Looks like you're past the worst part and on your way to feeling a whole lot better. I started feeling "somewhat normal" (though still weak) at about 3 weeks--I even went to a halloween party and had a beer less than 3 weeks out of the hospital! Probably not the smartest move, but I got to show off my still "scary" chest incision for halloween.

Hi Rick,
Our stories sound a lot alike. I am 57 and had very few symptoms until about a month before my surgery. To me the better shape that you are in the faster and easier the recovery. I had been doing lots of walking to get in shape for hunting Dall Sheep. I am 6 weeks post op and am back to walking 7-8 miles per day. I have also gone back to work with some help because of the lifting restriction. It is great to hear such good stories. Wishing you continued good health.

Hang in there and good luck with your recovery.
