Ok I'm doing better I had a lil set back I thought I pull a muscle in my chest area but now it's fine after the muscle relaxer it's gone back to the regular hurt I call it because my chest still pretty sore.. Let me tell you all this... Read more.

Glad you're doing well, Janice. I hope your chest feels better soon. It's easy to feel like we can do everything as usual again, but sometimes our bodies just aren't quite there yet. :-) Prayers for continued recovery, heart sister! God bless!
Hey Tammy and thank you and yes it's getting better and you are so correctly and despite my lil set back I'm thinking I'm doing good even though my body is reluctant sometimes thank you heart sister and I'm hoping you doing fine also take care..

Cardiac Rehab went fine today it was a piece of cake but sure that was really orientation lol.. Tomorrow is day 2 and see if I would have bragging rights then like I have now lol.. #TeamJanice lets do this..
In my experience with physical therapy, these people know what they're doing. You'll start out slowly and they'll add a bit in each day so you can improve without feeling beaten up. Plus sometimes you meet really nice people there. Enjoy it!
yes what jean said they start slow and only do what you can do and you meet a lot of new friends
Hey thanks everyone I believe I can take this program for what it is worth and it is set up not to kill ya (😀) but to help ya.. Day #2 wasn't bad at all I'm glad I'm starting it now because I don't think I could have done this... Read more.
I hope you find that your rehab is a confidence booster, Janice. Power on!
Yes thanks Jean I do already already just what I been needing in my life after my surgery just what I need..
