    6 wks post - still hard to get a deep breath - is that normal

    Thanks to everyone who answered! I am doing the treadmill daily and I have started using my spriometer again. I am improving even since my last post. Thanks again.

    6 wks post - still hard to get a deep breath - is that normal

    I had mitral valve repair 6 weeks ago and although it's getting a bit easier, I still have a hard time getting a real deep breath or a true yawn. Sometimes I have to try several times before I can get that deeper breath that is satisfactory. Anyone else go through this and when did it subside...

    Fine strand of wire protruding from sternum incision

    I had two wires that they said went to my heart. After they took out the tubes, they took the tape off the wired, pushed in the skin and snipped them off.......left them inside me. Anyone ever hear of this?
