemaker was not appropriate, another was very clear that it was the best treatment. It is so unsettling.

I hope your husband will be on the mend soon/.
