17. NO excuse for him being in pain!!!!

Demand pain meds from the Dr.! Today!


When asked what the pain level is, in order to get the med, the correct answer is 8!!!!

People heal better when they're not in pain! Take it from a 30-yr nurse!

Hugs to you

40. That was fast! Thank for the update 😃

[IbogaProject]

38. Take it slow but not too slow

And maybe 500 mg of ester-c (250 twice a day with meals) to help the blood vessels heal. This will be a delicate time as all those repairs will have to heal fully, same with any stents. Best wishes for a maximum recovery.
