#CardiacCousins 💗 Although they both live in Orland Park, cousins Bob Callahan and Neil Coleman said they’d see each other only at family events, not like when they were younger and sometimes vacationed together. But since July, they have seen each other three times a week during cardiac rehabilitation therapy at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, as each recover from lifesaving heart surgeries in May. “Neil asked if it was possible to be scheduled at the same times,” said Kim Mason, Clinical Director of Cardiac Rehab at Silver Cross. “So, we arranged that.” Bob and Neil not only have been model patients, but models for the other patients attending rehab there. They talk to new patients about what to expect and show them around to make them more comfortable. In fact, they already are forming a group to go out for breakfast or lunch once a month to keep in touch: “ROMEO. Real Old Men Eating Out.” Read about Neil and Bob’s story here: https://bit.ly/40ejKFS 💜 💚
