We are 6 weeks post op. Just finished first week of rehab. I am experiencing tachycardia and so have doctor has doubled one of the meds to see if that changes things. Have been working out in my garden, taking it very easy and not doing long periods. Now that I can drive, have been visiting the nurseries and bringing home "little treasures" to plant. Husband still yells to come into the house if he thinks I have been out long enough. Finding it difficult to refrain from the things I'd like to be doing. They tell me one more week and I shall be able to go back into the pool at the club. I am so looking forward to that. Getting stronger and doing more each week. To all the fathers, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY this weekend. To all, have a wonderful weekend.

Had to believe it's been a month tomorrow. Had checkup with Dr. Kanzal and nurse practitioner last Thursday at Chicago. Received good report from them, chest xray looked good. Things I was still concerned about were normal and should go away with time. Protime regulated; started working in the garden this past weekend. So great to be out in the dirt again. Popped few seeds into pots. Will be starting rehab week after next from what I am told. Tomorrow will be first day I can drive. Whoppee!! I'm off to the hairdresser's to get haircut and color some gray!! To my friends and my new "mended heart" friends, have a wonderful week!!

Jean...thanks for the advice on this week's appt. I remember reading your post about almost missing it. Mine is mid-morning so we are going up and staying outside Chicago Wed. night. My girlfriend picked me up for breakfast and grocery shopping. It was fun discussing topics that were not medically related. Am doing well; weather has gotten hot & humid here, so I'll probably be cranky before long...good sign I am imroving. We have protime in the morning; am anxious to see if INR is still on track. Hope all have a good week.
