About Me (In My Own Words)
I had OHS and a full sternotomy to replace a leaking and narrowing mitral valve. I was released from the hospital 3 days later and did a number of weeks in outpatient cardiac rehab. I was lucky in that I had no complications and a great medical team. I spent the full 6-7 weeks during recouperation in an electric recliner with a lift. I found this to be much less painfull than sleeping in a flat bed or pushing up from a couch or regular chair.
