Thanks! I actually went to my floor to thank the nurses but no one was around. I must say it was a bit traumatic being up there feels like yesterday still. 😱

Speedy recovery to you. Is that a bottle of wine on your pillow? What a good choice of pictures. Last week, at 8 weeks post op, enjoyed my first glass, wait, two glasses, of wine!

Thanks everyone for so long I looked at other photos of people with their heart and scar photos it's hard to believe it's officially behind me! One week anniversary today and I definitely still feel out of sorts. But I know I'm progressing in the right direction and it is... Read more.
