Update on Bob

 Rainbow Went to see the surgeon this week who gave Bob a clean bill of health.  He said he just had to look at him to see that he was so much better since the heart surgery.  He was told he could return to work at anytime, but I jumped in to tell the surgeon that he had a 2 hour commute on the train at both ends of the day, and had to carry a heavy rucksack fill of computer, files etc.  To which the surgeon said he has to stay of till November, he is entitled to 12 weeks sick leave and the surgeon told him to make the most of it.

I have my specialist appointment the week after next, so it is looking like I will get my surgery just after he goes back to work, so who is going to look after me.

I love your little tags.  They are so cheery!

Wonderful news about Bob and you were right to jump in there and save him from going back to work too soon.  Men think they are invincible!
Shame you are worrying about who is going to look after you when you go in to hospital.
But of course Bob may not be allowed anymore leave..will he?
That's a quandary and  a worry too.
I hope you are able to solve it as it draws nearer.
Gosh he commutes for two hours each way to work?  That's some journey! What a shame you don't live nearer to work.  At least he would be home sooner to you when you are feeling like being looked after.

How wonderful Bob has a clean bill of health.  I cannot imagine having such a long and tiresome commute.  I think you were right to tell the surgeon.  I hope you are able to find someone to help you along after your surgery.

Glad to hear that Bob has a clean bill of health.  I wish that I lived closer as I would help you after your surgery if I could!  Hope you have a lovely Sunday,

12 weeks off!  Holy Smoke!  I'm living in the wrong country!  
My dad had open heart surgery back in the 80's (triple bypass) and even though he ended up dying last December of his 8th stroke, the doctor said he had the heart of a 20 year old.  Good for you in putting in your two cents and seeing to it that Bob takes the time he needs to heal properly.  Then, he'll be good as new!
PS: Thank you for reading my blog!

That's great that Bob has a clean bill of health now! I'm glad you spoke up, it's much better that he takes off as much time as he needs before returning to work. Good luck with your appointment, I hope you can work out a way of being looked after when you've had your surgery. Have a good weekend! Jeannette xx
