Not to put too fine a point on it...but sorry for being late, but thanks to everyone for all the wonderful birthday wishes!!!
All of the good vibes totally help! Slowly getting better, chest still really hurts, but doing more each day, and I go to my orientation for cardiac rehab tomorrow.
And thanks to Chris and Claire for the night light. Made out of New Orleans Mardi Gras beads. Love to all! ♥ ♥
7 weeks post surgery - feeling better, chest still aches a whole lot - it's amazing how nice life is without gasping for breaths all the time.
Much lower energy and some erratic beats this week but going next Tues for stress test to begin cardiac rehab.
Horrible insomnia but seems it's a common side effect, who needs sleep anyway? :)
6 weeks out from surgery - feel ok, my chest area still hurts A LOT, like all the time.
They cut a lot higher and lower than before, and here's an awesome description from the report.
"We were able to peel the aorta and the right ventricular outflow tract off the sternum without getting into trouble." - have cardiac rehab set up for beginning of May, hanging in there! :)
