Dad is home-yay!

Wonderful news!! Glad to hear he is eating, even though it may taste funny...calories are important to regain any weight he lost. Ginger is right walking and resting are also key in the recovery. Prayers for his full recovery. Margot and Harry

Chriss,
Yeah I bet he is glad to be home,,,great news,,get those drinks in him to keep things clear, get him to walk and rest, walk and rest. It may get boring plan some movies or whatever he enjoys as the days get repetitive as far as function goes...any problems let us know, path report yet?? I am proud of his riding 2.5 hours, we rode 40 minutes and my husband was annoyed with the whole deal...
But glad to pull in our driveway as well!!!!! Ginger

OH how well i remember that taste...kind of metallic??...I'm not sure if it was the pain meds which i suspect...but once i got home and opiate free the taste buds returned to normal. About the only thing that tasted good to me was Starbucks Mocha and hot fudge sundaes....That sort of masked the taste....and it will add calories which i really needed.
Hooray on Dad being home....Pat

Hi all. Today is day 8 after r/c and my dad(age 83) was released this morning. He was so glad to get out of the hospital.It was a 2.5hr ride home and I thought he did well. He is eating little meals ok but I wish he would drink more to keep the fluids going-this I think will be a little bit of a battle. Also he says that everything tastes funny to him. Can anyone tell me how long that will last?
Chris
