I’m home now recuperating. One question I have…how much did you cough during the first 3 weeks post-op? That’s the only issue I have — what seems like excessive coughing. I did a lot of coughing while in the hospital and it didn’t concern anyone. Lungs are clear, chest X-ray looks good. But now that I’m home, the coughing is wearing me out. I mostly cough when I talk, but sometimes I will have a coughing “fit” and the heart pillow is my cherished comforter! Thanks for your insight, heart friends.
