How to Prepare and Recover from Medical Treatment

Hi, my name is Zoe. I didn't have a clue about medical matters until my husband became unwell. He had been complaining of chest pain for quite a while. I thought it was indigestion until one day just after he had finished his breakfast he collapsed to the ground. I called an ambulance and he was rushed to the hospital. The doctors stabilised him and recommended that he had a surgery on his heart. The doctor was very good and explained exactly what he would need to do and how I could help my husband prepare for the operation. The operation was a success and I spent a couple of months helping my husband to recover. He is now back to full health. I wanted to start this blog to pass on what I have learnt from this experience to others.
