Hi Donna! I hope you are doing well. I saw we had our surgeries a day apart! Are you doing rehab? How does your incision feel? I know of you had the sternotomy and I had robotic, but my skin is still numb and when I over do it, feels like sandpaper is scraping it. 😮 But it's tolerable. I actually kept my bra on most of the day today. 😄

Donna Casaletto Yes, I’ve been in rehab for 3 weeks now 2 days a week! Loving the exercise portion! My incision is healing as good as expected!! Buying a lot of high neck tops and constantly applying mederma and coconut oil on it.

Kathy Ozio Don't worry about your scar! Wear it with pride- you made it through and it's your proof! 🙂

Donna Casaletto Thank you 😘❤️‍🩹

Pamela Gregory My surgeon said "No Sun" for one year and it should be a fine white line. He said I didn't need to put anything on it.

Hello Donna
I hope that you are improving with each day and that your back pain has subsided. Getting out of bed and walking really helped me a lot. The mobility keeps all the muscles, joints and bones fluid. The stretch regimen during cardio rehab was a huge boost. I had to "unlearn" my counter productive habits of over-reaching & "bouncing" during the exercise. I tried just charging ahead of my abilities, and had to adjust to making steady, metered progress. That was my experience. I'm sure others were/are able to recover much quicker. Good Luck & God Bless You!

Regarding your post on your reading of 81. Not being a doctor i am no expert on echo readings but i believe that right after surgery like in your case, you cannot take too much away from the readings until some time goes by and everything settles down.

Donna Casaletto I know 😳🙈‼️Now that Covid cases are decreasing Mass General Brigham have started opening their research studies. I opted for 2 of the studies ( How listening to music can help heal cardiac patients recovery and the other one involves wearing a Fitbit before surgery ( a week or two and post op ) to help prevent post op complications. Well I just tried my ECG reading with my Fitbit that they provided and it gave me an inconclusive message because my heart rate is too high 141 bpm 😳😳😳😳

Richard Munson I think you need to chill out. I can send up shadow to keep you busy. Music good. Tom petty maybe.

Richard Munson In basic terms he says getting mitral valve surgery early rather than later is good medicine regarding this ejection fraction. Google ejection fraction to know what it is. I never did well in school on fractions lol. He notes a reading of 55 being good. Mine was 55-60 on last weeks echo so i was pleased with that.
