It's been 2 weeks after being discharged home. I made the 60 minute marker of walking and finally being able to climb 3 flights of stairs! Yeheey! Thank you again for all the prayers and positive vibes. My swollen logs have finally diminished to legs, although I'm still in Lasix which makes me urinate every 2 hours, I'm not complaining. Being stolen all over was uncomfortable. I have an upcoming cardiology appt this coming Wed, and I'm hoping the medications I'm taking will be reduced. I have a feeling that the intake of all of the meds contribute to my "no appetite" issue. The pain remains, and im hopeful that as the sternum heals, the pain will reduce and be gone in time. Sleep however remains a challenge. I'm still pushing 1 day at a time and continue to pray that this recovery goes smoothly.
