Well, look at you - how good you look. And sound. Congratulations, Joey and welcome to the good side of the mountain. You are recovering at an amazing speed. The restful side-sleeping will come before you know it.
 
Hi Joey-

GREAT news, great job. And you managed a mini-vacation at a seaside resort. Now that's something everybody should do!

Congratulations on having it all behind you.
 
Hey Joey,
Congratulations! Sounds like everything went very well for you and I am glad. Now just remember to take it easy for awhile and your recovery should go just as well.
Take Care

Dave

Way to go, Joey

Way to go, Joey

Always so good to hear about a great success. In case you haven't tripped over our post-surgery mantra - breathe breathe breathe walk walk walk nap nap nap. It's the magic combination.

Stay in touch.
 
Congratulations Joey!

Sea resort!!!!! Wow, wished I'd thought of that! What a great way to begin recuperation.

Way to go Joey!

I thought I was doing great - how did you wangle the sea resort?

Glad to hear you are down the other side!
 
Thank you

Thank you

Thank you all for such a warm welcome home. The resort had a full time doctor and some nursers. Food was great but it's nothing like being home. Experiencing very little pain, trying to walk as much as possible I have take Coumadin for three months
only .

Joey:) :) :) :) :)
 
Joey,

Welcome to the other side! Sea REsort? CooL! I'm impressed. We should all be able to recovery in such a surrounding! Good for you! Glad to hear you're doing so well! Remember the drill: NAp! Nap! NAP! Breathe! Breathe! Breathe and of course Walk! Walk! Walk! May you have a speedy recovery!
 
No big deal....

No big deal....

Hi Lorrain , It's no big deal in Israel to go to a 5 star Cardiac Recuperation Centre There are many along the coast line . They normally take up one or two floors of a hotel. Another advantage is that almost all the costs are payed by our various local health insurance companies. Every day you get lectures, gym, and dam good food .

Joey
 
Sounds like we need to do that here in the US. Maybe it would encourage the procrastinators to go ahead and have the surgery.

Karlynn
 
Welcome home, Joey! We definitely need to import the concept of sea-side recovery resorts. :D

Maybe our "over the mountain" analogy could be changed to "crossing the sea". . .
 
Hey, Joey, glad you're back and doing so well. Sounds like you have a better answer to the recovery room than we have here in the US.

Can I use my "dual citizenship" to take advantage of Israel's health care system?

Shalom Steve, if you have been a good boy and still pay your dues to "Kupat Cholim" yes you would be entitled to enjoy. However it is a long way to come for one week. Why not get Kupat Cholim to start up centres in the USA I am sure they will not be short of clients.

Regards Joey
 
Glad to hear you are doing so well! Man, I not only didn't get rehab but now I find out about these nice seaside recovery resorts. I did things all wrong!
Best wishes for a continued great recovery!!!
