Going Home!

John will be released from the hospital
within the next hour!

He's basically unhooked from everything,
eating dinner,
getting dressed,
then we're out of here!

He's being sent home with
a lot of instructions.
Do's & Dont's,
meds and restrictions.

He can't lift anything over 5 pounds
for a month.
And then nothing over 10 pounds
for two more months!
His sternum (where they opened his chest)
will take about 6-8 weeks to heal.
(Just like any broken bone).
No lifting his hands over his head.

He has an awesome new full-sized
bed to look forward to.
And lots of down time!
