Yes. I have done 24 sessions with 12 to go. Continue to increase the grade on the treadmill and the resistance on the arm pedal machine.
I go to rehab a 7am before work, but I don't have to be at work until 9am (if I choose). Every situation is different.
I hope that you can get in as much rehab as you can.

Susan,
Great to hear you are recoverying so well. Isn't it amazing to look back to the holidays and our surgeries and see how far we have progressed. Modern medical techniques and the hand of God.
I too have enjoyed the cardio rehab. Mine does not include weights, but I do the hand pedal machine, recumbant bike and the treadmill. Also amazing to see my own advancements since the first sessions.
Got to visit and play with our 16 monyh old grand daughter. First time I could play with her. It was great. Sothankful I had the surgery done this winter.
Hang in there and as Adam says "keep on tickin!".
Note: my former director tried to give me the business about being out in the halls too much on my first week back. He had no idea that I had just returned from heart surgery. The next day he stopped me inthe hall and said "how's the heart ticking!". Kind of ironic.

Susan Muhly Yes, it is amazing to see how far we have progressed since surgery. I am so glad you are able to play with your grand daughter! Are you still doing cardio rehab now that you are back at work? Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to finish all 12 weeks of rehab. I anticipate going back to work in about 5 weeks if I am able.

Susan,
So glad to hear you are doing so well. Keep up the good work. I'm so glad you are doing cardio rehab. It really helped me gain confidence in my exercising besides the usual walking. After 6 weeks of rehab I was back to working with my trainer and started basic swimming with board and flippers. Now 5 months out I am swimming breast stroke and crawl with ease. Take care.

Hi Susan,
Glad to hear you are feeling so well. I also have LBBB, and it is more annoying than anything else. It comes and goes and I can really feel it at times. Apparently, leaking mitral valves can cause the electrical signals in the ventricle to get disturbed. Sometimes it goes away and sometimes it does not. I started a low dose beta blocker and it got a lot better. Just thought I would pass that along.
God speed and God Bless,

Susan your really on the fast track to recovery. Keep up the good work. I'm in surgeon mode and so that know surgery is on the horizon. Do let us know when you make mile markers.

Susan Muhly I read your journal and it sounds like you are doing very well. A lot of people told me I would notice a big improvement at 6 weeks post-op, and I did! You will feel better and better. All of the little improvements had a big impact on me. The doctor gave me the OK to walk my dog yesterday and I am thrilled. Before that I couldn't hold the leash because my dog pulls once in awhile. I hope you have many little improvements each day.
I am from: Beaverton, Oregon
