I was able to walk for my masters of nursing graduation. Boy was I surprised at how tired I got! I go back to work (the desk part of my job) next Thursday - I’m glad I’ll be working from home, I might need a little nap at lunchtime!

Fred Earls Congratulations on the achievement. You will always remember the day, and the difficulties you endured in the process.

Ana Brusso That is a great accomplishment Cheryl, Congratulations! So happy for you. Blessings

Mike Dotson That is fantastic! Congratulations to you. The nap is well deserved.

Marie Myers Congratulations on your graduation!

Cheryl Mann Thanks everyone! Tomorrow is the big day - back to work - just desk work for a while. I won’t see patients for a couple more weeks - need to build up a little more strength/stamina for that. :)

Here is the mobile version of Deena’s pillow fort... kept me nice and comfy for my 3 hour drive home.

Susan Lynn Wow!!! Glad you're headed home, Cheryl! Safe travels!

Fred Earls Awesome, haven't thought about a pillow fort. We are getting an AirBnb and staying in town, Atlanta, for a few days afterward.

Glad to see you smiling under that mask!

Deena Elani Love it, Cheryl. Looks very comfy. Plus might I add, you have your java and Fuji water within reach. Nice touch. :)
You are in full recovery mode and nothing will stop ya.

Nancy Sells Oh wow, I might do this for my flights home from CC.

Cheryl Mann Yes Nancy - I highly recommend- it’s just 2 cheap pillows from Target - I did not have a sternotomy incision, but the extra support for my arms kept the “car jiggles” from bothering me. I even slept some on the way home.
And yes -Deena - I had my coffee, water where I could reach it. I also kept my incentive spirometer (breathing exercise) in my lap so I wouldn’t forget. My drive was 3 hours long , so my surgeon wanted me to stop to walk one time too.

Joseph Heinzmann You look happy. We are happy for you. I regret not photographing my pillow forts; should be a separate thread for best forts.

Patsy Stewart Look at you!! Welcome back home!!

Barbara Wood I love that so much...& your eyes are smiling. Happy healing to you:)

David Smith That’s great!! Welcome to the other side!!

Dylan Kempers You look fantastic, Cheryl! I had MV repair surgery 4/19/21 and was advised to sit on the back seat, because if I'm sitting on the front and --God forbid-- I'm involved in an accident and the front-seat airbags are activated, they may impact on my incisions. I wanted to share this with you in case you find it useful. :)

Surgery is done and went we’ll - I highly recommend the nerve block - surgery was over this afternoon and did not take any pain meds til 6pm. What everyone says is true - waiting is the worst part. Thank you everyone for everything! Apologies to all

Scott Kinghorn Nice to hear your surgery went well. Hope recovery is getting better. Nerve block??

Jill Boroniec Yes - would love to know more about this nerve block!

Fred Earls Wow! Just seeing you smile gives me some relief as to how quickly I may be able to feel back to normal after surgery. All the best to you over the next couple of days and weeks.

Cheryl Mann Scott and Jill - they offered me a nerve block - basically they numb the nerves to the surgical area - it is done when you are already unconscious and it lasts up to a day or 2 - you end up more comfortable and need less pain meds. I found that pain meds did not agree with me - I am managing my pain w plain Tylenol and an ice pack (I did get a few doses of IV Toradol the first couple days - it’s a little like IV Motrin/ibuprofen).

Scott Kinghorn Great. I'll ask for it. I've had toradol before. Thank you you for the info. Glad to see your out of the hospital. Hope fully you can give me more info ... Read more

Scott Kinghorn Great. I'll ask for it. I've had toradol before. Thank you you for the info. Glad to see your out of the hospital. Hope fully you can give me more info on what to expect pre-surgery and post. When you have the time. Thank you very much. Happy healing.
