Still recovering
YEP, ups and downs are not uncommon. I'm sure you will get a lot of responses. Sleeping in a recliner is often more comfortable for the first few weeks. Walking daily is helpful. Do as much as you can, but don't overdo it. Your body will let you know when to stop. With a good recovery, you should notice that every day you will be able to do just a little more than the day before. Many of us had minor setbacks, but overall, the trend is positive. A POSITIVE ATTITUDE goes a long way to speeding your recovery. There are a couple of good books on Heart Surgery with chapters on recovery. The Heart Book recently published by the Cleveland Clinic (#1 rated Heart Center) Coping With Heart Surgery and Bypassing Depression by J. Jude, et.al, previously published as The Heart Surgery Handbook. Check your public library and / or book stores. Best wishes for your continued improvement. 'AL'
