This review is from: The Open Heart Companion: Preparation and Guidance for Open-Heart Surgery Recovery (Paperback)
I bought this book for my Mom who is the caregiver for my Dad who had open heart surgery 8 weeks ago. She has stated to me that the book has been helpful to her. It has given her perspective and guidance. I was hoping that it would help with the complications he was having, but apparantly they have turned out to be unrelated to the surgery. All in all I would say that this a good book for anyone having heart surgery, or caring for someone having heart surgery. I did not find it until almost 4 weeks after his surgery. I would suggest to others to buy it BEFORE the surgery if at all possible.

This review is from: The Open Heart Companion: Preparation and Guidance for Open-Heart Surgery Recovery (Paperback)
This book was one of the best books I've read on open-heart surgery and the things you need to think about when preparing for surgery.
We bought this book after my husband's first open-heart surgery. Two years later he had a second operation to replace his valve and reading this book helped us prepare ourselves for the second surgery. This book also talks about rehab and what to expect. I highly recommend this book.

A True Companion For The Journey,
By
This review is from: The Open Heart Companion: Preparation and Guidance for Open-Heart Surgery Recovery (Paperback)
Reaching people with health information and doing it well is a real art, and in The Open Heart Companion, Maggie Lichtenberg shows great skill as both writer and health and wellness coach. More than a book of things to know, it really becomes a true companion, much like a coach would be to you, a real ally. The Open Heart Companion, honors both the patient's need for the "story" of real experience, and the need for concrete information for both preparation and recovery from surgery.
Like the author, I am a valve surgery survivor/thriver, and like the author I am a wellness coach as well. I found great personal value in the book and continuously recommend it to all the coaching students I train, and all the medical institutions and organizations I consult with. Michael Arloski, Ph.D., PCC, author of Wellness Coaching For Lasting Lifestyle Change
