Hi Judy, glad to hear that you are doing well in your recovery. I would like to know if the Chest Buddy Seatbelt Cushion helped for the car ride home from the hospital. My surgery date is 9/18 and I was thinking of purchasing one.

Judy S Hi Sue, I haven’t used it as of yet because it is really for when you’re driving yourself. It’s not thick enough to protect your sternum right after surgery. At the hospital they gave me a pillow that went between the sternum and the seatbelt and also served as what I used in the hospital for walking and coughing. They’ll probably give you something similar. If not, a regular, firmish pillow would work.

Sue Tom Thanks Judy S.

Judy S Hi Sue, I just started using the heart buddy this week and definitely recommend it when you’re further in recovery. It’s not that large and seems like it will be very helpful for driving!

Sue Tom Thanks Judy. Glad that the heart buddy is working for you!

Judy Shaw I'm happy to hear your surgery went well. I'm sorry though that you are dealing with Afib. I'm at 6 weeks post op and doing well. My cardiologist said I was a tough woman. So far I've had no issues and everyone says I look good and makes me wonder what I looked like before surgery haha

Good luck tomorrow Judy. Let go and let Dr. Castro handle the rest. Take it one day at a time and we look forward to hearing your progress. We will all be thinking of you tomorrow plus I will be watching closely because I have the same condition as you and my surgery is exactly one month following yours.
