Bob feels better this morning. He walked further than he did yesterday. He ate without indigestion. His heart is back in sinus rhythm (normal rhythm). However, his chest tube drainage continues and his overall recovery is taking longer than is usual.

Mom and I met with the social worker today. After Bob is discharged from the hospital he will need to go to cardiac rehab 24 times for about an hour a day. I do not anticipate that he will be discharged for at least 10-14 days. The timing for the cardiac rehab is from 8:45 to 11:00 am daily Monday to Friday (possibly Saturday). He must arrive no later than 10:00 am on those days. If anyone is interested in helping them drive to these appointments let them know. Mom cannot drive and Bob will not be allowed to drive for about 8 weeks.
