[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 456599, member: 84"] husband has finally been weaned off the oxygen. He'll get to move out of the cardiac ICU this afternoon and into a room on the cardiac care unit. :) He sounded like himself again when I spoke to him this morning. That made me feel much better. I still am not sure he gets the they can't fix him part, but we'll discuss that when he comes home. He comes from a very long line of very stubborn men, if he feels like he's just going to die anyway, I can so see him saying wth and not doing anything to change his lifestyle. If he does the diet, the exercise, the medications and doesn't smoke, he might be able to buy himself extra time as well as have his quality of life improve. If he doesn't, it won't be long before the next one hits and he won't survive that one. I'm hoping this has scared the holy crud out of him. I updated sister in law.......and oddly he and his bro are so alike with their heart attacks it's a tad eerie......except that his bro was 12 yrs younger and didn't have the congestive heart failure and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) issues and could get the bypass surgery. But sister in law said that she was sure his bro would talk to him if husband wants to talk about this with him. It might help talking with someone who has been through it, might help him have realistic views on recovery ect. Though these two bros have such an enormous canyon between them, which no one to this day knows the cause (heck they've probably forgotten themselves) ....maybe this will bring them a little bit closer. They're all each other have. I'm doing better today. Dealt with a lot of feelings and the facts to go with them. The "lost" sensation is pretty much gone, which is good. Guess I just needed some time to absorb it all. You guys have been so great. I thank you so much. You've no idea how much your support means to me. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
