Search for heart hospitals that specialize in heart valve treatment.
I plan to do the cardiac rehab for sure. How many weeks did you wait to start it?
For reference, here is my email: alassally14@gmail.com.
I started rehab 3 weeks and 3 days after surgery. I am grateful to have had the extra time before starting so I could get some of my strength back on my own. I walked six times a day for a few minutes each time beginning the day after surgery. I increased the time a minute a day until I got to 10 minutes per walk. At that point I limited myself to just 3 walks a day, totaling 30
minutes per day. It really got me prepared for the rehab.
