Diagnosis is a start. Or in my dad's case, lucky that he decided to tell someone about his discomfort that lead him to the hospital.
The major surgery is a mere trifle compared to the long lead time for recovery. Driving is not allowed for the next two months. Healing of the chest bone will take approximately 6-9 months. In the meantime he will have to do some light exercise including one to strengthen his lungs.

Sucking in the air through the tube is much harder than blowing.
We were all relieved that he was allowed to be discharged yesterday afternoon. Definitely more comfortable resting at home, this proved by him snoring through yesterday's late evening rain and thunder storm!
More importantly I hope my mum who has been with him at the hospital for the past 12 days gets a good night sleep and rest. Nothing beats the comfort and familiarity of home ya?
As soon as I get my act together, I will post some Chinese herbal soup recipes that will aid in his recovery and total well-being.
Once again, thanks to all for your concern and well wishes.
