It's almost a year since my surgery. Been feeling lousy for just about a week. Waking up with the sweats and or chills and night. Lack of energy. My cardiologist sent me for some blood cultures. Still waiting on the results. Anyone else have a similar experience?

You did the right thing going to the cardiologist. Could be a "bug" you picked up somewhere. I am sure they will figure it out. Feel better soon!

Omg yes fever chills and sweats ended up at the ER.

sorry guess I never came back. Nothing was found on those tests. After about 10 days the night sweats stopped. Hope everyone is doing well.

I wear my Fitbit daily but haven't hit goal too often. My surgery was just over two months ago.

Nice to see so many people like yourself wearing fitbits (I wear a Garmin) to track your great progress 😁

I was obsessed when I first got my Fitbit about two years ago. I overdid it. Guess I was doing between 12,000 and 20,000 steps. I was it a group on Facebook. Ended up getting planter fasciitis. Not going to do that again.

Take it a day at a time. I progressed more quickly once I had 3 weeks of Cardiac Rehab behind me.

It's still so very very early for you. Give yourself a break. This is not a race. It took me a year before I could attend dance class again. Your body's been through a lot.

Ouch PF (aka Policeman's Heel 👮) would be very painful. I was the same trying to get up step esp out of surgery but now know to slow down when my body tells me.
