Granny's gone and done it again

My husband was sent home with that apparatus. Open heart surgery. They cut him open all the way down the front, practically. Took his heart out. Put him on a machine that pumped his blood. Worked on his heart. Mitral Valve. He was lucky he had enough skin to work with otherwise he would have had pig skin to repair it. Put his heart back in. Had to hold a pillow tight while he breathed into that thing. I had one sent home with me too once. I've had so many surgeries I don't remember which one.
The device is called an incentive spirometer. It measures how well you inhale air and helps you breath deeply. The more you do it the better your lungs expand and the less likely you are to get pneumonia. Any one who is in bed for an extended period of time needs to use it.

How about videos? Did some quick ones yesterday when we first got parked - will do an updated one once we get all settled in. Control board on the aqua hot is hurtin though - so no hot water. Boo. New board should be here before Wednesday. Whee brisk showers.

Oh heck. It embedded the photos in the quote. Sigh. Kira content

thats awful Cynthia. The things the human body goes thru.
 
That's really pretty. I like those colors. What are you putting in it, Granny?

Cap, I love that one you made. Is that a jade plant in it?
IDK the plant. Maybe something like a burgundy angel wing Hardy little sucker.
