Despite Sam playing musical chairs between the couch, recliner, and bed last night he got more rest at home than the hospital (and I think so did I).
We had a good laugh this morning watching Ellen ...Robin Williams was on and he has a cow valve as well...this episode could not be more fitting...he talked about his heart surgery...Sam laughed (holding the heart pillow) as laughing causes great pain. Since it was a such a good clip we wanted to share it with you...see below.
We are still adjusting to being home and don't have a routine just yet. He has been keeping up with his spirometer, exercises, pharmacy, walking and even went for a walk outside with Fred today. The weather today was a high of 35 degrees....the cold air was a bit much for him and he napped afterwards. That was the first time he has walked outside of the hospital and in something other than his hot hospital gown :)
The visiting nurse came by today around 3pm and checked Sam's coumadin level, looked at his incision and changed his bandage from where his chest tubes were. She will be back on Monday to check his bloodwork and will remove his sutchers next Friday.
Pretty chillaxed day today...lots of naps and just adjusting and trying to keep him comfortable.
