Post Surgery Update

Sorry that this is a couple of days later than I wanted.
Mom is doing really well.  She came home from the hospital on Thursday evening.  We meet with her cardiologist later this week.  The doctor at the hospital indicated that the abnormal heart rhythm was caused by the surgery.  Apparently this is somewhat common.  Her heart rhythm returned to normal late on Wednesday evening.  She has been feeling a lot better ever since. 
She is definitely sleeping better in her own bed.  The pain level has been pretty tolerable for the last couple of days.  She has already started some arm excercises at home.  Her range of motion at this point is a lot better than I expected.  She needs to obviously build up some strength, but that should come over time.  The left side (the one with the cancer) is not as strong as the right, but we sort of expected that.  The radiation on that side might make the recovery a bit longer. 
The drainage tubes will be in for some time.  They told us that she could have them for a couple of weeks.  So, we just wait and see what happens.
Dads been a pretty good nurse so far.  Moms not complaining about the level of care.  In fact, I even heard her compliment him.
Thanks to all of you for caring so much.
