Today is 2 weeks post op & Jerry had his family doctor's visit today. He has lost 19 pounds since surgery!!! He is happy about losing weight but we don't like how he has lost it. He doesn't have an appetite & he in sensitive to certain foods. He only eats about 1/4 to 1/2 of a normal meal. We are going to try a diet plan called Eat Clean...we have used it before & the food is very tasty but also very healthy with minimal fat, salt, etc.. We are hoping this will restore some of the nutrients that he is losing. Jerry is out for his first walk alone...I'm not too happy about that but he wants to start doing more on his own. He wants to get back to work & is frustrated that he can't drive. He informed me this morning that he plans to start driving next week...but the doctor & I say no way!! I guess I'll let you all know who wins that battle. lol All in all...he is doing remarkable and we are excited about the progress that we see so far. Hope everyone has a fantastic week...God bless you all :))
Much love.... The Garlands
As most now know, I am facing open heart surgery on August 6th to replace my aortic valve. Although I have known for 4 years that this day would eventually come, the day seems to be approaching at a rapid pace. To support the inquiries of so many great friends and family members I have created this blog with the purpose of providing an update on my surgery and recovery. Comments are encouraged!
