I usually have a fantastic appetite...as you can tell from my weight chart, but when ever I have surgery I simply cannot eat. My family always eats all my hospital meals. Sounds like he is progressing well, and that you are doing a fine job too. It's always so hard for the spouse (YOU). Hope he is home soon, Hugs, KathleenKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805905403535867038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-33148254786521230212010-01-08T16:38:15.371-05:002010-01-08T16:38:15.371-05:00It must be tough - possibly worse for you than for...It must be tough - possibly worse for you than for him!

Pain meds can take away appetite in cats so I extrapolate that to humans too...<br /><br />Rest and think Florence Nightengale...Teri and her Stylish Adventure Cats https://www.blogger.com/profile/00995773243323674858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-76459831284164689972010-01-08T10:36:05.364-05:002010-01-08T10:36:05.364-05:00OH yes, the second day - hopefully they'll fin...OH yes, the second day - hopefully they'll find a pain pill that helps rather than hinders. Don was done taking pain pills by the time he came home - it was completely amazing. The surgeon said that older people feel less pain in heart surgeries than younger - go figure.<br /><br />The lack of appetite is very usual for heart patients - not sure why that is - so try to get him as much protein as possible when he will eat - Don's appetite didn't improve for quite some time, but it does come back to normal.<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend - I know the exhaustion feeling.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-73745178543062991742010-01-08T10:11:26.971-05:002010-01-08T10:11:26.971-05:00Hi...He'll just keep getting better from now o...Hi...He'll just keep getting better from now on.
