Hi Tovah Give him a day or two. Right now his is comming off the anesthesia and has just underwent major surgery. By tomorrow you will most likely see a major improvement in your husband. Focus on the positive the results will come.

Glad to see your doing so well. I'm at 8 weeks and have the flu so I was a little down until I read your post.

I have been a smoker since I was 14. I was down to one or two cigarrettes a week prior to surgery. After surgery late dec I was great until the pain did go away at four weeks and depression set in. I started again two a day for a few days and than none. I argue with myself about this daily as it...

I have been on one of thes machines twice in my life. Once when I was 3 mths old and that was 46 years ago. I had a way difficult surgery and was luck to survive it. But I did. And I may not be a genius but i was never one ti have issue with complex equations or problem solving and have prided...

Larry Thank you for taking the time to post this. Yesterday was my seven week post op date as well as when I started cardiac rehab. I'm hoping to go back to wk part time next week after I see my cardio on mon. Of course my right side swelled up after rehab and today the nurses were like that...

Wow you did great. Good for you!

I'm six weeks post op and have had some of those exact thoughts. I am going for my cardiac rehab eval on Thursday and can't wait. As with what Mentu said my eval has four cardiology staff members and during rehab the hospital has you hooked to telementray and is staff by cardiac nurses who can...

Thank you all so much.

With my little set back of pneumonia and slight lung issue I have thought of what OTC medication can be used to treat the common cold or the flu? Since this came to me after the seeing the surgeon today I will ask my cardio next week. Now I'm on antibotics so it's not an issue but what about a...

Wow. I was looking at my typing and obviously was medicated when I wrote my response. Sorry for the typeos. I'm home now and on antibotics. Apparently I also have a small portion of my lung that they say looks a little like fingers that collapsed. My cardio said this does happen upon occasion...

I thank all of you very much for your support and encouraging me to call the surgeon. When I called him and told him about the breathing issues pain he told me to go to the ER which I did. I went to the hospital my cardio goes to since its way closer then Miami and after several hours of tests...

Thank you. I'll be calling my cardo on Monday.

By the time of these symptons i was past seeing my cardio and surgeon. My primary Wasent in on Friday so I saw his PA. She listened and said to call Monday if I Wasent better.

Bev I hope you don't mind me asking but how did you find out you had a partially collapsed lung? I'm am four weeks and two days post op and having issues of pain when i take deep breaths. It started yesterday on oth sides but today only on my right side. I was reading your post and was...

Very inspirational for those of us recovering. Thank you and have fun on those slopes.

I think you may be right. Today it only hurts on my right side when I breath in. And yes I have been doing more and more so I am hopeful if I rest again today tomorrow will be better. Will see. The funny thing is that when I saw my cardo and surgeon I was fine except the pain on my right side...

I meant my right breast when I was speaking of the incision and skin ulcer

The last three days I was in pain but was told my my surgeon that it was to be expected. Due to the fact that even though it was a Miniumally invasive (my cardiologist said only a surgeon could make four incisions and come up with Miniumally invasive) they still cut through extensive cartilage...

Congratulations on the anniversary and the weight loss. It is so inspiring to read about great accomplishments such as yours.

Daf, I to was born with major heart issues and underwent open heart surgery at three months of age to repair coarctation of the aorta amongst other issues. My mitrial valve was also an issue but not severe. Until this year. My cardiologist sent me to three others for second and third opinions...
