My husband age 75 recently had a quadruple bypass (10 days ago) and as the caregiver I need as much
help as possible. At this point in time is it okay for him to take short trips to the store, post
office, library etc. (Of course I would do the driving this I understand) He seems to be tired much
of the time, but I think that getting out a little would be good for him. Of course I do not want to
push too hard, but on the other hand I do not want to sit back and do nothing to help in his
recovery. Unfortunately there is much info for recovering patients but very little info on the role
of the caregiver (and believe me we need info.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Ina Levitt
