Reply #16: My husband had it a week ago last Thursday

[HockeyMom]

He was up and walking the next day. He left the hospital that Saturday. He walks around the house on his own. He drove to the store on Friday and is right now driving to get the paper. He is going back to work on Monday. He told the doctor he cannot afford to sit at home and not get paid for three weeks. He doesn't have disability for this (elective surgery not covered) and has to take sick/vacation days. He had home care and therapy for the week he was home, but once he goes back to work, that stops. If he wants/needs it, he will have to drive to them and pay the entire cost out of pocket.

He says he is still in a lot of pain, and is in a very bad mood most of the time. Honestly, he had major surgery 3 years ago, and he seemed to recover much better after that painwise). He is 62.
