Q:

What will happen in hospital after my coronary artery bypass surgery?

A:

Following your surgery you will stay in hospital for several days while you begin to recover. You may be a bit confused in the day or two following the surgery, which is common in elderly patients. You will be woken up a lot around the clock to have your vital signs checked or to give you medication. Over the following days, you will have the lines and tubes that were placed during surgery removed, and you will be taught the steps you need to follow to support your home care once you are discharged.

Q:

When can you participate in postnatal yoga?

A:

You are usually ok to start a mom-and-baby yoga class once you've been approved by your doctor to start a physical regime.
Usually this is going start four weeks post delivery if you've had a vaginal birth, six weeks for caesarean, and anytime up to pre-crawlers. Usually once the babies start crawling they're a bit too hard to contain.

Q:

What is polypharmacy?

A:

Polypharmacy can simply be broken down to mean 'many medications'. It is common in the elderly to have multiple medications being prescribed to treat one condition, or several conditions, and it is important for the patient and their doctor to be aware of any possible interactions between these drugs.
