It is tempting to feel good one day and then do too much. For recovering from heart surgery , the slow way is best.. Hope you have a good day tomorrow!

110% agree with Marie. Take small steps forward for a few weeks at least. Get in touch with cardio rehab to let them establish a custom program for you.

I had one of those days as I was recovering. Did too much one day and paid a price for it the next. Take it easy.

I thank you all. I will try to take it easy

Thanks Don . I wasn't really sure about cardiac rehab but I will give it a try. Does insurance cover it
8 years ago (April 26, 2018)
Typically Yes, but always call and confirm with both the provider that they are 'in network' and with your insurance(copay or co-insurance applicable?). In my case with heart tests, surgery, hospital, etc.....I am WAY past my annual out of pocket max, so all paid for by insurance(which once your bills... Read more.
