BOB 2 WEEK FOLLOW-UP

Currently in Belton MO (Low 30 Partly Sunny High 55)

Almost immediately after being discharged from the hospital Bob was setup with Home Healthcare visits. There were a lot of different visits for Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Nurses. All of that was similar to what Bob experienced in 2012. An additional feature for Home Healthcare was a Telehealth visit where Bob got bluetooth scale, blood pressure and Pulse oximeter devices for daily monitoring automatically reported.

Bob was working on improving his stamina after his departure from the hospital and it's slow going. Two weeks after his departure from the hospital Bob had a follow-up appointment at the Mid-America Heart Institute.

Bob had a really good visit. It was the first time he was outside since he was brought home form the hospital. We were a little worried that since it was a long walk how Bob would handle it. Bob did remarkably well. Once in the office all the vitals  taken were really good. The best advice Bob has gotten throughout was from the Nurse Practitioner who said to try and measure progress weekly, not daily.

Progress is being made and the Home Healthcare visits are coming to an end and Cardiac Rehab is beginning the end of the month. 

Till next time,

Bob and Jo
