Hi Deborah,
Best of luck on your cardiac rehab program. You certainly sound busy - don\'t overdo

Deborah Arndt Thanks. Yes, that's the challenge. I'm getting better at both estimating what I can handle and knowing when to throw in the towel and sit down/lay down. I took it very easy yesterday because I really wanted to make it to church today. I did, and the rest of the day was pretty busy, but I made myself keep my pace slow and take frequent rests. Now I'm wide awake when I should be going to bed, but feeling really good.

Deborah,
I started doing the spirometer much more..at least 5 times an hour. My cough is gone as well as the post nasal drip. I\'m going to continue through the weekend.
Wish I was there to help you. You definitely need some help.

Deborah Arndt That's encouraging to hear. I've been trying to use mine more and it does seem to help. I'm blowing about what I did pre-surgery. I haven't done it enough yesterday or today because I've been gone so much, but I think being more active has helped me breathe better, so maybe no harm done. I'm feeling up to doing more and my son is more responsive, so I think I'll be okay. My hubbie is home for 3 days and that helps too. I'm thrilled that my one best friend is back in town and the other is finally getting over her bad cold, so they can help me too.
Sounds like you are doing good under the circumstances. Glad you got a little extra help. Hope hubby returns soon that will help. Good Luck.

Wow, You have alot to deal with and be in recovery also. I hope asking your son for things very directly will give you the assistance you need. Try not to over do it.
Your body will tell you what you are not ready for. I developed A-fib 3 weeks after my surgery. It was not a big deal, but I wasn\'t expecting it.
I wish you a smooth recovery.

Deborah Arndt According to my dr., I may be a "poster child" for how it's supposed to go. It still seems slow to me, but I'm very grateful no complications have arisen.
Deborah, Congratulations on the great news on your surgery. I\'m sure it feels great to get those pieces of equipment disconnected. Take care
