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!
Wonderful to hear.
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.
Than you Nancy!
That should be - Thank you!

The morning after pose! Welcome to recovery!
Congratulations!!
Someday, I'll get the nerve to post my morning after surgery video that we made. You look fabulous!❤️🩹
You look great Cheryl!
Looking good! I I was very pleased when the neck port was removed...and the chest tube.
Welcome to the other side! You look great, have they started the walking routine.
Welcome to recovery and continued healing and good health Cheryl. God bless you 🙏❤️❤️🩹
Wow, you look great. I remember I was so not at myself on the first day - congratulations
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.
