after bbypass surgery
by Omar1020, Jul 12, 2008 06:40PM
My father had been smoking for forty years and recently got chest pain and E.R said it was a heart-attack and after stent analysis Cardiologist determined that he needed 4 bypass surgery, My dad did it and he is in the hospital as we speak, they moved him from CVICU a day after saying everything seems normal and all test results are fine, he had burning sensation in his urine and it sounds like his kidneys shutdown for bit, the said his stomach is bloated but he has bowl movement and now they saying he had a trace of pneumonia, he doesn't drink the liquids (loss of apatite), sleeps a lot (wheezing N snoring), He gets real tired fast doing the breathing excerise and he walks a short distance before getting tired and scared wants to go back to the room with oxygen on. I'm confused and helpless and uneducated with any of this, doctors and nurses wont answer my questions and wont tell me the truth, they keep saying he doing great, tests results are good and total B.S sounds to me then why he is on restricted liquid eating and why he is in pain a lot. What do I do?
