Wow! Continue your amazing recovery.
That is a small incision and it looks so good!
Sorry I missed your post from the day before your surgery. Your incision looks great! same surgery I had. Isn't it amazing?
Yes, it is, Mary. I had a small bout with A-Fib while still under anesthetic, and another one while I was in the hospital, so I'm on warfarin until November, and Metropolol(sp?) for a really LONG time....

I'm 5 and a half weeks out from surgery, and feeling good. I've been in rehab for 2 weeks.

One day post operative Minimally invasive.
Hi Bob, hope your recovery is speedy and uneventful.
Looking very serene Bob...hope you are feeling peaceful and comfortable.
I've been home since Sunday, as I had a minor bout of A Fib (which scared the heck out of me). Walked about a mile yesterday, over the course of the entire day.
Helped my wife cut the grass. I was on a riding mower. :-)
