Alan Jamieson Naomi - I didn't get any guidance other than to not sit in the front seat. I was wearing an incision shield, so that helped with discomfort, but we hit a few pot holes (ahh, DC streets) and let me tell you - those did not feel good.

Recovery is going well, with a few downs, along with many ups.

Kevin Bradley Awesome news, Alan, you beat me I was sent home in 4 days. Keep up the great work man!

Mike Roskowinski Nice Alan! Good Idea I will make sure that my wife does something for everyone on my recovery team! Wish there is a way I could do something for the staff that is in the OR with me.

Diane Esposito Great idea, Alan, I wish I had thought of it before I was discharged.

Alan Jamieson Mike - check with your care nurse when you get there, there may be a way to do that.

One week left. Feeling a little anxious, but not too much. I give a lot of credit to this community and the great success stories that y'all have. Went ahead and took care of my beard and, while I was at it, shaved my head to make it easier post-op.

Alan Jamieson That all being said, I'm really sad about not having my facial hair.

Peter Eglinton Folks on this website consistently say "You got this!" Heading into my own surgery on Monday, I can't yet speak from experience -- but it certainly looks like from all the posts that we can handle it. :-) Best wishes to you!

Diane Esposito Alan an Naomi, I am only 1 day post surgery and have been up and walking around the hospital hallways. It was so much easier than I expected! Yes, my chest and upper back hurt but the pain meds handle it nicely. Tomorrow the chest tubes come out! And I’m being moved to the regular ward room from the CICU.
