I had an appointment with my cardio this morning and had all my questions written down so I wouldn't forget anything. One little issue I have had since the swelling at the top of my scar went down is a sharp little point under my skin about an inch to the left of my scar. (left if you were facing me) It is quite sharp and a bit sore. If I pressed really hard there it would come through my skin. I was thinking it felt like wire and my cardio thought so too at first but after feeling around and pushing a bit (ouch) he found that it was a bit of bone from when my ribs were cut through. If it doesn't improve over the next few weeks I will have to go back to Michigan and have an incision made and get it taken care of somehow. Has anyone else ever had an issue like this? He thought it was because of the way the Kono procedure was done. Now that it has been pushed on it is really sore.
I got my perscription to start cardio rehab so I am excited about that. I didn't ask if I could drive but I did show up to the appointment alone so I assume I have his blessing. He said I was doing really well all things considered and told me to slow up a little bit. I get to go back to work with limitations on Sept. 1st so I am happy about that. My workmates are scared for me to come back and worry that something will happen to me. I keep trying to reassure them but I think they will adjust better when I am back working like before. Anyway, just wanted to share my appointment. Not happy about the protruding bone but what can I do? I feel better having seen my cardio and have a sense that everything will work out alright and I feel peaceful and confident. He has some kind of magic over his patients. My INR issue seems to be resolved and I have to get it checked again tomorrow along with my Digoxin levels. Thanks in advance for any opinons on my bone issue.
