Hello all.. I'm coming up 7 weeks Post-op. I'm doing good, not great but good. I'm still having back pain so My primary care physician has scheduled me for physical therapy starting Friday. I hope it helps. I also have pain on the right side of my chest. I see my cardiologist tomorrow, so hopefully she'll give me some answers/help on that front. It sucks being in constant pain for 7 weeks. But i know it will get better.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to update everyone. I was released on Monday morning at 11am. A day earlier than they had planed. I was out walking before the physical therapist came to see me, so we talked she had me do some stairs and released me from PT since I was already doing what I needed to. I'm so glad to be home and in my bed. Still having back and shoulder pain but sleeping in my bed has helped. I spoke with my Nurse practitioner on thursday and she added Ibuprofen the my pain med regiment, which helped more than the oxy/Tylenol mix they had me on. Thank you everyone for the love, prayers, good vibes, and helping me thru this all. ♡

Hello everyone. I am doing well. My surgery was Thursday. The surgery went well, no compilations. I was out of the ICU by Thursday at 3:30. I'm having more pain in back and shoulders than the scar on my chest from the surgery. Due to the back pain it's been hard to sleep at night.
