Joy, that turns out to be a very good point. We might not get to go, which will be very upsetting to my son. So far his school is still planned to start up again on Feb 22, and he has several major tests, etc that week. There is a minimum of 5 days quarantine for anyone who’s been in a high-risk area, which is how the US is, so it isn’t worth it to go. I haven’t broken it to him yet. I hope your son is doing well. With its aging population, I expected Japan to have a good system of in-home care; do they?

Canada just posted some severe travel restrictions, including post travel Covid testing and quarantine (at traveller’s expense). I understand that you are planning on travelling to the US, but plan for extra time and $, and the possibility of getting stuck somewhere you might not want to be. Plus, there is the risk of exposure to the virus...

Carla, check out my post just before yours about Canada

FashIntern, he found out that they do some things differently. For example he was not given a general anesthesia for the surgery and watched it. PT has been mostly massage to help with leg and foot swelling and being given crutches and some tips on going up steps on them, but not down. They are too much for his little apartment so using them is difficult.
I am glad that your dad is doing well. DH has the groin to heart method after a cardiac arrest about 20 years ago. They put in some stents.

Late to the thread, but glad to hear your dad is out of surgery and on the road to recovery. Sorry to hear you won't get to visit in person; hopefully you can connect over video at least.

Thanks Nemosmom! His recovery will take a while, so I still appreciate the support!

Joy, I’ve heard of people watching their own big surgeries. I’d be fascinated, and glad to enjoy the general anesthesia, but I guess some people are squeamish. By now I bet he’s using the crutches easily. It sounds like his apartment is much bigger than I picture a single guy in Japan living in. I hope he is doing well!
