It's now over 48 hours since dad had his heart surgery and he didn't seem quite as good today as he was yesterday. He was out of bed and sitting in a chair - he couldn't do that yesterday - but he just didn't seem to be so bright. It turned out he'd been given some high potassium medication that had upset his stomach and he was feeling pretty nauseous. He decided he wanted to go for a walk so Sheila took him out to the lobby, but when they got back he was not looking too good, and was ill. We were all told to go outside while the nurses sorted dad out. I think it must have shaken him up quite a bit as, although he said he felt much better, when we got back in he was quite quiet for a while.
When we left he seemed OK and was ready to settle down for the evening. They're planning to change his medication so hopefully he'll be OK in the morning and will be ready to carry on with his physio.
