Frank was good today. The medical team have been able to get him up and out of bed for the first time since Sunday 17th May. He was out of bed for nearly an hour and in that time was able to sit on a chair, stand up and move his toes and feet around. They’re going to let him loose walking around the ward tomorrow!
The operation is still planned for Monday 1st June. The British Embassy were on hand today and went through the consent form with Frank and the doctors. It turns out they are going to be using a relatively new technique to perform the bypass where they don’t stop the heart. This is called ‘Beating-Heart Surgery’ which (all being well) should reduce the risk of complications arising during the procedure.
The consent form has now been signed by Frank and the medical team so from now until Monday it will be full steam ahead to prepare him for the operation.
