Well for the benefit of those waiting on the other side I'd thought I'd post weekly post op updates for a while. I continue to see some daily improvement in my activity level. My wife and kids can really see some change in dad. The weather has been a bit more favorable for walking. Yesterday I walked around the block 5 times. A big improvement from the 3 times I walked around the block just a few days ago. Getting around the house is no problem and my wife is amazed how well I go up and down the stairs.
My appetite is good and I'm starting to eat like I did before surgery. I hope to keep some of this extra weight off as my pants were getting a little snug before surgery. I still have some chest discomfort. Most of the discomfort is on my right side. More of a numbness than pain. I'm still trying to sleep on my sides at night and I find that is still a bit difficult. I have some follow up appointments with the surgeons physician assistant and cardiologist tomorrow at the hospital. My incisions are looking good. I'm looking forward to a good report from the hospital tomorrow.
