Wow! I can't believe it has almost been 2 years since my surgery. Recovery was a lot easier than I expected. I experienced very little pain and I asked them to stop giving me pain meds right out of ICU. The initial far of going through the surgery is honestly the worst part. I have my annual cardiologist appointment on June 11th and I have to explain t the Dr. that I don't feel much different now than I did before. I still get tired very easily and I still get short of breath. One of my biggest regrets about my recovery was that I didn't take his advice ad do the cardiac rehab. I am hoping he will let me start now. I am hoping my lack of energy is because I haven't pushed myself and my body is just used to feeling this way. I also still get panic attacks which feel like heart attacks and I always feel like something is wrong with my heart. I always worry that he will tell me the pulmonary artery they gave me isn't working and that's why I feel this way. Here's to hoping for a good outcome at the Dr!
