Default OT Brother update from Shirley

Thanks for your prayers for him.
He is 74 in June but alas the walking is not on the cards for him at the
moment. He also has to have two knee replacements because he is crippled
with arthritis. So when he gets over this he will be in hospital again.
It is a problem at the moment that after this operation he cannot use
his arms. It is something they do not allow after a bypass until all is
healed. It was like that for me when I had mine. Thing is he needs to
use them to get out of chairs and get upstairs so some adaptations have
to made at his home before he can come home. They do loan furniture
like chairs that rise up and beds for the few weeks that they need them
from the Social Services.
Hugs
Shirley

Oh, Shirley! I just read your posts about your brother! I'm so happy that
he's out of intensive care after his bypass. ))))) Big prayers going
his way across the waves for his quick recovery!

BTW, how old is he? My father had a triple bypass when he was 64 and once
he followed the special diet and did all the walking that the docs
recommend, he recovered very fast, lost a lot of weight and had a lot of
energy. Here's more prayers that the same happens for your beloved
brother. )))))))

hugs,
Linda
