I believe an alternative to cutting down on salt is to increase ones pure water consumption. What is important is the ratio of the two, if you drink plenty of water excess salt is easily flushed from the body.

He could care less about trying to do HIS PART to protect his health. If your husband shares your desire for good health, then that will certainly be a huge blessing on his behalf !!!

Hi Jan. Thanks in advance for the prayers -- it's appreciated. And thanks also for the encouraging words -- your Dad was only in the hospital for 4 days? Wow -- that's amazing. I hope my husband does as well. Thanks for your post -- it's given me a bright ray of hope.

    MaryAnn, my Dad (84) had his aortic replaced, and a tumor removed
    from the mytral valve ... back in the spring, in Atlanta.  The
    whole procedure went as smoothly as could be. He was in the
    hospital for 4 days, and now his heart is stronger than ever ...
    .  Will say some prayers for your hubby  :)

    My husband is at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio right now. He will have
    open-heart surgery on Tuesday (aortic valve replacement and cardiac
    myeomectomy). I'll be driving there on Monday to be there for the
    surgery, and
    will remain in Cleveland while he's in the hospital. Of course,
    I'm worried
    about the surgery itself, but I'm more worried about the
    opportunities for
    infections while he's there. So I'm taking a gallon of CS -- is
    that enough?
    I'd also like to take some CS gel (courtesy of Ode's kit). I don't
    know how the
    hospital staff would feel about an unknown gel product on the
    incision itself,
    so I may not get that done until we're out of there. Any advice
    from anyone
    will be greatly appreciated.
