per Richard King's post below; I activated my Heart Hugger device today. Seems highly useful.

Thanks for posting the picture Craig. I'll definitely grab one of these in advance of my October surgery. I remember using the cushion after my first open heart procedure - not very effective. I can also wear the hugger when I fly back home post surgery without attracting too much... Read more.

I'm glad you went with the heart hugger. Mine worked real well for me. Hope everything turns out better this time.

Craig I just read your journal. Very sorry that you're having such a dreadful healing experience. I hope that you find some real relief soon. Very best wishes - Paul

Wish I had something like that. I had the heart which did help. Is this called a cushion,will ask my doctors to look into to this instead of the heart pillow

You look like you're doing well, Craig! So was the repair surgery worth the pain and down time? I meet with my surgeon later this week to discuss the path forward for me since my pain is getting worse and is restricting activity.

That sternum hugger looks great. Not sure I want anything hugging my heart, I'll just let that organ be, but I could sure enjoy using a sternum hugger even years after OHS... All the best to you Craig.

Wow Craig...What a photo. Thinking about you and hoping you are feeling even a tiny bit better. I remember the photo of you getting some sun after your first OHS. Seems so long ago. Wishing you some relief from pain and a smoother path forward.. Take care.
