Welcome to the "Other side of the mountain". Wishing you a bump-free and speedy recovery. I was not given an option of going from the hospital, straight to rehab, think that was a great way to go. MY surgeon did insist I have another adult with me, 24 hrs a day, especially when walking..for the first 2 weeks at home. My 30 y/o took emergency leave from her job, to be here with me, while her husband cared for their 5 children...........I was lucky to have a loving family. All my adult children have done a part, in helping me recover....driving me till I can drive, shopping etc. I could not have done this without them and the support of loving friends. I start Cardiac Rehab June 7th....
Life is worth every moment of discomfort ,we all have endured and I would do it again, without blinking an eye, but with alot less fear and apprehension .
Best of luck...to you and your loving family.
