After a discussion with the doctor, the nutritionist, the cardiac after-care person and I don't know who all, lol, Tom got to come home.
Everything looks pretty good. The nutritionist was impressed with how many changes dh had already made in his diet by eating much the same way I've been eating (yay me!), but does have to cut out salt and should quit using any kind of stick margarine. Right now he only uses it on popcorn, but she said even that is more than he should do. She said either a spray or a tub margarine I do use now could be used (and that brand of tub margarine would melt okay she said), and I should buy low sodium stuff when possible. And to used seasoned salt (which often has no salt) instead of salt. I don't think I'll have much trouble with those rules, I've never been much of a salt user, but it'll be a big adjustment for Tom - he's a real salt addict. He's willing to try, though, so that's all I can ask.
And! Amazingly, the doctor says he can go back to work tomorrow and sees no problem with us going to Alabama for a week this weekend! Since we already have reservations made for Sat. night and have our sitter ready for next week, we'll take the doc at his word and go!
