Help my father recover from his stroke (read all 82 entries…)
Dad's in hospital again 5 months ago

At least this time it’s planned.

He had heart surgery yesterday to replace a faulty replacement heart valve and my mum and brother saw him in intensive care last night. He was in surgery nearly 8 hours and mum would have been in a much worse state if the waiting room didn’t have a TV and Wimbledon tennis to distract her somewhat!

Just hope that he recovers as well as he did last time (November 07) when the heart valve was put in. Can’t believe that it failed as it came from a faulty batch. It’s bad enough to go through this once but twice is unnecessary. I also feel for all those who have also needed their faulty heart valve replacing.

This is not fair – but when has life ever been fair?

Thinking of you and your Dad and hoping with you that he recovers well.

Not fair at all – after one operation of such importance and to recover so well the first time!

Thank you - you're right it's not fair

He recovered so well last time but this time it’s a bigger operation and he’s in pain despite the morphine and is expected to be in intensive care longer. He’s strong and stubborn so he should do well.
