Easier said than done, but try to get the most out of the rehab and you'll be back in no time. Best time for boating is late summer early fall, I'm sure you'll be ready.

What kind of rehab are you doing?

 

[Neverbowdown]

Trying! just started rehab just a couple complications right off! Like 3 kidney stones Trying to get rid of!

You've already proven the Doctors wrong on multiple occasions so why stop there?! When you're HOT your HOT, keep rollin'!!!!!

 

[HNL2LHC]

Good to see that things are moving forward albeit not as fast as you’d like. Keep yore head up and you will get this handled and on the water before you need it. You got this!!!!!

 

[River Runnin]

What kind of rehab are you doing?

Cardiac

 

[Kachina26]

Cardiac

What do they have you doing for it?

 

[mjc]

Cardiac

When the tubes came out and I pooped they sent me home, no rehab of any type. They just told me to walk every day until breast bone healed. Maybe because I hand mine done 4/2020 just when covid shit started they just wanted me out of there.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Don't know much about the cardiac overhaul, but Fuk kidney stones!
Well, maybe it'll get your mind off the other stuff

Keep it rolling, slow forward movement is better than no movement.

Same for me.
Walking. Even just to the front gate.
(Front gate is ~250 feet. Made it half way the first day home.)
And stairs. Nothing crazy, just up and down a flight of stairs.
Worked up to a quarter mile walk within a month.
Keep pushing yourself a little bit.
Hydration is key.
Get a routine for your heart/BP meds, too.
DON'T OVERDO IT.
Never give up.

Well it looks like I’ll be in rehab for a bit. Doing all they ask I’m still get very short of breath and on 2 liters O2. Mostly up days! But one of them others have been by!

Thanks for the update. Hope for continued improvement.

 

[monkeyswrench]

So if we mix in a little nitrous, would that help you do PT faster, or happier?

To reduce the possibility of a catastrophic damage shouldn’t we start with turbo or supercharger? Thinking about maybe we should start with a good old kick in the rear.

@River Runnin I hope that my posts are not offending. just trying to keep things lite

Sounds like they already started with the "extrude hone" process on the internals...
He already has one bottle, just adding one more

Godspeed River Runnin. My Dear Friend Sheryl, 62 who runs the Crabbycakes Kennel of Puppy Love is recovering too!
Got a Herd of 4 female Wild Thing Pomsky's in first heat over here. Gizmo is going crazy! "You gotta keep 'em separated!"
Hang in there Kind Sir. Breathe. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Relaxing River Dreams Ahoy

 

[River Runnin]

Thank you Amy & Joel for your thoughts and reminder to update for those that have been so supportive. June 2 I had the open heart, having a pretty rough go, I spent the better part of the month in ICU. I then spent the better part of July in inpatient rehabilitation. With such an Awesome view from the Condo Rehab you’d think I’d be all over getting up and out ASAP! — And I am! — but I hate to report me old body, isn’t cooperating to well! Still hanging in there though! — more appointments coming up soon!

 

[River Runnin]

 

[RiverDave]

We are back in town if you need anything.

Thanks Dave! — might have to take you up on that! I might change the carrier (hit by an idiot) with a power lift!

 

[rrrr]

Keep working your rehab, so far you're doing great. I'm pushing energy your way, hope it is doing some good.

 

[River Runnin]

was sure hoping by now I could report a positive update. I have In home therapy (likely extending) for a few more days. I’ve been to Dr. appointments several times since my last update. Talked to a few friends that have been through the same thing! — CABG -- it appears I’m one of those that have been through this surgery that could take upto a year to recover. Retaining too much fluid, and had a Med increase to work on it. Even with the work im doing, and therapy the fluid is really holding my progress back. Doing my daily exercises I still think positive! Thinking I should be further along, it not hard to go the other way at times! — But! Still plugging away!

I know every case is different, but when my 75year old BIL had open heart for an aortic aneurism and valve replacement, he started failing a few weeks later. After draining his lungs or chest cavity a few times, they installed drains and about 3 weeks later he was making a very good turn around. They removed the drains a few weeks later and now after about 5 months he's pretty much back to normal. I can't imagine how hard it must be, but hang in there, I wish you the best.

Well back on June 2nd I had a triple bypass. Friday sure coulda been a better day, well I guess it was, I was sprung from the hospital! On the 12th when the Dr. comes in and tells me what he found after the angiogram. I Guess I have a pretty strong heart muscle but 1 of the 3 graphs totally blocked up. Any attempt to repair and most likely I’d be knocking at the pearly gates! Takin it a day at a time of course! — still gonna work towards that boatin life again mates!

Thanks for the updates. I'm sending you energy and thoughts.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Being on parole beats being in lockdown. Continue doing what you're doing, and thinking positive.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Bob, any updates on your health? How are you feeling?

@River Runnin

Well Dan! & inmates…. Besides having to stay on O2 24/7 and starting rehab From scratc, they’re going to put a monitor in my heart (through groin) for checking pressures.I’m still very weak trigger A-fib with just about any act— standing up, walking, anything. The doctor’s and home rehab gals say I’m doing fine!
——- can’t say I’m real convinced! But I’m hanging in there a day at a time, and positive as I can!

 

[rrrr]

Keep fighting. My thoughts are with you.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Keep pluggin' away at it!

I have a buddy who has something like you're talking about, some type of telemetry doodad, looks like a clock radio, but is Bluetooth and updates him and the doctors. Some tech is pretty cool.

Hope you start to feeling better. Keep a good attitude!

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Thanks for the update, sounds like you’re in good hands with your doctor. Wishing you good health. You getting out on the water much?

 

[River Runnin]

You getting out on the water much? — Not at all! last year’s Enduro was the last time on boat.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

It would probably feel great to get out on the water...

 

[HNL2LHC]

good to have an update. it is crazy to hear how well they are able to monitor things for you.

 

[FreeBird236]

Thoughts and prayers to get completely back on your feet.

 

[RiverDave]

Hope you recover soon Bob..

Frustrating.

And yet, you're still above ground!

Hang in there mang. You got this.

 

[coolchange]

Updates? Hope there good ones!

 

[River Runnin]

I’d like nothing else but to report I'm doing much better. The setbacks sure hurt me. I’m still getting home rehab, and doing the best I can at it! still have to use O2 24/7 and unsure when I’ll be able to start cardiac rehab. I have to use my electric chair when going out with tank of O2, so still can’t drive. Next on my list is a portable O2 unit! (About 3K for the one I’m looking at) and I Will start driving!! They want me to walk 500 feet before having to rest! Did 275 today, I did one 500 just before my Setback blockage! Anyway thank y’all again for your positive thoughts and support!

 

[angiebaby]

Thanks for the check-in! Setbacks happen. What is the saying? Two steps forward, one step back?

Appreciate the check in, lots of us pulling for you. Keep posting even if just to say you had a tough day, or better yet, a great day.
