Caravanning after heart surgery

I towed a caravan down to a site about 50 miles away for a retired work colleague to put it in storage for him. As he improved his wife would drive him down and the site would put on pitch before their arrival. 

I did say to contact me if/when he wanted it towed elsewhere or home. We were not friends a such but he did phone me a few times and the following year he did say that he was still storing there but had towed off to other sites himself. 

Rabbit house, Good wishes to you both. Get well, be strong, take the cardiac rehabilitation program. Re assess your situation next Spring.

My own experience is simple - not to build your whole leisure life style around Caravanning, because if it goes - and one day it will - you will need other interests. There is a world beyond caravan sites. 

I hope things go well for you both. 

I realise the initial OP is from 2015, and the subsequent 2 appear to be from the same poster, but I do believe there may be others in the same situation now, ie coming up to having heart surgery, so any advice will be welcome I'd have thought.  I know it was to us at the time. So: my OH had a single bypass 14 years ago now.  Agree with what ttda said upthread, post surgery there was, even then, quite a lot of support, with various meetings, where both OH and myself were encouraged to attend.

I'd also say, go to the gym when it's offered.  My OH did, and really enjoyed that part of the rehab actually.

Three months post surgery we went to France for 6 weeks; but had a MH at that time, so a bit different to a caravan of course.  But in that respect I'd endorse advice by others in this thread.

It’s been constructive for me, as I didn’t realise it was an old post.😁

hi as we have a very large dog whom we do not want to keep chained to the ground then yes we do need to erect an awning which i do help with,but my other half is a stubborn so and so lol we also have motor movers all the time on the several vans we have owned and he refuses point blank to use them :( although to be fair hes excellent at reversing a large twin axle as hes always towed large trailers etc, i do worry about him and i understand where hes coming from as he loves caravanning,it wouldnt be a great loss to me as i only went along with his love of it when i met him....but hes not what i would call a now 68 year old and hes now getting tests for his heart again,we still have a caravan which is really his and he refuses point blank to give it up even with his health problems,ps funny thing is this newer caravan we have just bought was sold to us by a person who is giving it up because of his heart health lol
