Going home after congestive heart failure?!
Question: Going home after congestive heart failure!?
I came home from the hospital yesterday after being hospitalized 6 days with congestive heart failure!. Fortunately I was in a very good hospital and received excellent care and info while in the hospital!. My doctor has told me to take off the rest of this week to rest at home!. How soon does someone usually go back to work after coming home after the hospital!? I don't want to push myself too soon, but I don't want to be sedentary and just sit around home!. I know I have to avoid stress - not always easy!. My 21 yr!. old daughter put herself in charge while I was in the hospital, my 17 yr old son kept to his schedule of school or being with his dad!. My daughter does not make very good choices and now that I am home I feel that I have to jump right in and go back to taking care of everything along with getting back to work soon!. I really don't want to end up back in the hospital, but I worry that I will!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
