Poll Question: How long does it take after...
At about 6 weeks I was still having some minor discomfort and some people were telling me stories they had heard about someone playing tennis before that time. Sarcastcially I said I just wanted to go to the bathroom without any discomfort. I was did first 50 mile cycle ride after 7 months (23 miles was furthest prior to surgery) and first ever 100 miler 11 months after, with some tears last few miles. I do volunteer work now at local hospital for heart surgery and it is amazing how individual recovery can effect diferet individuals. I had 2, 67 year old women have CABG same day and when I visited 3 days post surgery it was hard to beleive they had been through the same operation. i remember telling an amazing 90 year old patient who was going home from hospital he seemed to be in better shape than myself at that time.
