Jessie, I'm and experienced O H patient and a M H visitor-14 year.. No medical comments but actual on the job training. MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC.
I have found that it reduces stress and puts your thinking in a much better place. Subject to her condition in the ICU but once in step down ,
plug her in any way she feels comfortable. I had a CABG X 4, WAY BACK (1996) at 58 and a second 8 years later
.
What ever she likes that puts a smile on her face.
NOW the medical people have actually stated--"MUSIC reduces stress and helps the body heal".
It blocks out the beeping hospital sounds that made me nuts.
She will enjoy those moments and her head will leave the hospital..
Best of luck,
David Rosen

Subject: AAA open repair recovery - how can I help my mom?
My 77 year old mother has an aortic aneurysm that has grown enough to need open repair surgery, and I'll be caring for her when she gets out of the hospital. I know that recovery looks pretty different depending on a ton of factors, but does anyone here have general advice from firsthand experience about what to expect and how I can help?
I'm trying to get in touch with her doctors, and I'm reading everything I can find online, of course. I'm hoping that some folks who have gone through it might have advice that I'm missing from these pamphlets and web pages.
