Just went through most of what you describe with my husband. He had triple bypass done in February. He solved the clothing on the wound issues by wearing no shirt. And he slept sitting up for 8 weeks. Said he couldn’t breath laying down. He only 3 incisions on the leg. That surprised me.
I am the SALT NAZI now!!
I am just so glad you took the time to describe those things your husband went through after his triple bypass.
At times, as in most things, when you’re going through something like this you think you are the only one.
I thought the notion of a piece of cloth draped across a post-surgical wound as akin to a manhole cover resting happily upon my chest to be a stretch.
So glad to know I am not nuts.
