hi everyone,
i have been so depressed during this whole situation, i know i needed drugs antidepressents but didnt get them. it is hard for a parent to deal with. anyway adam is 10 weeks out of surgery and we just had a cardio appt. last thursday. well i cried tears of joy for a change, and i know it isnt going to sound like a whole lot but the ef went up to a 40/45 now and i just burst into tears, which i can do at any moment anymore, but they were tears of joy, because i was hoping for at least that. we have been on edge for so long and i know it could be better, it is at least coming and i am happier than
i have been in a while. i know i have asked some pretty weird questions, but someone like me just getting through this emotionally is really something in itself. it is an improvement and it is wonderful. so the dr. told him last week that he could do what he wanted to do. so he started to golf this week and
i dont know about that it seems kind of much. but he says if it hurts
than he will quit, and wont push it so what do you guys think, he starts the rehab probibly next week. thanks.

I'm sorry but I don't know how long he has post op.... I play golf and if the doctor said anything he feels like then he should be ok....he will know if he is over doing.... I went to the driving range 3 weeks post op...not too smart but I wanted to test the waters...little by little I was able to add more power to my swing.....beleive me...he will know if it is to soon!

I was told I should be able to golf in 8 - 12 weeks so at 10 he sounds about right. As long as he listens to his body, and paces himself properly, he should be ok.

Golf?

Golf?

Golf at ten weeks post-op should be no big deal. I started hitting balls at six weeks post-op and was playing regularly at ten. Soreness will likely accompany this return to physical activity, but that's not unsual either; returning to any kind of physical activity results in soreness.

As noted in a previous post, it's important to pay attention to what one's body says it can do and not push beyond the envelope by overdoing too much.

My perspective is that seeing someone want to engage in activities he/she enjoys following OHS is that this is a good thing. It's an indication that recovery and rehab are going well.
