not sure if this will come through or not. Bras I ordered from Amazon. Very comfortable after the surgery. Im a 36 c/d and I ordered the x-large and they fit well. The occupational therapist said they were better than what the hospital provided. And IMO very reasonable cost... Read more.

Thank you, Cheryl. I just checked the link and it works. For anyone else interested, the XLs are running low.

Bras are something I'm concerned about! All I have are underwire & I'm a weird size. Hopefully the hospital will have a few that work for me.

4 days sound like you are doing great. Hope mine is that short. Stay positive.❤️

Wow that's terrific. Congratulations!

Woohoo! Congratulations, 4 days is great. I wonder if that had anything to do with not feeling symptoms too badly prior?

That's fantastic!

Awesome news, Cheryl!!

That's great. I'm a veteran of a mitral valve repair, but a dear friend had radiation for Hodgkins about 30 years ago and now has the radiation-related aortic valve stenosis you describe. Glad you are doing well!

Do you have any secrets for getting out so fast?😊

Hi Michelle, I am similar to Cheryl in that I was out of the hospital in 4 days. What helped me was moving around and walking to keep my lungs clear.

Came home after four days in ICU. So thankful all the tubes are out. Still sleeping a lot. Get my energy in the afternoon and go for a walk. Up and about in the house going to bathroom a lot. So that counts. Life is good. ❤️

Welcome home, it is easier to gain energy at home then in the hospital. Good luck on your recovery.
